Debian Installation :: Boot Via PXE, "no Default Or Ui Configuration Directive"?
Mar 14, 2011
I own two computers, one netbook and one laptop. I want to boot my netbook as a diskless client via PXE. I set up a dhcp-, tftp and nfs-server on my laptop but when i boot my netbook, the follwoing messages are displayed:(to make it more clear, i uploaded the whole output and shortened the output below)
A week ago I opened this thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=61580 in "Board index ‹ Help ‹ Installation" and asked for a moderator to move this to here. Because it hasnt happened up to know, I am reopening the thread here. It would be reeeeally great if somebody could help me with my problem!

I recently decided to install Ubuntu on a couple of computers without CD drives (netbooks), so I followed these instructions to create a bootable flash drive: http:[url].....That worked fine for both netbooks. Now I'm trying to use the same flash drive on a desktop currently running Windows Vista, but get his message when I try to boot from the flash drive:
No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!I tried to boot one of the netbooks from the flash drive again and that still works.I'm thinking a BIOS setting.
Syslinux shows the message in the title everytime I try to boot from a 2gb usb drive. I've tried with Xubuntu 10.04 Desktop for i386 and Linux Mint 9, both with Unetbootin and Universal USB Installer, but I'm getting the same error all the time, it's driving me crazy. I haven't tried with other USB sticks or a different PC though, that's next on my list. Below's a dxdiag file for if you need it,
I downloaded SUSE to a directory and copied that to a CD to use for running a trial on a 950 Mhz laptop. The CD does show a directory Boot and the boot directory does contain files. There is also a file named syslinux.cfg which when viewed from MS XP is identified as a configuration file for MS Office Outlook.
On boot attempts from the CD I get the Error message: No default or UI configuration directive found.Do I have an error on the D/L disk or is my proceedure not correct?
I am trying to salvage the contents of my HD. I have tried to install Ubuntu from a CD (I created) and keep getting the error "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" My OS is Vista Home.
So I decided to go on and install 10.04 LTS, because it is LTS... I created the live USB as directed on the Ubuntu download page. I download Universal USB Installer and it says USB created successfully. However, when I boot from the USB the error comes up as mentioned in title... The USB has no problems because I installed 10.10 last time from the very same USB. There's nothing wrong with the procedure because I am following the officially suggested method. Also, nothing wrong with partitions because one instance of Ubuntu is installed and was working fine until I tried to install video drivers (long story)...
I restarted my computer, because I tried to switch from Ubuntu to Windows. And then I saw this: SYSLINUX 3.85 (...) "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!".
I am trying install rhel 6 on my rhel 5. I have downloaded rhel6.0-20100715.2-server-i386-dvd1.iso (from redhat ftp site) and burned into dvd. After rebooting I pressed F12 and chose cd installation.
I get the following message on my screen. "ISOLINUX 3.86 2010-04-01 ETCO Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H.Peter Anvin et al No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot: "
After resetting a pc running lenny I get iptables errors at boot ("resource temporarily unavailable", "bad rule" etc). "setting up firewall" (Guarddog) is not followed by any errors and the firewall apparently operates ok.How can I restore my iptables to the default installation values?
Why will none of my mint distros boot from a usb stick on Windows Professional 7N? ]They will boot on other machines and I can run the mint 8/9 in Windows. The error on boot from usb is:" No default or UI configuration found!"
I have recently installed Debian alongside Vista on the same boot menu using the GRUB booting device. Only problem is, I couldn't boot Vista at all any more, so I removed my Debian installation from that drive. But the GRUB boot record persists, I don't have the Recovery disk to restore my old system, so I have to find a way to manually remove the GRUB track and put the old record in its place. I assume there was a copy made of it by the installation program, now my only problem is to find that file and copy the content back in place (at the address at the very beginning of the drive) all that by using Linux code, since that is all I have left. Being new to this game, I have no idea how to begin writing the right command for a job like this
I have restart the apache and varnish services. I have also rebooted the server but varnish will not listen on port 80 (or other non default ports). On port 6081 the application works fine. But how can i fix this ?
Source Varnish port 80
I can use the application with the following command
Code: Select allvarnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -a 0.0.0.0:80.
But why is this not working with the normal config file. Varnish are than listen to port 80. With every server reboot i need than to run this command. So i would like to use the config file.
I run Debian Squeeze on my Lenovo ThinkPad W500. Today I tried to use the expresscard slot on the device and was disappointed to find that it didn't work. A bit of digging revealed that the pciehp module was not loaded (but is required for hot-plugging these kinds of devices).Can anyone explain to me why this is the case? All other hardware on my system has had the module auto-loaded on boot-up, but why not pciehp for my expresscard slot?
I know that in an xterminal I can redefine the default colour with something like !!red URxvt.color1: rgb:cc/00/00 URxvt.color9: rgb:ef/29/29 Is it possible to do something similar in the Linux (framebuffer) console?
I installed it from the packages list and the eye candy has been good.
However, in trying to fix an error showing up in syslog
Feb 1 17:37:38 host ntop[30764]: **ERROR** Buffer too short @ dataFormat.c:144 (increase to at least 56) [230982 years, 187 days 7:107374]
I started looking at the configuration files; well attempted. It asks for a login. It isn't any user or root, but apparently is admin, but IO don't ever remember setting it.
Various web search suggests it is done at compile(downloaded compiled) /installation, but I have no recollection of entering any.
There is a Redhat/Centos wrinkle ntop -set-admin-passwd=password; but that puts out a lot of lines, then hangs and has no effect.
Note, despite message(old version of ntop), it is up todate in packages.
I've been working on my servers, one of them is Ubuntu and the other one is Debian (Newest), and both seams to have a problem with charset configuration.
They wont register ISO-8859-1, insted it says no value when i look at it with phpinfo() function. It's importen that i feel this is working.
i have created a wordpress user with a symbolic link from his home (/home/wordpress) to /usr/share/wordpress but when wordpress ftps to wordpress home dir it does not follow the sym-link. is there a way to set default ftp dir for the wordpress user to /usr/share/wordpress rather than /home/wordpress?
if you try to browse the web from the machine, or log in through a nomachine (nxclient/nxserver) session, it claims there is no internet conenction. You have to run System|Administration|Network and select the stored "Location" for our wired connection. There does not seem to be an option to make this (one and only) "Location" the default. If the machine is up and incoming connections are possible (samba & apache), surely outgoing connections should be working without extra fiddling?
The issue with nxserver (nomachine) becoming unavailable on a re-booted unattended machine (unless someone logs in AT THE MACHINE and runs System|Administration|Network) is causing problems for remote access.
after a reboot of my Lenny system, the default gateway will lost. Then i must try "networking restart" and the gatway will be set

