Tftp stops working a few minutes after starting

[quote=“elijahkan14, post: 31521, member: 24797”]I contacted the director of the district and apparently our ISP manages our switches now that our networking guy resigned. He said we can enable portfast no problem but disabling STP is not an option. Does this mean we will not be able to use the new version of fog? How come the process gives errors on the FOG server if it could be a switch issue?[/quote]

Normally I would say to disable STP and enable port fast if you were having issues getting your file to your hosts, However that is not the issue here, there is something killing the process, or the process is erroring out.

I’ve seen times where re-installing the service will fix the issue try this:
[code]
sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa
sudp apt-get install tftpd-hpa[/code]

[S]I successfully uninstalled tftpd-hpa but I’m getting a 404 on reinstall.[/S]
Had to update my apt-get lists first.

[code]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tftpd-hpa[/code]

404 errors are due to connectivity, are you certain your fog server has access to the internet?

How do I get rid of:
“Errors were encountered while processing:
tftpd-hpa
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)”

“Should port-fast be enabled on the port to which the server is connected, the port to which the workstation is connected, or both?”

[Jaymes Driver]

You’re removal never completed, run the purge command again now that you ran the update.

and I enabled portfast on every port I had

[code]
sudo dpkg --configure -a[/code]

[elijahkan14]

Ran that command and then [code]sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa[/code] and got the same error.

I don’t think I am, I ran [code]sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove ltsp-server-standalone[/code]
and got
[code]E: Unable to locate package ltsp-server-standalone[/code]

[Jaymes Driver]

try [code] sudo apt -get remove dnsmasq[/code]

[Tom Elliott]

[code]sudo apt-get -f install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
sudo apt-get -f tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa[/code]
