Did you try this and it didn’t work? That happened me too! But then I realised I am an imbecile and was typing: tftp-hpa instead of tftp[B]d[/B]-hpa!
So 12 hours later, I re-read this, typed it properly and I am back in action again! OMG what a wasted 12 hours of my life that was… ugh
I tried everything, even casting a spell on the machine 
Thanks so much astrouga - I was ready to throw in the towel
This would be really helpful in the wiki. -
Where would you recommend it go in the wiki? Honestly, these days I come to the forums for assistance and never use the wiki.

BTW, the solution ullawolf1 suggested works really well:
"So tftpd-hpa starts “to early”. You can fix this by editing the /etc/rc.local and add the line
[CODE]/bin/sleep 30 && /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart[/CODE]
to restart the daemon after 30 seconds."

When things calm down a bit at work I’ll update the wiki some more. I’m midstream of updating the Ubuntu install articles and adding info for more versions.

Sweet - added that now so I don’t need to remember. I get so deep into these things, then months later I totally forget what I did in the first place
I had to come back here again to check! -
This happens to us frequently. Create a launcher and set it to automatically run on after boot. Also, turning off the GUI seemed to help oddly.

Perfect Solution!!! worked great for me also!!

Has anyone in this thread found this issue with 0.33b? Maybe I can append/sed the command into the installation so nobody has to worry about this!

This is not really a FOG issue, it’s an Ubuntu 12.04 issue in how they start the daemons before the interface has an IP bound to it.

Brilliant!! I was facing restoring my aging Ubuntu 10.04 image. Thanks astrouga!:)

Glad it was helpful.

Funny to read this now. This is the reason I switched from using a Ubuntu server install to a plain Debian install. Overall I’ve still been happier with Debian, but good to know this was nothing I broke.

I think the Linux community is abandoning UpStart altogether and instead going to use Systemd. I know Ubuntu had hesitation, believing Upstart was a better system, but this problem goes to show you it had its flaws

Just wanted to add that I needed this fix on clean install of Debian 7.5 and fog 1.1.0 to get the TFTP server talking to my clients.
