Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Core, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Ubuntu Kylin. For details of the changes applied since 14.04.2, please see the 14.04.3 change summary. These release notes for Ubuntu 14.04.3В (Trusty Tahr) provide an overview of the release and document the known issues with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and its flavors.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Ubuntu 13.10.

Your /etc/dhcp/nf might look like this assuming your subnet is 192.168.2.0 allow booting A range of other options are also available but are beyond the scope of this article. You also assign a fixed IP to the machine you want to boot with PXE (the client). You need to set up the DHCP server to offer /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 as a boot file as a minimum.

#UBUNTU 14.04.2 SET STATIC IP INSTALL#

sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server tftpd-hpa syslinux pxelinux nfs-kernel-server initramfs-tools.

sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server tftpd-hpa syslinux nfs-kernel-server initramfs-tools.

Server: An always-on system which will provide the neccesary files to allow the client to boot over the network

A DHCP server which is capable of supporting PXE clients, or a separate network segment where you can run a dedicated DHCP serverД¬lient: A diskless system that you wish to boot via a network connection.

A fast network connection between the client and the server.

Enough disk space on the server to hold the client filesystem.

It helps to have the client set up in its final configuration before you start.

At least one PXE-bootable system (the client).

An Ubuntu system with (preferably) nfs-kernel-server and tftpd server (the server).

#UBUNTU 14.04.2 SET STATIC IP HOW TO#

There are a lot of parallels to ThinClientHowto, diskless booting requires a DHCP server which a bootable PXE network card will query to get its configuration and location of the file to tftp from the server, after booting the PXE image the client will tftp and boot the kernel image(with args specified in the pxe config), those args will tell the kernel how to configure itself, and the path to mount the NFS share where its / directory is located. Oliver Grawert says :- you could have achieved this easier by following the thin client howto, remove the ltsp-client package from the chroot and install ubuntu-desktop (or whatever desktop you want) there, would save you a lot of configuration work ) It is different enough to have multiple machines mounting the same root filesystem as opposed to simply being a remote monitor and keyboard to warrant a separate how-to I think.

#UBUNTU 14.04.2 SET STATIC IP FULL#

This works better if you have full powered PC's to work with, and are working with a large number of clients that would require too much CPU and RAM to run all their applications on one server. Thin clients use some of the same principles but they also connect to a remote X session, which means everything runs on the remote server - all applications will consume the servers resources, such as RAM and CPU cycles.Дiskless Booting simply uses the remote server for storage and still runs all applications on the local client station. How is this different than ThinClientHowto?

The same goes for updates and many other operations.

#UBUNTU 14.04.2 SET STATIC IP PC#

Imagine my case I admin about 25 public workstations for a local library, if they want something changed across the board I can either go sit at each PC and spend X minutes on it, adding up to who knows how many hours, or I can simply make the change at any one of the 25 systems and have it affect every system equally. How is this different than ThinClientHowto?Дiskless booting is using a remote system or systems to store the kernel and the filesystem that will be used on other computer(s).
