16:26.35undertakingyouMorning everybody. Having some troubles with getting a pxe server to work right on ubuntu. I have tftpd-hpa installed, and the pxelinux.0 placed in /srv/tftp. I have /etc/inetd.conf with a tftp line that points to that dir.
16:26.44undertakingyoubut I get timeouts on the pxe boot.
16:27.18undertakingyouand when I just try to actually tftp to it, I can connect, but I get timeouts when I try to get my pxelinux.0.
16:27.23undertakingyouAny pointers?
16:27.34herlodon't try to get the pxelinux.0 ?
16:28.30undertakingyouWhat should I try to get? I can't put anything either.
16:28.40herlodo you have a pxelinux.cfg/vmlinuz  or similar?
16:28.48undertakingyouyes
16:29.01herloput something in /var/lib/tftpboot doesn't matter what, and use tftp to try ot get it
16:29.17herloif you can't it's likely a misconfigured tftp server...
16:29.36herlobtw, tftp and pxe can be really annoying
16:30.09undertakingyouso, here is something interesting. /src/tftp/pxelinux.cfg dir only has a file called default.
16:30.30herloright
16:30.39herlothat's all it needs to have
16:30.50herlothe default file is actually what the tftp server downloads first
16:31.13herloneeds to find the good references from H Peter Anvin on pxelinux/syslinux/isolinux
16:31.55undertakingyoutouch /srv/tftp/test tftp>get test
16:31.56undertakingyoutimeout
16:32.26herlookay, so you moved the tftp data?
16:32.43undertakingyouyes.
16:32.49herlodoes your tftp config file look like this? http://fpaste.org/paste/9055
16:33.07herloof course with /srv/tftp instead of /var/lib/tftpboot
16:33.27undertakingyouI don't have /etc/xinetd.d directory.
16:33.38undertakingyouI just have inetd.d and inetd.conf
16:33.45undertakingyouAll the config is in inetd.conf
16:34.15herloright
16:34.15undertakingyouthe line in inetd.conf looks like: tftp           dgram   udp     wait    root  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /srv/tftp
16:34.37herlowhy do you have in.tftpd twice?
16:34.57undertakingyouthat is the default line.
16:35.20herlohttp://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
16:37.00undertakingyouwhen I take out one of the /usr/sbin/in.tftpd's I still timeout
16:39.00herloyeah, didn't figure it'd change
16:39.06Yorokobiundertakingyou, has inetd been restarted since you added the tftp line?
16:39.11herloprobably ought to read the link I gave ya...
16:39.22herloYorokobi: good call...
16:39.42YorokobiIt would explain the timing out
16:41.07undertakingyouSo to restart inetd would be: # /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart correct?
16:42.19undertakingyouAlso, If I change to inetd.d/tftp and have a file like the one that you suggested herlo, do I need to do anything to inetd.conf?
16:42.52herloundertakingyou: well, I'm showing you how I configure it
16:43.00herlopoints out that this is on Fedora, not Ubuntu
16:43.30undertakingyouthat is ok. Some things cross. On fedora what does your xinetd.conf look like?
16:43.37herloI also think it's odd that Ubuntu still uses the old inetd configuration, when a much more secure way is available...
16:44.12herloundertakingyou: http://fpaste.org/paste/9058
16:46.38undertakingyouhmmm . . . you include the dir.
16:46.57undertakingyouMy man pages say that the the inetd.d dir is automatically looked at.
16:47.19undertakingyouDo you think it is ok that it is udp? Would it work better if it was tcp?
16:47.39herlodunno
16:48.05herlothinks the issue isn't with the config files as much as the config needs to be exactly correct.
16:50.41undertakingyouInteresting devel.
16:51.10undertakingyouhttp://fpaste.org/paste/9061
16:51.25herlolooks
16:51.26undertakingyouSo I ran inetd in debug mode. That is the output.
16:52.22herlothat doesn't help me at all
16:54.24Yorokobiundertakingyou, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404760
16:54.58undertakingyouYorokobi: just looked at that.
16:55.04undertakingyouAnd the fix works.
16:55.08undertakingyouSilly thing.
16:55.20undertakingyouI can now get my test.
16:55.26undertakingyousees if the boot works.
16:56.42undertakingyouWell, at least now I get a file not found
16:56.56herloyep
16:57.01herloyou are getting somewhere
16:59.02undertakingyouso can ftp not follow symlinks?
16:59.36herloI don't know, never tried.  Why would you want it to do that?
17:01.16undertakingyouIt is the way it was on the CD. I just made it the same.
17:01.40undertakingyouyep, can't follow symlinks
17:01.43herlooh, yeah, it's that recurring link ubuntu has on it's cd

22:55.25mheathI feel stupid now for not trying evolution sooner. I just dropped thunderbird in favor of evolution, with evolution the clear winner.
22:58.47Sir_BrizzI've been using Thunderbird for years
23:09.54fizzdoesn't like evolution.
23:40.51mheathI kept running into all kinds of problmes with Thunderbird
23:41.11mheathThe UI isn't designed well; on my netbooks small screens, half the configuration dialogs didn't fit on the screen, making it awkard to click OK to close them.
23:41.18mheathAnd it was just more akward to configure
23:41.40mheathTo be fair, some of my gripes are with the addons for it
23:41.47mheathEnigmail, and Lightning.
23:42.03maquisexchange integration with lightning sucks
23:42.22mheathmaquis: I just use a personal calendar
23:42.33mheathWell, I have it syncing to my google calendar account.
23:42.45maquismheath: i'm betting that plays better than exchange
23:42.56mheathOn a related note, in sunbird with the google calnear provider, when adding a "Google Calendar" calendar acount, it wanted a URL....What in the world was it asking for?
23:43.07mheath*sunbird/lightning
23:43.27mheathIn evolution and everything else when adding a google calendar account, it just wanted my google login username.
