Hi,

there seem to be multiple issues with the grml-terminalserver scripts in the 2017.05 release. I'm using the grml96-full_2017.05.iso image but the issues might also affect other versions.

  1. grml-terminalserver-config fails to determine current ip address and netmask because some functions in /etc/grml/sh-lib expect a deprecated ifconfig output format.
  2. grml-terminalserver fails to export the correct nfs shares (the netmask value is missing/empty, e.g. it tries to export /lib/live/mount/medium 192.168.1.0/(ro,...) )
  3. grml-terminalserver also fails to start the dhcp server.

After correcting 1. and 2. everything seems to work and I was able to boot a VM via PXE. I didn't investigate into 3. yet because I have a dedicated dhcp server.

Same problem here.

Changing...

#netGetNetmask()
#[...]
nm_=$( ifconfig "$iface_" | awk '/netmask /{ print $4; }' )
#[...]

#netGetIp()
#[...]
ip_=$( ifconfig "$iface_" | awk '/inet /{print $2;}' )
#[...]

in /etc/grml/sh-lib fixed it for me.

Okay, my "fix" is working in VirtualBox betreen two VMs (BIOS) but on our new hardware in the course room (physical machines) it is not working (UEFI and BIOS).

Otherwise we end up with arbitrary network device names which
aren't properly supported (yet).

See grml/grml#65

@karlh1 - thanks for your bug report!

I just pushed one bug fix that might be related as well: grml/grml-live@54f1911
I need to look into all the issues in more details yet.

@casualscripter hm, what exactly is failing with UEFI boot for you?

This should be fixed with the new version of grml-shlib, thanks for your feedback!
