@yuma said in How to set menu item as default? (And some other queries):

but when I use tftp, it takes a very long time - eventually iPXE says it timed-out.

Well that’s a different issue. We can switch over to http and make things go a bit faster. For the my how to boot thread, for consistency sake I use the majority of tftp. But for big things we can surely switch over to http and see better performance.

@yuma Misunderstood this as being a tutorial on how to set this up. Somehow missed your question. So moving this topic back to general questions now.

Anyone able to help here? I don’t do much ISO booting stuff.

@marcolefo Sounds like the package ‘build-essential’ should be an install target of the FOG install script? It doesn’t seem to be.

However I think my distro installs of Debian 12 and Mint 22.1 both installed that package by default.

@yuma Ok, turns out that even though we use ufw disable it does not properly remove all the chains and rules it creates. This seems to be a known issue.

While we surely can add this block of iptables calles to clean it up I am wondering if we should actually do this as it’s really ufw’s job to do.

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -t nat -F iptables -t mangle -F iptables -F iptables -X
