DNSMASQ setup help

i ran a test on it and i am still getting that message when trying to boot via pxe

[Wayne Workman]

@mati-92 Check the target computer’s firmware settings. I’ve noticed on some that there are options for network booting that you can set in the firmware itself, such as target server and boot file.

a little bit of progress i set both vm machines to bridge adaptors. i then boot via pxe on the 2nd vm and the following comes up.

[Wayne Workman]

@mati-92 Well if it’s asking for undionly.0 then give that to it lol.

make a sym-link for it:

ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0

Good to see progress!

@mati-92 Can you post your current ltsp.conf file and then the output of this command again, please?

ls -lahRt /tftpboot

[mati-92]

[Wayne Workman]

@mati-92 the sym-link for the undionly.0 file points to a nonsense location.

Delete that and recreate it.

rm -rf /tftpboot/undionly.0
ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0

[mati-92]

@Wayne-Workman tried the last thing you suggested and i tried it again and still not working.

[Wayne Workman]

Can you run this (I apologize but I need to make sure you got it right).

ls -lahRt /tftpboot

And please provide another photo of any error you’re seeing when trying to network boot.

[mati-92]

[Wayne Workman]

I’d like for you to run these commands and then provide another screen shot of the output of the below command.

rm -f /tftpboot/undionly.0
rm -f /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe.0

[Wayne Workman]

@mati-92 Does it work now?

[mati-92]

@Wayne-Workman im afraid not i tried it from a physical computer sat on the network and i get tftp open timeout error

[mati-92]

[Tom Elliott]

@mati-92 There’s a typo.

unionly.0 should be undionly.0 MISSING A LETTER D

[mati-92]

@Wayne-Workman said:

ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0

i checked through all my commands ran from today and edited this one

ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0 ( i had forgotten the d off the last bit. i ran tried booting from my other virtual machine same error

[Wayne Workman]

ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe.0
