I’ve just tried an Insider build from the Dev channel, Secure Boot was not required - though is supported by this hardware (Intel NUC). MS are saying that the requirement is actually a TPM - they’re saying ‘Secure Boot Capable’ because that’s more consumer-friendly than talking about TPMs.

The image type in FOG can be set to Windows 10, and I was able to capture and deploy

@Tom-Elliott just bumping this. Is there anything I can do to help? I have some experience building Linux kernels from a few years ago.

I don’t know whether this is relevant, but I’ve just noticed in my PHP error log the following error after I tried doing a System Compatability check with the Dell XPS:

PHP Warning:  ftp_mkdir(): Create directory operation failed. in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php on line 499', referer: http://11.211.55.5/fog/management/index.php?node=about&sub=kernel&file=aHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL0ZPR1Byb2plY3QvZm9zL3JlbGVhc2VzL2Rvd25sb2FkLzIwMjYwMzA2L2FybV9JbWFnZQ===&arch=arm64

I’m returning to this after a while. The Lenovo Neo I was trying to get working looks to be a lost cause for Linux support, so I’ve switched to a Dell XPS 9345. This boots and runs with Ubuntu 26.04. I have networking and a keyboard and it recognises the internal SSD so this looks to be a goer. The kernel it’s using is 7.0.0-22.qcom.x1e. How feasible is it to get something like this built for FOG?

@Tom-Elliott thanks for the quick response. No joy though.

I’ve been and tried an Ubuntu live iso with a 6.14 kernel from the Ubuntu Concept Snapdragon Elite branch (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/faq-ubuntu-25-04-on-snapdragon-x-elite/61016) and even that doesn’t boot - though it gets as far as telling me it can’t create a device tree. So I guess I’m just going to have to be patient while upstream gets this whole SoC working.

Resurrecting this topic. I now have myself a Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50q, which has a Snapdragon CPU. I’ve updated my FOG to the latest (1.5.10.1698) and updated my ARM kernel and inits to the cutting edge version (6.12.35 from Sep 19th 2025). I can boot to a FOG menu but when I choose the ‘Compatability’ option it gets this far and then reboots:

Looks as though the kernel just won’t boot. I have this machine now for as long as I need it and am prepared to put some effort in to help get this working. Any pointers? I have built linux kernels in the past, though not for 10 years or so.

@AUTH-IT-Center Hi thanks for the reply.

Yes I’ve read that link, my problem is that I’ve done the password migrations “backwards” - ie I’ve copied the passwords from the database to .fogsettings instead of the other way around as specified on that link.

I think I might have done something stupid…

I have a new server on which I have already installed FOG.
Today I wanted to transfer the database from my old server to the new server and update the version of FOG.

I thought I was being clever… before transferring the database and running the FOG installer, I edited /opt/fog/.fogsettings on my new server and inserted the passwords, copied from the management interface on the old server:

username='fogproject'
password='password from old server'

snmysqluser='fogmaster'
snmysqlpass='password from old server'

Then having run the installer it occurred to me, does the installer update all the necessary services to use these passwords, if FOG is already installed? Or have I broken something - and if so, how do I fix it?

@AUTH-IT-Center Thank you. I didn’t find that article but it has what I need.

Apologies if this has been covered before, I found a few similar topics but this is a ‘what if’ question about something I don’t quite understand.

I’m migrating to a new server which will eventually have the same IP and hostname as my current server, though it does not have those yet - it has a temporary hostname.

I’ve run through the FOG installer and when it asked for a hostname I gave it the hostname of my current server because it said it would use it for certificates. I’m not using HTTPS on my server.

My aim is that I can switch the old server off, change the IP and hostname of the new one to be the same as the old one, and all the FOG clients will be happy and not need any reconfiguring. Is this going to work?

@george1421 This is all very encouraging! I tried kernel debug level 7 but there was no additional information.
