@Rico Maybe this helps: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179929

Seams like some kind of weird partclone thing… You might need to create an empty output file first.

As well you want to read this: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/4db4b2bd/ (partclone.restore seams to be deprecated and you should use partclone.<fstype>)

@Wayne-Workman I think it’s very close indeed, and do realize there are a lot of things that needed to be changed in order to make gpt/uefi/windows 10 work properly. I’m not really complaining as I’ve used many different coding languages, except php, and completely understand the complexities with trying to perfect a program, but we should have a better idea than “hopefully sometime”. It’s just a little discouraging sometimes.

@greenfog @dylan This has been in our Wiki for quite a while: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL

From my personal experience I would recommend updating to the latest trunk version of FOG. It is much more advanced and I can capture and deploy W10 images without issues.

You need to install “subversion” and then download the latest package with

svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk

From there you install as usual. But be aware that updating might not always work flawlessly so I would test it in a non-productive environment and consider a clean install of the trunk version.

It’s not our dns servers

You don’t have to use them. You can make your own and direct all hosts to use yours.

I install dynamique DNS with bind and it works fine. Thanks again

@Wayne-Workman thank you for support.
Works like a charm.
Regards

Thanks, Tom.

Yep I have the Trunk version running.
I was hoping to have the ability to Add items to the ‘Advanced Menu’ with the new option in FOG Trunk of creating menu items. Is this possible at all?
or if not would it be possible to create another Sub Menu instead using this feature? (Similar to Advanced Menu) that way I can have network tools/Additional PXE options in a sub menu instead of on the Main IPXE menu.

Hopefully I am making sense 🙂

Thanks again.

@Arrowhead-IT If you put it that way then i’m going to create new Ubuntu server in our VM host and then install newest trunk

That’s exactly what I did when I took over where I work too. Never regretted it and learned more than I would have if I just tried to carry on with someone elses setup.

Take a look at the Location Plugin - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Plugins

It allows you to have a “master” FOG server that you could point all clients to (in terms of the FOG client installed on the computers), but have them image from the server at their building. If you have a computer at your office for repair, you could also switch its location while it’s there to image and then switch it back once it’s returned to the building. We use this plugin very successfully with 24 sites, although we only have two FOG servers total since our WAN links are all 1Gb or better.

@Wayne-Workman

That’s also in the works. Again, it’s for the stop gap in between time. The clients are laptops that students roam with, and due to them being on wireless with cached logins, group policy takes longer than I’d like to roll out.

I’ll throw it into PDQ deploy though, that should handle it pretty fast. Thanks for your help and input!

I switched this back to a normal topic as opposed to an unsolved/solved question. This is something trying to get information on a new version of fog and the title is far too vague to give a proper “answer”. Even if it asked when 1.3.0 was going to be released its still not a Solve/Unsolve question. I prefer to use the solved/unsolved questions for bugs and/or features.

@Tom-Elliott

Ok so you would recommend switching to the latest version from the trunk of the repo? I will try that tomorrow.

Yes, I exchanged all the IP addresses with hostnames because my FOG server has different IP addresses depending on the NIC the client is connected to. I think it will work once the dns system works properly with the dns server address provided by the DHCP server.

I keep you updated when I tried with the latest version.

Thanks
Marcel

Hi Wayne,

i have installed fog on 250Gb Hdd in my local system, which is not sufficient space for me to save all the images.that’s why i have mounted my NAS storage /storage on fog server.but im unable to configure my /storage on fog,kindly provide the guide to mount my storage on fog…or provide the notes for make softlink between fog and my NAS so that i can save multiple images on NAS.

Linux cannot re-export a directory that is already remote. You shouldn’t mount the NAS on the fog server itself.

You should configure it as a storage node in the FOG web GUI, and create an NFS share on the NAS and an FTP user with full access to that share.

in the NFS share, there should be /storage/.mntcheck and /storage/dev/.mntcheck

/storage should be read only, /storage/dev should be read write.

FTP needs full access to the entire /storage directory.

Depending on the type of NAS (like Synology), you will need to move to FOG Trunk (like Tom said).

@robza No problem.

If you need any help just let me know, I will see what I can whip up.

@Cyrus So you haven’t actually installed any sql services?
I would just add the packages reccomended by the wiki ignoring any errors because some of them are just outdated…

rpm --import http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm rpm --import http://rpms.famillecollet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

Then manually install these packages

yum -y install htmldoc ttf2pt1 t1utils fltk subversion wget git

Then make a folder for the fog installer git and cd into it, download fog, and install it, for example…
(replace ‘fog’ with your username if you are going to let the installer create the fog user for you)

mkdir /home/fog/fogInstalls mkdir /home/fog/fogInstalls/git cd /home/fog/fogInstalls/git git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git ./ #this part will take a little while cd bin ./installfog.sh # follow the prompts # Then configure the firewall per this post (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6162/firewall-configuration) for service in http https tftp ftp mysql nfs mountd rpc-bind proxy-dhcp samba; do firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=$service; done systemctl restart firewalld.service

Then whenever you need to update

cd /home/fog/fogInstalls/git git pull cd bin ./installfog.sh -Y

and that’s all there is to it.

@Tom-Elliott
Thanks again as always!

@Jaymes-Driver Reminds me of my time in the Army.

Particularly

NCO Creed
No one is more professional than I. I am a noncommissioned officer, a leader of Soldiers. As a noncommissioned officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as “The Backbone of the Army”. I am proud of the Corps of noncommissioned officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the military service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.

Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind—accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my Soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient. I am aware of my role as a noncommissioned officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All Soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my Soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my Soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.

Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my Soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, noncommissioned officers, leaders!

I referenced this in my other post, but this fixed my issues as well. Thanks!
