No worries guys, thanks for the clarification. As long as that is clearly listed somewhere that should be fine. Would it be worth including a small note in each release announcement along the lines of “To download this release via Git, refer to wiki instructions here <link to relevant wiki page>” ?

@Wayne-Workman Wayne, I will be back in the office tomorrow, and can do so then.

@Rees107 we need more information. What server version? Do you have the newest FOG Client installed? If so we need the fog.log which can be found a problematic host at C:\fog.log.

@Wayne-Workman said in Install FOG 1.3.3 with wget or git:

Ok, thank you. I will try 1.3.5 before ending my procedure.

So in simpler terms:

“Technically yes, FOG going to try to include such a feature----probably not.”

@TTellez said in Transition to offline FOG from Online installation?:

Using the browser to connect to FOG It says I need internet access. Or am I doing it wrong?

The login screen contacts fogproject.org to get the estimated number of FOG sites that are operating world-wide. If the FOG server can’t retrieve this information, it’s not a problem. Just business as usual.

Hello,
It’s possible with some models, HP got BiosConfigUtility.exe and Dell got cctk.exe. With both you can deploy a batch via GPO to change BIOS options. Ex with cctk:
Batch.bat:

@"\\MyServer\MyShare\Bios\Dell\W7\cctk.exe" --valsetuppwd MyBiosPass -i "\\MyServer\MyShare\Bios\Dell\CPQSETUP.TXT"

CPQSETUP.TXT:

[cctk] bootorder=legacytype,+embnic,+hdd,-cdrom,-usbdev,,-floppy wakeonlan=enable

So, I gave up on the .IMG and I’m searching for ISOs, which are working perfectly, accordingly to what I need. Thanks for your concern.

I think that’s a bit “extreme”. I would certainly hope FOG is not a “life or death” situation.

(At least I would hope people aren’t threatening other’s lives over it).

Glad we could help though.

@Wayne-Workman hah lol

Oh, Ok thanks 🙂

@Tom-Elliott You are a super-human. Thank you so much! It works wonderfully.

@Wayne-Workman Awesome! I ran the commands on this page and my site is up and running! Thanks. There were some questions about DHCP and PXE in the install which I didn’t really know how to answer but if I answered it wrong I will probably trash the VM and start again as it’s quite quick.

Now I need to do some reading about capturing an image!

@Wayne-Workman said in install fog offline:

FOG 1.2.0 is obsolete now, so is Ubuntu 10. And it’s just a bad idea to use anything but the latest LTS version of Ubuntu for a new build.
Until well ago was the official version, this I say, are LiveCD with FOG 1.2. installed so you only have to install and configure.
Fog 1.3.4 still gives errors, we are testing it, so I think this is a good solution to install without connection.

In any case you can always try …

@george1421 OK! At last it’s now working! the info from my friend here : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8668/qnap-nas-storage worked awesome! It’s sad that I cannot see the status of my NAS storage on my web fog management->home but I could see it on my NAS

@Smennywheek to debug the client, look at / provide the C:\fog.log file on the host with issues.

@cnkpadobi I’d like you to start with this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6400/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-harder-way

Don’t let the title scare you. Its not really that hard. What you will do here is create an iPXE boot stick that will launch you into the iPXE FOG menu. The only thing that you need to be concerned with is the iPXE kernel have built in usb support for the generic network adapter.

If that process fails we can build a FOS usb boot stick and bypass iPXE altogether.

Thank you

@Wayne-Workman i won the race 😉
