@cml Hello, I’m on Fog 1.2.0, but don’t see the realtek.pxe file on my server. I’m having trouble with a Lenovo E440 and would like to try it. Is it available for downloading? Thank you!

It’s tempting, John, but I’m not giving up just yet.

It still surprises me that my user account is an Administrator, but I’m still not Queen of the Ubuntu castle. Mercy, I’ve made no progress today … my new boss must be totally impressed with the new Tech Lady.

It just says 12.04 LTS. I have not done the 81 updates that are available. I did try to do this: chmod -R 777 /tftpboot and got ‘operation not permitted’. This folder is owned by mystery user #1002 which does not show up in my user list. I have not been able to get dnsmasq set up because each roadblock requires study on my part.

Tried to install dnsmasq and it threw an error about dnsmasq-base being an unmet dependency. This sure is making me nervous though I do appreciate the advice.

[INDENT]The firewall is disabled and I can successfully transfer the file via TFTP on my windows machine. Rights to tftpboot folder show: Owner=1002 (a user created as part of the installation?), Group=root and Others=Access Files. Not sure how to adjust that, but I made sure the rights to the images folder look OK (owner is root). Even tried a subfolder in images with ‘create and delete’ rights for all users even though I’m not getting that far in the process. Thank you for the help, Tom![/INDENT]

Hello, I’m the rookie that struggled with TFTP login issues all day yesterday. I reinstalled FOG 1.2.0 today and it seems to have fixed that problem. Today I’ve struggled with the PXE boot. I can turn on a Dell D620, but get the T01, E3B file not found on my three victims (old Dell D620 (32bit), Thinkpad E440 (64) and a 64-bit VM). I tried adding an advanced menu option, but haven’t seen it come up. I’m not using FOG for DHCP and do get an IP address. DHCP entries for 66 and 67 have been made. The undionly.kpxe file does exist in the TFTPBOOT folder. I went with 12.04 LTS desktop version after getting befuddled with the server version which I tried after getting befuddled with the desktop version. I’ve tried using the undionly.kpxe.INTEL file as well, but went back to undionly.kpxe. FOG does turn on the D620 (the bright spot in the day), misses the PXE boot with the file not found errors, gets to the Windows login screen and then shuts down to try it all over again. This is what I get from the boot.php file. Any advice you can give me would be most appreciated.

New job, new OS, new imaging server = big headache. This rookie went around and around with this error today. Tried resetting the passwords repeatedly. Sounds like I need to delete the FOG user I set up on the Ubuntu box and start learning about this 777 stuff … in a hurry.
