Hi,

I'm running the VM of opsidemo and I did the setup picking english as my default language and it is still in German when you PXE boot. What file do I download and where do I put it to make the PXE boot show in English? I believe it is in the repo shown in a few posts earlier but I am not sure. Thanks

To change the PXE language, edit the config files in /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/, or the directory where these files are stored. (this is from a CentOS install)
Edit the files like default.menu and install, and all files that have an 'append' rule in it.
add 'lang=en' somewhere in the append rule.

It becomes something like this:

Code: Alles auswählen

append initrd=miniroot.bz2 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 --no-log lang=en console=tty1 console=ttyS0 service=https://opsi.gcecad-service.nl:4447/rpc

I always remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' commands, so I can see if something is happening at all.
Maybe not the best way to set the PXE language, but this works for me.

Hi,

Thanks for the info that helped in the end but I had to first install the boot image file so my steps are below.

1. Figure out what Linux distro the Opsi VM is running by using the command lsb_release -a which showed it is Ubunto 14.04
2. Download and install the new bootimage file here http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... _amd64.deb
3. Once installed I add the lang=en to the files as you have suggested. No more errors and it's in English thanks.
