Hello,

There is no /opt/fog/service/common/etc/config.php file, I supposed you meant /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php 🙂

service FOGMulticastManager status does not work, only start|stop|restart, start fail at first, but stop work, then start work, and still no multicast working 😞

I forgot something else in the “What I have already done list” : ip igmp on all my HP switches, and no router between FOG server and any of my clients.

update after some more tests: ps aux | grep udp returns something when I run “gunzip -c “/images/anyimagename” | /usr/local/sbin/udp-sender --min-receivers 2 --portbase 9000 --interface myInterface --half-duplex” manually from command line then connect with debug mode 2 clients, but still nothing when I start a new multicast task from fog management webpage.

This section of the forums is for developers of Fog code looking for help developing. Please post in the Technical Help section with questions about how to use, setup, or reconfigure Fog. We’ll be glad to help you in there.

Wow, thanks afmrick! I’ll definitely be checking this out. I just discovered “webmin” today that’s going to help me to more simply manage all my fog servers and easily transfer files between systems, etc. So All knowledge today is certainly a HUGE help! Most appreciated!

Thanks for the link!

Im really glad there is someone to help me with this situation, Ive been trying to compile a kernel with my driver for the past week and cant accomplish it!.. everytime I go in the “make xconfig” i cant see my driver even though iv done almost everything to make sure it is in the directory
Im trying with the 3.4 now

In my setup, our domain is “domain.loc”

My Active Directory Defaults settings, under Other -> Fog Settings in the Web UI are:
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME: domain.loc
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_OU: [blank]
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER: domain\username
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: [FOGCrypted password]

Also, make sure the account you are using is a member of the domain group BuiltIn\Account Operators, is a member of Domain Admins, OR has been delegated rights to add, delete, and manage computer accounts in the default “Computers” container and any other container in which you want to create computer accounts. I think there is a 10 computer limit on normal accounts adding computers to the domain.

OK thank you!

You might be able to do this by creating a custom PXE boot menu option that loads the bootable CD/DVD image that came with your server. A bit beyond my scope, but people are booting to all kinds of things from the Fog boot menu these days. You’d want to boot the the setup utility, then create a image deployment task though. I don’t know how you can chain them together.

So you have a netgear router that is not capable of PXE options in it’s DHCP server? Have you checked if there is a firmware update that may provide this option?

If not, then you’ll have to setup the ProxyDHCP for Fog using the article on the wiki, [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server[/url]

You might have to compile your own kernel. I compiled one to work with a tablet with similar specs. See [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/compiling-a-custom-kernel-for-acer-iconia-tab-copied-from-old-forums.216/[/url]

Or you can message me and we’ll see if my kernel works for your hardware.

When these boot into Windows or other operating system, like the LiveCD of Ubuntu, are they able to get an IP address from DHCP? Can you release/renew without issue?

I thought all the Fog settings referred to an IP address and not the actual interface name. I know the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file has the IP address in it several places when referring to the website.

When you installed Fog, it asked if you wanted to setup Fog as your DHCP server, and it configures it properly if you say YES. But you said NO, and it prompted you with instructions on how to update your existing DHCP server to modify options 66 and 67 (windows) or next-server and filename (linux). You must have missed these helper notes.

I think all you need to do is update your dhcpd.conf with the next-server and filename options for the scope definition. See: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Modifying_existing_DHCP_server_to_work_with_FOG[/url]

Let me know if this helps. You may want to post your dhcpd.conf file (use code tags when posting to boards).

I’ve updated the WIKI article on using Fog + ProxyDHCP (LTSP and dnsmasq) with information on running across multiple subnets.

Well, I tried a couple different values on the vga= arguments, but nothing made any difference until I reverted to the v3.1-rc8 Core Kernel (I’ve never been able to get the v3.2.4 kernel to install). The video resolution is now back to normal during imaging.

Hi everyone, just an update that these steps do NOT work for Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop x86. Everything works great up to a point. I find everything load until the Ubuntu background picture, but it never completes the loading process. If anyone has any suggestions, I can definitely try them out. I took the same steps and used Ubuntu 8.04.4 Desktop x86 and it worked just fine.

Ok. Thanks Wolfer
