It would have made more sense if we could have connected directly to our ISP and been able to connect to the network (Internet). Before we can begin installing via the network, we must first provide the client with an address. In this case, the primary issue is how to boot via PXE. You’ll see why we chose to go with an unusual setup in the video below. There are numerous tutorials available online that walk you through the process of establishing a local repository or configuring a gateway on Linux. To use PXE, it must be included in the NIC’s firmware, which if configured properly in the BIOS, will generate the necessary boot images for the client. Most modern network cards and BIOSes support this feature, allowing the system to boot from a local area network just like a hard disk or CD. In 1999, Intel and SystemSoft introduced the Preboot eXecution Environment, which is abbreviated as PXE (pronounced “pixie”). Additionally, this article will discuss the best practices for configuring a PXE server to ensure a successful boot. This article will explore the various steps involved in booting Linux Desktop with PXE, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method. PXE provides a mechanism to boot a computer over a network, allowing the user to access a Linux Desktop environment without the need for a physical drive. You can find more details in the Multipass Documentation and get help from the Multipass forum.As the IT industry continues to evolve and technology grows more complex, the need to boot Linux Desktop using Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is becoming increasingly necessary. Since Multipass has limited commands it is easy to control Ubuntu instances. You can set a keyboard shortcut for the GUI to open a shell into the primary instance, the name of the primary instance, and more.įind out more about what you can do by using multipass help set. For example, to set the autostart login to false: $ multipass set =false The multipass set command sets the configuration. You can purge all deleted instances permanently: $ multipass purge Configuration You can delete instances: $ multipass delete shin-instance anther-instance # exit exit # connect again $ multipass shell shin-instance echo $PATH Cleaning up If the above method doesn’t work, then exit the instance and open a shell prompt again. If it is not in the path, reload the ~/.bashrc. You need to change the username accordingly. bashrc add the following at the end: export PATH="/Users/username/bin:$PATH" Open the shell prompt on the instance and let’s export the PATH in the ~/.bashrc: vi ~/.bashrc The Multipass terminal’s config file is ~/.bashrc. You can find the local directory under /Users/username.
