works fine for me. have you cleared your browser cache?

I don’t have it set up to join the domain. There’s also been a few occasions where after the image is complete, the PC will reboot and revert to the image name. I’ll change it back to e.g. (HS-215-04), as listed on the Fog server, then it reboots again and reverts to the image name.

Now the million dollar question Junkhacker, is it worth setting up a GParted iso to boot into so that I can format drives automatically.

Or just keep a cd for it… 😛

Hi DoubleD,

I don’t know if there is a broken distro of Apache out there. When you run installfog.sh it runs apt-get to fetche all the bits it needs. It seems to be downloading an apache which does not have the mods enabled or are incomplete for some reason.

Maybe it will get fixed at some point, but at least we have a workaround…

Yes, all sorted 😉

Thanks for letting us know how to solve it!

I think it means exactly as the title states.

Multipartition = Multiple Partitions.
All Disk = All disks on the system.

BTW no firewall on the fogserver, I can ping both the host and server from eachother.

with undionly.kkpxe - I get a reboot no messages
with undionly.kpxe - I get a reboot no messages
with undionly.kpxe.INTEL - I get a fog menu. I did a host registration on and older PC and it worked, on the newer PC it doesn’t work.
with ipxe.kpxe I get a fog menu - same error as the .INTEL file
with ipxe.kkpxe I get a fog menu and again same error.

The error is DHCP/BOOTP: Reply not for us, op[2] xid[number changes] repeats this with different xid numbers then says:
IP-Config: Reopening network devices…
repeats again with different xid numbers.

Can confirm I edited the .fogsettings and Config.class.php files and the database then upgraded perfect fine, just editing the .fogsettings still wasn’t working hence changing the Config too.

This did work for the 760’s and 780’s as well. Thank you very much for the help Jbob, Junkhacker, and Tom

When you Create A New Image within the Image Management, set image type to Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable). This is my unattend.xml for Windows 7 Professional x86 and it does work with Dell Factory partition setup. What I did is registered the computer with the FOG server, booted the Dell factory install in win7, installed all the software I needed, put the unattend.xml in the C:\windows\system32\sysprep folder, syspreped, and started the image upload process.

Checking my server, I’m running vsftp version 3.0.2-6.

Here’s what my vsftp.conf file looks like:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=NO
tcp_wrappers=YES

The only other things I can think of are:
[LIST]
[]to make sure the vsftp service is enabled, not just running, so that when you reboot your server it starts automatically
[]make sure the username and password are correct, not only under the FOG settings of the web interface, but also under Storage Management and in the your …/fog/comons/config.php file
[LIST]
[]in the config.php file, make sure the TFTP and STORAGE FTP username and password (the password may be encrypted) are set to your values
[/LIST]
[]if your firewall is on, make the appropriate exceptions for vsftp, or you can disable it completely
[/LIST]
Hope that helps.

Hello Tom

thanks your “wondering” (and your work on/at fog) 🙂

Your are right: It’s hard to get rid off GPT. But that’s by intension, but
I’m lucky currently not to have to handle GPT-
I think i will use fog to deploy an “embedded” OS.
So the disks delivered are empty (i think all “00”), uses MBR.
But don’t (usually) have a BIOS compatible console.
So there is problem with the debug-option 🙂
No keyboard, No screen.
Deploying via fog would have been so elegant.

If i could give help i would like to help to find the reason while that big fog script fails to detect that the disk is empty.
I see it is looking on /proc/partition and asks sfdisk. All say: There is a “/dev/sda” (but no /dev/sda1)
I used a dd | hexdump to see that the first 32MB are really empty(=zero(0)).

A new feature request thread (i’ll place there):
Would it make sense the setup a syslogd so the fog-script could sent persistent log file entries the fog-server.
IIRC this are only some line of configuration in /etc and installing

Dear FOG-Community,
Dear Tom,

I have a big Problem with FOGService/FOGTray. We configured it depending on Service winmgmt and Spooler. Rolled out a testimage without syspreping it and it worked. Even as it didnt started automatically. After Syspreping the FOGService/FOGTray doesnt work anymore. No Hostnamechanger, no Printer attachment, no greenfog and i dont know why…

What did Sysprep do to the Services? Why does it worked before sysprep?

Hope you can help me.

Update:
All Services work except the HostNameChanger.
Log says: Index out of Array at FOG.HostNameChanger.changeHostName()

Greetings

Andy

At work we purchased approximately 140 of these. We eventually gave up on FOG and turned to WDS. If you want to save yourself lots of time and stress I would go this route. Good luck!

Hi Tom! I started with a clean installation so nothing is moved or copied from /images. I even set the permissions/ownership correct in /home/images but they are back to wrong settings each time I do an upload.

During an update (svn) the /images are recreated again. I have not checked lately if the /etc/export file is kept unchanged (it was correct now with references to /home/images).

Sammary: The ownership is changed to root:root each time I do an upload
