[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory

Looking into it, in Karmic and before, tftpd was started with:
OPTIONS=-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS
And now it runs with:
TFTP_OPTIONS=
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec ${DAEMON} -- --listen --user
${TFTP_USERNAME} --address ${TFTP_ADDRESS} ${TFTP_OPTIONS} ${TFTP_DIRECTORY}
So it lacks the -s (or --secure) by default.

[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
I do not changed the directory from /srv/tftp to /var/lib/tftpboot. I only added the --secure option and checked the content and permissions of the new directory (they were all ok). Maybe, the two directory are equals after the upgrade and the old /var/lib/tftpboot can be deleted but I have not do that. -- pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tftp-hpa in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
Upgraded server from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS on 8/21/2010. Server was running LTSP with 8.04. Same issue with clients not able to access tftp directory. The fix suggested by Inno to change the directory and add --secure worked (THANK YOU!): # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa TFTP_USERNAME=tftp #TFTP_DIRECTORY=/srv/tftp TFTP_DIRECTORY=/var/lib/tftpboot TFTP_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:69 #TFTP_OPTIONS= TFTP_OPTIONS=--secure Changed the two lines and issued sudo ltsp-update-kernels plus sudo restart tftpd-hpa. Since it just happened, I would consider it still a bug in the upgrade process for systems with LTSP. -- pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tftp-hpa in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
tftpd-hpa installs by default with /var/lib/tftpd-hpa as its directory, but that behavior can be changed by a debconf preseeded value. I can't see any issue in tftpd-hpa itself... Alkis, could you explain in more details ? Ccing strgraber, since he worked on making LTSP and tftpd-hpa work together during the Lucid cycle... ** Changed in: tftp-hpa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: tftp-hpa (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tftp-hpa in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
I did not see the issue myself, but the reporter and another person (comments #1 and #2) say that for them, /etc/default/tftpd-hpa contained /srv/tftp instead of the expected /var/lib/tftpboot, and that caused the message forbidden directory to be displayed. I don't know under which circumstances that happens, so I cannot provide any feedback - it's up to the reporter to provide any details necessary. Maybe on same cases the debian/tftpd-hpa.templates file isn't used? There are also other problems in this bug report (compiz, sound etc) but I think that the major one that's also reflected in the title is related to tftpd-hpa, that's why I thought it should be moved here. -- pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tftp-hpa in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
I explain better. At work I have a VM with ubuntu 9.10 that is an upgraded from a 9.04. With 9.04 i had 2 working clients that do not work with 9.10 (they were old and have been replaced now). One client was not able to boot and the other had sound problems. Then, for testing purpose, i tried at home a copy of the same VM after upgrading to 10.04. The result was that no clients (old and newer) were able to boot and I had the forbidden directory error. Searching for the cause, I found the mentioned /etc/default/tftpd-hpa where i see the path to /srv/tftp. In my 9.10 VM (still in use), that folder do not exist and in my 10.04 test VM, I have both /srv/tftp and /var/lib/tftpboot. But that is not the cause of the forbidden directory error in my case. I wanted tell about the changed folder because that was not obvious to me (I still have /var/lib/tftpboot) and knowing that, maybe can help... I do not know the situation on a fresh (not upgraded) 10.04 installation. How I had say, the cause of my problem was the mentioned TFTP_OPTIONS=--secure that was missing in my 10.04 after the upgrade. After adding that option, the forbidden directory error had gone and my (newer) clients boot with 10.04 For the old amd K6-2 not booting...I found that upgrading to 64Mb of ram, make it able to boot again (compiz is automatically disabled if it can't be run). The other (an old notebook) now have not the sound problems that I had with 9.10 -- pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tftp-hpa in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: Forbidden directory
Hi Alkis-- I installed from the desktop CD, not the alternate, and tftpd set up for /srv. I don't know what the contract is between the various Ubuntu services like tftp and the many (Ubuntu and custom) applications that might use them. I assumed that it would be the responsibility of the LTSP packages to verify the configuration of any services such as tftp that they need and re-configure if necessary. Hence I assumed it was a bug in LTSP. Similarly, I don't know if compiz is supposed to function with a wide range of remote clients of possibly limited hardware. So I'd also file that one under LTSP, myself. Sound...it's working pretty well on my desktops. Haven't looked into the ltsp client problem yet! So it's not that I don't try to file separate bug reports...it's just not always easy to figure out what package is at fault! :) --Tim On 07/10/2010 01:39 AM, Alkis Georgopoulos wrote: As far as I know, this bug consists of three separate bugs, one in tftpd-hpa (==when installing from the alternate CD tftpd-hpa uses /srv while when installing from the desktop CD it uses /var/lib/tftpboot), one in compiz, and a sound problem.
