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 ha

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_

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

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 circumst

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 toget

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 LT

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. So I'm marking it invalid for LTSP and I'm putting tft

Thanks a lot Alkis for your suggestions. The compiz proved to be the key trick. Let me explain what finally needed to be done to get my two clients running, for posterity. Client A is a desktop with a A7V8X-MX motherboard, AMD Athlon XP, circa 2003. Client B is a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop with

Some ideas why logging in could fail: * If for a second it says "server not responding, restarting..", then it might be an ssh-keys problem, which you normally solve with sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys && sudo ltsp-update-image. * If you do see that "not responding" message, and updating the ssh key

Update on the bug: it's still not working, on either of my clients, so I'm running 9.04, the last version that worked out-of-the-box. It boots and gives a login screen, but logging in fails, and the server logs show "nbd_server: Disconnect request received" which google tends to link to nbd bugs, f

Thanks so much Inno for your suggestion. I get much further with that. I definitely think that ltsp-server-standalone should configure that correctly. Unfortunately the 9.04 options are completely different and I blew away my 9.10 install with the 10.04 one, perhaps too optimistically. And your
