@george1421 said in FOG MENU FILE:

@breit The boot.php script builds the iPXE menu on the fly based on what the client is asking, the state of knowledge about the clinet, and what the client is. There is no static file that can be changed. If you want to change the iPXE menu you can

Work within the frame work the developers have provided with the iPXE menu configuration in the FOG Settings. Write your own plugin to alter and hook into the boot menu creation. Hack the php code to make the boot.php page create things the way you want.

Each has its drawback and advantages, but beyond step 1 you add quite a bit of complexity to your task.

Thanks for the Info and all your help!

@freak
checkin and obtain taskid

@Foglalt Thanks for the thumbs up! You are welcome and I am sure we can figure out what’s wrong in case this is still happening with 1.4.4! Please keep us posted.

@thiagotw Hey I’m glad we were able to get it worked out. And I have to say, your graphic is way cooler than my avatar!! Maybe someday I will get that good with graphics to update my avatar. 🙂

Ah well … turns out i’m just simply blind 😛

I changed the path in the commands to my local folder structure but missed one spot … since it booted pretty far I thought everything must be written correctly, turns out: No.

Thanks for the help.

Yes there is a kernel parameter for that its the vga parameter.

vga=792 This should be 1024x768x24

Thanks a ton!

Thanks. I was just wondering. Before I recreated the /home/fog/ directory the image capture process kept giving errors. So I was thinking that there might be some script or something in that directory. However, now after just manually recreating that directory image capture is working just fine again. I had run the installofg.sh and I had thought that it would have recreated the fog home directory, since it did detect that the directory was missing. I didn’t read the screen carefully enough to see that it was directing me to manually delete and recreate the fog user. Recreating the home directory did the trick through.

Thanks for confirming that I am not missing anything critical in that directory though.

@alexvm said in Selecting which server to capture/deploy images on Fog:

is to select on which server I want the images to be captured first and which server to deploy them first.

There are some rules that you have to work with. Rule 1. Captures always, always, always go to the master of the storage-group the image is assigned to. This rule can’t be changed, it’s how fog works.

However, you can have many storage groups, and a storage node can belong to many groups. A storage node can be a master in one group, and a non-master in another - there’s a whole lot of ways to setup the nodes & groups & masters. Here’s more information on how replication works: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Replication

For the second part of your question, I think you might be looking for the Location plugin, here’s more details: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Location_Plugin I think if you watch the video, a lot of your questions will be answered.

@tywyn said in Computer does not see DHCP on PXE-Boot, but it does with Windows running:

Your hint to put a dump hub/switch between client and network dose did solve the problem as well.

FWIW: This is a quick test we can use to see if standard spanning tree is the issue. The dumb switch will keep the building switch from transitioning during the boot of FOS.

@george1421
Thanks george, hopefully we will begin to implement the pxechain method and actually get this system off the ground.

Appreciate your help.

@tandersb said in Cannot capture image- fails at 'Saving original partition table':

Is there a mailing list I should be on to get notified of new releases?

Release Candidates and Releases are in the Announcements area:
https://forums.fogproject.org/category/22/announcements

But currently news.fogproject.org is not working.

Latest version is also shown right on the FOG login screen, and in FOG Configuration area too.

This has been fixed.

Thank you so much, I made the changes I needed in the bootmenu.class.php file (line 528) and now the prompt is in french !

$Send['chainhide'] = array( 'cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386', "iseq \${platform} efi && set key 0x1b || set key $KSKey", "iseq \${platform} efi && set keyName ESC || " . "set keyName $KSName", "prompt --key \${key} --timeout $this->_timeout " . "Demarrage en cours... (Presser la touche \${keyName} pour acceder au menu) && " . "goto menuAccess || $this->_bootexittype",

I know it might sound trivial, but I would like to insert some kind of ascii logo to warn my users that it’s time to press the escape button. I can’t figure out how to insert a line break in the line of code below without breaking things… I would like to display someting like :

. "Demarrage en cours... "line break" _____ "line break" / __ \ "line break" | / \/ ___ _ __ _ __ "line break" | | / _ \| '__| '_ \ "line break" | \__/\ (_) | | | |_) |"line break" \____/\___/|_| | .__/ "line break" | | "line break" |_| "line break" (Presser la touche \${keyName} pour acceder au menu) && "

Thank you again for your time !

Hi guys, first I would like to say thanks for all of you that help me here on this amazing tools that is FOG.

Special thanks for @Tom-Elliott @george1421 @Sebastian-Roth

Unnfortunately I can’t share more info about the AD for policy of the company that I work, I check out about the AD tables directory parents and even like that I couldn’t establish integration.

So I use the plugin of Access Control Manager , and create local users.

Looks great, you can make the filter of what the users can see it, but these bunch of users also can see the images of others users when list the images and the hosts as well. It is not a problem for me now.

Thanks a lot guys you are amazing.

Jacob.

@sebastian-roth That worked I have no idea how those rules got loaded onto the firewall however…

@cml Changing DocumentRoot did not help but changing the folder from which the content is served, did. Thanks.

@louislagad OK lets see what the pcap is telling us. That will give us a better picture of what the client is seeing.

Just wondering, is the dhcp server configured for some other imaging solution?

The command to do such a thing would be:

snmysqlhost=10.10.10.10 snmysqluser='root' snmysqluser='passwordforcentralsql' ./installfog.sh -y
