I have checked several tutorial sites, to no avail. I can't seem to get Winpe 3.0 to boot over tftpd/pxe.Has anyone successful done this using Ubuntu 9.10?, or am I just wasting my time trying.
View 4 RepliesI have been trying to accomplish this feat for about a week now, and I always seem to get a boot up error.
Here is how I call WinPe from my default file
Code:
below files is got from the winpe iso.

When I try to pxe boot a Sun X4100 (which actually has a RHEL OS on it right now) I get the message TFTP open timeout. All traffic is allowed for port 69 udp in both directions. I do get a dhcp address. I see that both on the server and the client it gets an IP. After that I get this message in the logs:

I have 4GB of memory but i just found that if i enable Software/Hardware remapping in the bios the bios will then show all 4GB usable from 2.5GB but then Ubuntu refuses to boot up saying a kmiser type message but it will if i disable those 2 options. is there any way to fix it apart from reinstalling ubuntu?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a TFTP server and followed these instructions in setting up TFTP-HPA.
[URL]
I pretty much followed every step but commented out these two lines from the /etc/xinet.d/tftp.
# only_from = 172.31.0.240/28
# interface = 172.31.0.252
Do we really need the lines if I am allowing any machine to connect? And I have only 1 network card. This is acting as a dedicated TFTP server.I ask as I get an error on the get and put commands as below:
tftp> get xxx.txt
tftp: error received from server <File not found>
tftp: aborting
However although it gives an error it DOES GET the file.The put command however does NOT put the file. I have nobody / nogroup setup for the directory permissions as well.
tftp> put .vimrc
tftp: error received from server <File not found>
tftp: aborting
In Jaunty (9.04) I've setup a small (eleven-terminal) ltsp network at the local school. It handled around 6600 working hours with ease.
Now I've upgrade the server to Karmic Koala (9.10) and it just stopped working.
1) The clients have PXE NICs
2) They get the proper IPs from the DHCP server and respond appropriately to changes in the DHCP configuration files.
3) DHCP server also points the clients to
filename=/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
4) When the clients try to download the pxelinux.0 over tftp they just timeout
5) /etc/inetd.conf has an entry like
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
6) The file /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 exists on the server
I'm lost at all these configuration files and protocols.
I have it working fine when tftp and dhcp are installed on the same server but when trying to forward to a remote tftp it does not work. Dnsmasq insist on giving its local ip.I have added to config:dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,pxetest2,192.168.0.130and I tried with and without the original hcp-boot=/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0Not much on this topic on the google nor on the dnsmasq homepage.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to install Ubuntu LTSP on top of an already existing system. However, I want to use a different DHCP and TFTP server. Do I simply just install 'ltsp-server-standalone' with apt and run 'sudo ltsp-build-client', stop the DHCP and TFTP server and stop them from starting automatically? Would I then just copy over the pxelinux.cfg/default file from /var/lib/tftpboot along with the initrd.img and vmlinuz images to the TFTP server?
Edit: Do I need to actually copy the whole /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp directory over to the TFTP server?

You are running tftpd as an on demand server i.e. it is only fired up when it is needed. Services run by xinetd are always run on demand. Have you actually tested if tftp on another system can access your PC i.e.
Code:
tftp your_pc_ip_address
I've tried to configure DRBL server to use Clonezilla and that is required me to setup DHCP, TFTP servers.But I've gotten a lot of errors from them - so please look at my attachments from /var/log/messages and dhcpd.conf - help me to find out what are wrong with them.

I am fairly new to ubuntu server, I want to setup a tftp server to mount a new kernel in a DaVinci platform. I was following the guide in this page [URL]..docs/linux_tftp, but accidentally I remove the xinetd.conf file. So I think that maybe removing and reinstalling xinetd the problem will be solved, but instead of that I can't completely remove xinetd and the follow message is print in the terminal
Removing xinetd ...
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found.
dpkg: error processing xinetd (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100
Errors were encountered while processing:
xinetd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
with that problem I can't start the service or stop it, I am blocked in the configuration of tftp server.
I am downloading some files via tftp from the server (call it my server) and I need the server to be case insensitive to the file names requested. That is If I request "SoMe.TTL" and the actual file name is "some.ttl" it should send "some.ttl" back! Right now it is case sensitive and is a pain in the but because some windows clients upload files to that directory and the names can have any case. Furthermore, the file request mechanism must allow the user to input the required file name, hence the user can write using any case. Can the tftp-server solve cases by it's own? How about dnsmasq's internal tftp server? Ok, maybe I wasn't explicit above:
I need to make the fedora tftpd-server Case Insensitive!
I seem to be have problems with my boot image loading. I put memdisk in the tftpboot folder, I see at least it is trying to load the boot image. When I DO NOT put the append keeppxe I get the error "failed to load udp stack". If I do put append keeppxe I get "TFTP prefix". The boot images does not load either way. What else can I try?. The boot images is 6 megs and is a Dos based menu system.
below is a copy of the menu.

