7156 Uefi pxe DHCP error
-
@george1421 if I am reading right this will work with your router as the dhcp
-
@dureal99d Sorry I was testing some advanced dnsmasq configs so I couldn’t respond right away. Yes my current test environment is with a soho home router (WRT54) as the dhcp server and my FOG-Pi server (Pi2b running Raspbian) as the dnsmasq 2.76 server.
-
@george1421 this what I get when I try to restart the service
sudo service dnsmasq restart Failed to restart dnsmasq.service: Unit dnsmasq.service not found.yet when I run this command ““dnsmasq -v”” I get this

@dureal99d Did you remember to install your distribution’s dnsmasq package first? If so the service name may not be called dnsmasq since it appears that Ubuntu 16 looks like its systemd based. A quick check is to just reboot the computer. Once its back up then key in
ps aux|grep dnsmasqto see if the dnsmasq service is running in memory. I need to figure out what the proper systemd restart command is.[Edit] According to this github page: https://gist.github.com/magnetikonline/6236150

@george1421 I did not install dnsmasq. I will redo all the steps from scratch. I will install my distros dnsmasq first, then I will do the steps and get back to you.
-
@dureal99d OK just install your distro’s dnsmasq version then just pop back to the directory where you built dnsmasq and just key in
sudo make installand it should see that the binary has already been created and just copy over the compiled version. But did the compile right since it was installed and reported the right version when the command was run. -
@george1421 ok I’m waiting on my machine to boot.

@dureal99d Yes, that is expected. It says the binary you complied is up to date and just recopied the files to their destination location. So
dnsmasq -vshould show that 2.76 is installed (hope). -

@george1421 to edit this file what do I type
-
@dureal99d OK then issue the network manager restart that is below. Then (at least on my Pi) inspect the /var/log/syslog file way at the bottom. You should see the startup of the dnsmasq service. Confirm the version number there is showing 2.76. If that is the case then you have successfully updated your dnsmasq to 2.76.

@george1421 I just thought I would have to edit this, dnsmasq file.

@dureal99d Ah ok to add uefi support? I am working on another tutorial that covers that. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8726/advanced-dnsmasq-techniques
I think the bits you need are on the third post. Below is that config file. The 192.168.112.24 is MY FOG/dnsmaq server. This is the simple way to add uefi support. I’m working on a more complex way that opens up new options. But if you want to get uefi/bios working this should get you going.

@george1421 cool. and I see a whole bunch of data popped into the syslog once I ran that network command
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager. -
@george1421 I still need the command to edit ltsb.conf file
-
@george1421 ok, let me try this another way. is this ltsb file one I should crate myself? and if so where do I place it after I’m done?
-
@dureal99d Yes it is a file you create. Typically we call this ltsp.conf and it goes in /etc/dnsmasq.d directory. You will need to use your favorite text editor. I use vi (because I’m old). You need to be sure to launch your text editor either as administrator if doing via the gui or as sudo if launching it by command line. If you use vi then the command would be
sudo vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.confIf you have never used vi before, don’t! All of the text editor commands are cryptic and will drive you nuts to learn.
