I haven't run Ubuntu or Debian in years and was afraid I might have to setup a machine just to address Jason's problem.
I do test installs like this using a GRUB2 flash drive.jrb wrote:I haven't run Ubuntu or Debian in years and was afraid I might have to setup a machine just to address Jason's problem.
Wow! Looks very cool. I'll give it a go this evening.rcrsn51 wrote:I do test installs like this using a GRUB2 flash drive.

i'll try to post a screenshot... .
I presume you clicked on "Windows Network" in the Network Browser and didn't see Pupserver?
Perhaps I have made a mistake in naming the share usr=root passwd=woofwoof. Can't imagine why I left that space in the middle.Here's what to try:
Go to /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf which contains:Change the share name to usr=root_passwd=woofwoof or anything else that doesn't have a space in it and save. Then open a terminal window and typeCode: Select all
# Share [usr=root passwd=woofwoof]
Then go back to Ubuntu or Debian, refresh or restart the Network browser and see if you can connect to Pupserver.Code: Select all
samba restart
Best of Luck, J
Code: Select all
usr=root passwd=woofwoof
Code: Select all
root
Code: Select all
samba restart
Code: Select all
killall <something> unable to kill pid <somenumbers>
Code: Select all
no server found
Hi greengeek, I haven't used PS435 in a while, my old P2 fileserver diedgreengeek wrote:Any thoughts?
Hi jrb - thanks for trying that. I will give the other iso a trial. (I previously found that the gcmartin method would not boot one particular laptop I have, whereas the inbuilt netboot server in 435 did manage it, so I will try it again with the other iso and see if the result is the same).jrb wrote: The TNG version of Pupserver gave me the same problem that you describe, PXE boots won't connect, wierd.
Let me know about that. I've lost all my Pupserver and PXE development files in a harddrive meltdown (I had too much old junk anywaygreengeek wrote:Hi jrb - thanks for trying that.

Using the TNG version I have the same problem, but I just installed dnsmasq-2.55-1-i486-0.1.pet and the problem went away.greengeek wrote:PupServer435TNG already has a network entry for a netboot server, so I did not add any pets, I just added the vmlinuz and initrd to the /root/tftpboot folder and it succeeded in PXEbooting both the Aspire netbook and the G731 laptop. However, neither would connect to the internet until after the PupServer was shut down and I reran the "auto dhcp" wizard.
