  @Sebastian-Roth and anyone else who worked on this, great work on continually improving the client that some of us rely so heavily on!

  Ubuntu 1910 Desktop Under development 17-Jan-2020 First we’ll create the required directories: mkdir -p /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 Now we’ll mount the Ubuntu 19.10 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above. mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt/loop cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 umount /mnt/loop Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive. wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz cp ./netboot/vmlinuz.efi /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 cp ./netboot/initrd.lz /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry Set the following fields Menu Item: os.Ubuntu.Desktop.19.10 Description: Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 Parameters: kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/vmlinuz.efi initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/initrd.lz imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw boot || goto MENU Menu Show with: All Hosts That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

  It turns out that this was a problem with the Trusted Platform Module. Apparently it didn’t like the new O/S being installed on hardware it had already “signed”. Not being too schooled in how TPM works, I’m making an assumption here, but clearing the TPM after deployment fixed my bootup problem. This can be done in the BIOS, or by letting the system boot from the Hard Drive at the Fog Menu, then running tpm.msc and clearing it there.

  @george1421 @Junkhacker @Tom-Elliott I see what it does now. I actually tried that out. Basically, it copied the script from fog server and placed that into the target computer. Once the target computer powers up, it will run the script automatically. That actually helps. Thanks for your guys effort. I will close this issue then.
