Adding a comment:

Currently we are using false nodes to change the multicast tasks. I mean

To make multicast tasks on desired vlan we are creating a second master node to the location’s storage group, with nic an ip assigned on the vlan that we want to do the task and with false user/password to avoid a redundant synchronization.

By the moment, this solution is working with version 1.5.6 of Master and Nodes.

The node must be precedent on alphabetic order to the real node.

@Rivybeast @Raymond-Bell Thanks for testing and letting me know! I will work on fixing the other reports and merge this into dev-branch in the next weeks.

Thank you. yes, you are right the problem is NOT the “//” but SPT on the switch that caused “udhcpc failed”. the solution is posted here:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12248/udhcpc-failed/4

Tested imaging with a dumb switch, and everything worked.

@faresalandlos Yes right, the filesize shown as zero doesn’t cause any problem. You can still deploy the image and the image files are not gone.

The information is located and updated in the database.

@fractal13 Nice to see you around! Hope things are going well for you.

Thanks for the hint on the downloads page. Depending on the tools you use to download you get a different filename. Just click the download link in Firefox and you end up with a file called fogproject-1.5.7.tar.gz. Use wget and you have 1.5.7.tar.gz…

@Quazz Thanks heaps for digging into this even more. I guess it will be very hard to actually track down when and how this was introduced.

This problem is rare enough on its own already (personally haven’t come across it at all)

I would have said so myself a day or two ago. But then I even ran into the same issues when debugging a different partition layout problem for another user in my VM test setup (VirtualBox).

@jmeyer Sorry for the late reply. Couldn’t get to this any earlier. Is this still an issue for you? I have had a look at the code but can’t make sense of this yet. I suppose we’d need the start of the output - the first “Attempting to check in” output line to understand this.

But looking through it I have a feeling that maybe one of the settings is wrong in your setup. Please connect to the database and run the following query:

shell> mysql -u root -p Password: ... mysql> use fog; ... mysql> SELECT * FROM globalSettings WHERE globalSettings.settingKey IN ('FOG_DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'FOG_HOST_LOOKUP', 'FOG_MEMORY_LIMIT', 'FOG_REAUTH_ON_DELETE', 'FOG_REAUTH_ON_EXPORT', 'FOG_TZ_INFO', 'FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN'); ...

Get the full output and post here (as text or picture).

@Tom-Elliott Happy to help ! 😉

@Sebastian-Roth
I make new install of Fog under Debian.
I was using Ubuntu years ago so it’s old install (3 years old).

I have been testing Fog version since years with Tom.
And as i work with VM, i can revert change easily.

In a remote session we figured out that the database schema version was kind of oddly set. Still not sure why that was. Fixed that and applied the last couple of schema changes. That fixed a couple of odd issues including the Storage Node setting changes that can be done now again.

@Tom-Elliott
Strange. What’s even weirder is it started working once I entered into a forum thread… Now it’s working fine. LOL!

For what it’s worth, I’m running Ubuntu 19 and the Chrome Browser…

I’m OK with it since it’s working now. Can’t explain it though! Ha!

Thanks Tom!

@austinjt01 Ok that is a great starting point. I’ll again refer you to my tutorial: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11126/using-fog-postinstall-scripts-for-windows-driver-injection-2017-ed

Look at the fog.custominstall script. Start with that script and then in this section add your code:

echo "Done" debugPause . ${postdownpath}fog.copydrivers # . ${postdownpath}fog.updateunattend umount /ntfs

Remove the call to the fog.copydrivers and fog.updateunattended and insert your code. At this point in the code /ntfs has been mounted onto the windows (C: drive) partition, wherever it may be. The script takes into account nvme vs sata as well as partitions being in different order or locations.

@EduardoTSeoane Sorry for the late reply. This is fixed in dev-branch already. Thanks @Fernando-Gietz

@Tom-Elliott I try the fix and its ok. Thanks for your works

Fixed in dev-branch.

@Quazz I´m sorry, I was sick for a long time. Now this day is my first day. I will test it if I have time. But I´m busy with an other project. I hope I can test it next week. Please don´t close this thread. Thanks

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks, its properly replicating now

@sourcaffeine said in FOG Client Not Working:

I am not exactly sure what was different but it seems to be working now without issue on the workstations with a new image with a new copy of the fog client installed.

The re-install does something very important. It pins to the current FOG server certificate and downloads the right FOG Project CA cert as well.

Thank you very much Tom for the info.

Hi, I’ve just looked into it, and it seems there’s potentially a bug that affects some PHP versions causing this problem. (The search page just fails with code 500 otherwise.)

I’ve made a PR to fix the problem here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/pull/299
