I have a question. My ltsp setup was working just fine, but today when i boot my clients am getting "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout", and on others "NBP filesize is 0 Bytes" "PXE-E18: server response timeout", can someone help please?
14:12
I have looked at the status of dnsmasq, it hands ot the ips but it stopes at DHCP(Ack), then the client requests again and it fails to boot.

eu^ip-209-124-24: so none of the client works? Can you send a screenshot of the client?
15:56
<yopla>
Hello there, long time not been here. I still use LTSP for years now. Time goes fast. Have you ever consider boot kernels and initrd via http ? It boost client boot time. Full boot : 2m02s with tftp vs 1m17s with http.
15:57
<alkisg>
Hi yopla , that requires one line in dnsmasq; the user can put that in a local.conf file
15:58
<yopla>
OK, thought it was ltsp.ipxe role. Which line should I use then ?
15:59
<alkisg>
It's listed in the "boot via http" discussion or issue or pull request, please have a look at github
15:59
It's certainly also doable via ltsp.ipxe, but if your bios supports it, you can completely avoid tftp
16:02
I've been postponing the tasks that require an http server for the case when I have plenty of free time and decide to implement a custom http server that would dynamically create/fetch all the required stuff, from ltsp.ipxe to kernel/initrd to ltsp.conf
16:11
<yopla>
OK thank you ! I'll have a look in discussions

<eu^ip-209-124-24> "I have looked at the status of..." <- Could there be another DHCP server in your network or router? It sounds like the clients are getting a DHCP offer from another address, perhaps some old router/switch was plugged somewhere
17:50
Is it normal for ltsp clients to request twice ?

Yes, once for ipxe and once by ipconfig or dhclient

Thanks, so before the kernel it should not request twice ;) assuming the link stays up. Btw I have never seen the pxe recover If the link goed down... was there in ipxe something like ipv4 link down start over loop?

No idea, I haven't tested with link up/down events while ipxe loads the kernel, it's just for a few seconds anyway...

this channel has Matrix clients users and IRC users. And then there's discussions open on github page

I need to go now, I hope you find out the issue tomorrow.

eu^ip-209-124-24: you're now connected over IRC, so one way is to use a site:
19:57
!photo
19:57
<ltspbot>
I do not know about 'photo', but I do know about these similar topics: 'paste'
19:57
<alkisg>
!screenshot
19:57
<ltspbot>
screenshot: to upload a screenshot use a site like https://prnt.sc/ or https://snag.gy/ and then paste the URL here
19:57
<alkisg>
eu^ip-209-124-24: while if you connect over the matrix protocol, you can copy/paste images directly, see https://ltsp.org/guides/chat-room/

eu^ip-209-124-24: you're using dnsmasq wrong, you have two dhcp servers on the same network

21:53
<alkisg>
Your main dhcp server gave .172 to the client, but dnsmasq is configured to give IPs up to .169
21:53
Run this to reset the dnsmasq settings: sudo ltsp dnsmasq
21:53
This will use the "proxydhcp" method in your main network, so that the main dhcp server gives the IPs, and dnsmasq gives the boot filename

Alright thanks! I am trying that now.
22:29
alkisg, you said am using dnsmasq wrong, which is the other dhcp server?
22:47
alkisg i dont want it to use a proxydhcp so i have disabled that. I have given the dnsmasq a range of the ip i want, and restarted it but the same thing happens. sending a screenshot shortly.
22:50
alkisg I gave it the ip range i wanted but when i run the comads you sent above i get this, which is not making sense to me.

I have changes the dhcp range in the this file /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-dnsmasq.conf but when i run the command above the ip range does not coresspond to what i have just given it.
