Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I've configured my WAPT server to distribute the OS via PXE. Since
the TFTP service is included, I didn't need to configure it.
When I boot a PC via PXE, I get the following error:

Hi juniormateus,

First version of wapt, server, etc. (see forum rules above)
For wads, please add dhcp type and configuration (uefi, legacy, etc.)
Can you reproduce this error on another computer or on virtualbox?
There was a bug on the filesize attribute that has been fixed in the last version (there was an extra NULL character at the end of the filesize, most tftp client don't care, but some get buggy with that.
Could you please try with the bugfix release of today wapt-2.2.1.11932-6522dccb to see if you can reproduce this issue just to be sure that it isn't a bug related to weird filesize interpretation?

Cheers,

Denis

We can try to deactivate the wapt tftp to see if with the official debian tftp it is better

Code: Select all

systemctl stop wapttftpserver
apt-get install tftpd-hpa
in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa add:

Code: Select all

  TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
  TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/www/wads/pxe
  TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
  TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"
and run:

Code: Select all

systemctl start tftpd-hpa
