Thanks for all the help.

[quote=“Fernando Gietz, post: 44198, member: 13”]Hello Matthew,

Thi splugin is only available in the beta version. Not in 1.2[/quote]

That is clearified in the wiki mentioned in the 1st post.

It’s probably OK to image while the backup is running, but you might see decreased performance in both.

IMO, leave it alone.

And, there are probably 100 different backup methods/programs/scripts you could use to backup FOG server.

See [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/NAS_Storage_Node[/url] for more information.

You could use a startup script in windows to check the available space and extend the partition by an amount if you wanted to.

Interesting. Seems like it does not match the md5sum anymore. Not sure which kernel image this is but I downloaded 3.19.1.x and 3.19.0.x and non of the md5sums match! Please rnu this commands too:
[CODE]$ file -k bzImage
…
$ ls -al bzImage
…[/CODE]

Yes fog can work with the files from cloned ills though some renaming maybe needed and compressing as gzip as well. You could also re upload the image using fog.

Thanks man but its not a PXE boot problem or DHCP server issue seeing to as I am not using FOG’s for DHCP & I’m not running Ubuntu (EWW & WTF lol)

😄

look at BootMenu.class.php - in and around line 1010 which is where it “builds” the menu… have a play around, see what works and luckily it’s all hookable, so you can amend it and won’t be reverted on upgrade (due to the fact hooks get copied during install!)

here’s my hook doing something similar if it helps you in the right direction 🙂

[CODE]<?php
class BrandBootMenu extends Hook
{
var $name = ‘BrandBootMenu’;
var $description = ‘customize boot menu items.’;
var $author = ‘Lee Rowlett’;
var $active = true;
public function tweakmenu($arguments)
{
if ($arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’])
{
$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][7] = ‘colour --rgb 0x036802 2’;
$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][14] = preg_replace(‘#right 80#’,‘right 80 --top 80’,$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][14]);
}
}
}
$BrandBootMenu = new BrandBootMenu();
// Hook Event
$HookManager->register(‘IPXE_EDIT’, array($BrandBootMenu, ‘tweakmenu’));[/CODE]

I am new to this community. I am interested to discuss about the computer hardware peripherals.

[quote=“MrsPotter, post: 43841, member: 27740”]Yes - thanks. Your suggestions make sense. And, yes one can build remarkably complex images with all the tools MS provides. And, we do that also. And, yes GPO is great (could have been more user friendly), and we use it extensively. However, it is for a great many reasons not entirely practical with this particular setup we have.

Having Partimage check if the image is restorable would be a nice to have though :). I was assuming one could tweak this through some sort of advanced setting. Even, if you do a SysPrep you would want to be sure it was imaged correctly before you even move on to the testing phase. Maybe I should list this under feature requests? It would also be cool if one could have more than one image associated with a certain PC.

Other than that - all my thumbs are up - FOG seems like a very neat piece of software :)[/quote]

I suppose the ultimate test would be to just do a image deployment of said image. That would be better than any software check.

I know this is an old thread but it doesn’t look like it was answered. I found that I am having the same problem as TuxMeister getting a boot failure. Are there supposed to be other TFTP boot files inside the ISO folder and where do I find these files?

Hola Fernando,
I m really sorry for this, I m not searching for a fight at all. It s just that i found that it was something so interesting and i was so happy that i found the installation files that i wanted to share it here !
Now i m in production and have to deploy my computer otherwise it would have been a pleasure to test it !

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 43555, member: 28155”]I can’t do that, I’d surely loose my job.[/quote]

I face this problem as well, I set up a computer at home for FOG and let it mine away though.

Thanks for pointing this out! I totally forgot that linux’s ‘mv’ command does not move hidden files. So either you move that file seperately (mv /images/.mntcheck /nas) or you just create it as Joseph suggested.
Concerning access rights ‘mv’ should not alter them. If they were 777 before they should be 777 after moving too! But it doesn’t hure either!

Please search the forums. Numerous people have asked on how to boot ISO files from FOG PXE menu and there are heaps of answers and code snippets on how to do this.

In short: Yes it can be done and it is easier if you use the current (unstable) development version of FOG because PXE menu can be configured within the web interface. With FOG 1.2.0 you’ll have to edit a PHP file to do this…

[quote=“Reagan Kirby, post: 43227, member: 28838”]Thank you for your response. If I am running a PXE server already would this not be the same as just turning on each PC and selecting PXE boot?[/quote]

the difference is, usually usb boot is enabled as an option even when pxe boot is not, so you often don’t need to enter bios. the cctk also sets more than just the pxe for me, so it’s less keystrokes in the bios.

On my current Fog server, Ubuntu 12.04 and Fog 1.2.0, I updated the bzImage files and saw that there are downloads for the the init files as well. Are we supposed to update the init files? If so, how? If not, why is there an option to download them?

Thanks,
Reub

Uploading an image to FOG will not harm the computer being ‘captured’. All data will still be intact. Just make sure the image type is Re-sizable so that FOG can handle the change is storage size.

Hi dl550,
I can’t see how this is related to the other posts in the thread!? To be honest I don’t really understand what you are asking for! Probably a good idea to open up a complete new post and describe what exactly goes wrong. Are you trying to have french keyboard layout?
