Ubuntu 16.04 Network Manager DHCP and PXE setup. Can't find `dnsmasq.conf`

I'm about to upgrade my (seperate computer) firewall (Going from IPCop to IPFire). I'd like to use PXE to boot the upgrade on the firewall.



I depend on the firewall system for DHCP, so when it's down for reinstallation, nobody will get an IP address.



I think I know the magic to add to dnsmasq.conf to cause it to serve DHCP, but, I don't see /etc/dnsmasq.conf. Using locate says: 



$ locate dnsmasq.conf

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf

/snap/core/5548/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf

/snap/core/5662/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf

/snap/core/5742/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf

/usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example


This is probably due to my use of Network Manager.



I plan to use dhcpd-hpa to serve the PXE stuff. Are there landmines?

  • @JackyChan dnsmasq is already installed as part of the dnsmasq-base package. It just seems to be configured strangely due to NetworkManager,

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