So I was reading this thread on internet privacy and decided to 'upgrade' my system. I installed privoxy and tor and chained them from squid so it looks like this: iceweasel >> squid >> privoxy >> tor. All is working well except when I go to edit my privoxy default.action file I get a fatal error. I've got version 3.0.9-1 The original line in the newly installed default.action file. #+hide-referer{forge}
I edited it by simply removing the #. +hide-referer{forge} Then:su -c '/etc/init.d/privoxy force-reload'And I get this in the logfile.Sep 14 16:41:36.260 Privoxy(7f4fa64756e0) Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/default.action': first needed line (361) is invalid: +hide-referer{forge} I've even copy/pasted from the manual and to no avail.Have I been looking at to much text for the last two days?What am I missing?
I need to set up quotas so each user has a limit of 20GB (soft could be 15GB) on their homes.Is there a way to set up a default quota for all the users, or do i have to do this for the 345982374058 users in my system manually?would group quotas help? (i dont understand much of these type of quota)
I'm intending to replace my current router (486DX2 w/16MB running FREESCO which has been faithfully working 24/7 for well over a decade) with a debian box with a bit more grunt and newer features. I'm currently setting up my iptables ruleset and am after a bit of advice re the FORWARD policy. A few example rulesets I have found set the default policy to DROP and the have two lines for each port forward, one to allow the traffic and one to direct the incoming packets to the correct machine.
I'm thinking of setting the default policy to ACCEPT to cut down on typing as my default INPUT policy is DROP and unless there is a valid FORWARD rule for a particular port, the packets aren't going anywhere anyway. Or have I misunderstood something. My googling returned heaps of example scripts & not much intelligent commentary. Alternatively, what do you all use to configure & maintain your debian gateways; hand rolled iptables rules, or any toolset recommendations?
I installed Lenny on a computer and set up grub to boot windows by default with a timeout of 0 Is there a way to interrupt the boot process so I can boot linux? Or can I boot from a flash drive somehow? PS: nothing to do with topic, but I just found out that the top 24 supercomputers run linux , and more besides. That is way cool. check out [URL]..

The top row of keys on my notebook are currently assigned to various media functions (brightness, volume, play, stop, etc.) These keys are rarely used, and it would be better if they were assigned to the function keys (f1,f2,f3,...) by default, rather then using the fn key to access them. Locking the fn key down is not an option. What can I do?