Since I upgrade our cluster from the FC14 to the FC15 I have a bad problem with the tftpd server. I have some thinstations booting over the network after the update the boot failed with the message "TFTP open timeout". I use an "ip alias" (cluster adress) for the tftp server (next-server in the dhcp), when I use the real ip I have no problem. I found some information about a "Service Guard environment" and an option to enable it:
"This option is required for some tftp clients. These clients reject the tftp reply received from a different IP address than the one requested when the server?s interface is configured with an alias IP address." I do not see an option like that in the tftpd server of the FC15.
I have this crazy idea to map an em dash to AltGr+Dash, replacing the yen symbol currently produced by that key combination. Is there a way to do that?
Unless, of course, there is another way to produce an em dash with the US International keyboard? Not including OpenOffice's autocorrect feature.
I got this Dell Studio and the f keys are kind of odd.. first of all you have to press fn to even use them.. because theyve defaulted them to be things like: fast forward.. mute.. stuff like that.. and what makes it worse is f2 is a button that disables wifi.. so when i do alt-f2 out of habit it cuts my wifi off.. so i have to do fn-alt-f2 which just gets old.. my question is, what is the raw command for the RUN ? I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

I have a laptop which has no function keys (F1-F12), but does have a row of arbitrary keys at the top (volume control, multimedia, etc.). I've been able to remap these keys using xmodmap (e.g. 'keycode 000 = F1 NoSymbol F1'). However, this means that I lose the original function.Is there a way (using xmodmap or otherwise) to set these keys to produce a different keysym (e.g. XF86AudioRaiseVolume) only when the Super* key is pressed?* I would have preferred Fn, but it doesn't show up in xev so I'm guessing that's not possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm moving in with my girlfriend and we want to connect our Linux Boxes via nfs. One problem: on my computer, I am user id 1001 and she is 1002, and on her computer, she is 1001 and I am 1002.
When mounting a filesystem via nfs, is it possible to remap users, so that 1001 is treated as 1002 on the remote machine and vice versa? If so, which nfs parameters do I need when mounting?
Is there a way to easily make the command key function as the control key on a macbook pro in these modern times of 2011? I tried one of the command-line based tutorials and couldn't get it to work. Seeing as I have little idea as to what I was doing, I'm going to need a gui. But come Natty, nothing appears to be working. I would think that this is a common question, so I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking.

I planned to map AltGr + to '}' and AltGr + to '{'. However, nothing really changes. I have some other stuff in my .Xmodmap so I know that it gets loaded allright. Here's what I have so far:

keycode 49 = asciicircum onehalf
keycode 66 = F10

I want the system to see a certain keyboard key as if it were another key. To put an example, suppose I want each time I type 'e' the system sees 't'. Can this be done?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got my hands on an old RollerMouse from work. [URL] It's pretty neat, however I think it would be killer if I could remap the roller (which is just a mouse) to function like a two-way scroll-wheel, and maybe the buttons as special shortcuts. Does anyone know if this can be done? I figured it's not a standard part of anything, so I'll at least have to make some script or changes to a driver, but I have no idea where to start..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to remap the Capslock key to a Shift key. The reason being is the UK keyboard has a very large Caps Lock and a alpha size shift.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless keyboard with touchpad However the position of the mouse buttons is very unconfortable and so I would like to remap the mouse button to some kes on the keyboard.
I would like to use the media keys which are present on the keyboard. They are useless to me since most of the programs that I use have their own keyboard shortcuts for controls such as play, stop etc.
I mapped the keys using xev, and for instance I found that the "play" key mapped to keycode 172
by trying someting like
xmodmap -e "keycode 172 = Pointer_Button1"
nothing happens.
I have slackware 13.37-64 bit with xfce. I have a "microsoft wired keyboard 600" keyboard and want to remap it to use the right win key as ctrl. With xev i see that the keycode for the specific win key is 134.
Then i run:

But nothing changes. Even if i manually configure the .Xmodmap file in my /home i see no change at all.
I am currently using xmodmap for remapping keys like Caps Lock on my keyboard.However, my keyboard has a bunch of keys on the top that are rarely used (Multimedia keyboard with buttons like Internet, Music, Next song, Mute etc)I want to remap these keys to specific commands (Not keys).
For example: Pressing the Internet button should fire up my Firefox (/usr/bin/firefox)(which happens only in Windows for me)Also I need to map a specific button to xkill.
I have a custom Ubuntu distro that run both from a CD and PXE boot. The problem I have is that I need to boot in an environment that has to be routed through a router that can't forward NFS (the protocol doesn't use a standard port) I found that the Ubuntu based Clonezilla Live CD has a option like "fetch tftp://server/folder/filesystem.squashfs" I can borrow the kernel and initrd and it works, but how do I add this feature myself? Is there a package I need to install or a initrd option I need to add?
