      Hello team,
      We recently updated our FOG server from 1.5.10.1593 to 1.5.10.1615 and our PXE booting stopped working afterward. We tested on both UEFI and Legacy boot and found that TFTP was timing out afterward.
      I’m having a hard time identifying which service FOG is using to run its TFTP – the documentation talks about Fedora and Ubuntu, but I’m using RedHat 8.10, and neither of the services listed for Fedora or Ubuntu were present.
      As a work around, I just did a good old-fashioned “yum install tftp” and changed the config file to point to /tftpboot. This worked to restore service, but I noticed that the PXE boot menu doesn’t look the same afterward. I suspect it’s because I’m not using the same service / config file that FOG usually does.

      Is there another service I should be checking to ensure FOG is working correctly with TFTP? That way I can shut off my other “workaround” TFTP service that I setup?

        @kenneth-sisco These are the packages installed on a fresh system generally:
        attr bc curl dhcp-server gcc gcc-c++ genisoimage git gzip httpd jq lftp m4 make mariadb mariadb-server mod_ssl mtools net-tools nfs-utils openssl php php-bcmath php-cli php-common php-fpm php-gd php-json php-ldap php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-pecl-ssh2 php-process syslinux tar tftp-server unzip util-linux-user vsftpd wget xz-devel

        I think the relevant one is tftp-server. Why i tgot removed is a bit strange in my opinion, but hopefully this helps.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

          @Tom-Elliott Thank you! This helps a lot! Funny enough, it was tftp-server that I installed. I suspect we may have had a different issue (maybe during a patch management cycle) and these things just got tied together.
