    • RE: No Network Boot Option in BIOS

      I think Quazz is right. I was trying “sudo dnsmasq” to troubleshoot. Sorry - am very new to Linux. I think this issue is resolved, though PXE is not working, but I’ll ask about that in a new thread. For anyone reading about this issue, the steps in here will help set up dnsmasq, and answered my question.

    • RE: No Network Boot Option in BIOS

      Thanks George. dnsmasq now active. However I still get the error “dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use” when I try “sudo dnsmasq”. I have already removed the line “dns=dnsmasq” from NetworkManager.conf. Is this a problem?

    • RE: No Network Boot Option in BIOS

      Thanks George. You were right about the network stack, I found that easily and enabled it. Now I have options to boot in Onboard NIC!

      I updated dnsmasq to 2.76 by following this guide. The problem I have now is that I get this error message on dnsmasq restart:

      “Job for dnsmasq.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status dnsmasq.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.”

      I looked up this error message online and in the forum, but couldn’t find a resolution. I followed the advice here, and have added/removed the dns=dnsmasq multiple times, but same error. Any ideas?

      “journalctl -xe” is very long, but I can post here if needed. “systemctl status dnsmasq.service” returns:

      ~/dnsmasq-2.76$ systemctl status dnsmasq.service

    • No Network Boot Option in BIOS
      Server
      • FOG Version: 1.4.0
      • OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
      Client
      • Service Version: 0.11.12
      • OS: Windows 10
      Description

      Linux novice here, trying to implement Fog at our institution. I believe there may be multiple issues going on, and will try to list them systematically.

      The problem is that Fog appears to be set up correctly, but when I try to capture an image, the host PC doesn’t have an option to network boot, and I don’t see any indication of Fog during startup.

      • Fog is installed successfully on Ubuntu, not as a DHCP server. We are running SonicWall Firewall, so I followed this guide for setting up Fog without a DHCP server, since I couldn’t find the equivalent 066/067 configs in SonicWall. The steps seemed to work fine.
      • I’m attempting to capture an image of a Dell Latitude 3560. I have installed the default Fog client on this Windows 10 machine. The wired network adapter is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I understand that this may not work with “undionly.kpxe”, and may need to be switched to “ipxe.pxe”, but I don’t know for sure if that’s the problem.
      • The Dell doesn’t have an option in boot for “network adapter” or equivalent, and I confirmed that PXE is enabled in “integrated NIC” in BIOS.

      Let me know if you need any more info/logs/etc. Appreciate any help.
