Ubuntu Installation for FOG (12.04+)

[rhythmtone]

Thanks for the reply Tom! I will find out…

It did ask if I wanted to change the default interface from eth0 on installation; not sure if that is plain text or a variable called up from the system…

You’re the best!

PS - Happy Friday! Beer’s on me!

Hi,
ifconfig lists the network interface it as eth0, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Thanks!

All,

Just to help out, hopefully, a little more. Change the sed commands in the tutorial to:
[code]sed -i ‘s:udpcastout=“udpcast-20071228”:udpcastout=“udpcast-20120424”:’ …/lib/common/config.sh
sed -i ‘s:udpcastsrc=“…/packages/udpcast-20071228.tar.gz”:udpcastsrc=“…/packages/udpcast-20120424.tar.gz”:’ …/lib/common/config.sh[/code]

If anyone wants to do it the manual/gedit/nano way here is what I did:

/fog_0.32/lib/common/
gedit config.sh

where are the udpcast files from the download package?

udpcastsrc=“…/packages/udpcast-20071228.tar.gz”;
udpcasttmp=“/tmp/udpcast.tar.gz”;
udpcastout=“udpcast-20071228”;

You just change the date on the 2nd and 4th lines above from 20071228 to 20120424, save, navigate to /fog_0.32/packages/ and download the new UDPcast :

/fog_0.32/packages/
wget [url]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/udpcast-20120424.tar.gz[/url]

With this change, FOG will install/configure correctly on Ubuntu 14.04 with the newer UDPcast.
But even though it does install/configure correctly, I still can’t get it to PXE boot in my environment… it fails to PXE boot with a TFTP timeout error. I’m going to try it on 12.04 today or soon, but it is strange that it won’t PXE boot at all…

Thanks,
D.L.

PS - In 10.04 and 11.10 everything works great, so I know that it’s not my network setup that is the problem. Somewhere there is a PXE/TFTP/Linux/Ubuntu/FOG compatibility problem in 12.04+
