    Everything working fine until this latest FOG update. Using a Strix Point laptop with a USB Ethernet adaptor. Also trying to install different kernels through the web UI no longer works. HTTP ERROR 500

    I tried installing master branch. Failed, couldn’t even boot to memtest. I restored the FOG VM from a back up made a few days ago. 1.5.10.2144 - everything is working as normal now. Afraid to update

    Just thinking, sometime between the 1.5.10.2144 backup, there were tons of dev updates, and one time when I did a git pull on FOG, it deleted a bunch of things. But since the gui worked, I assumed it was okay

    @JJ-Fullmer This was it, thank you!!

    Everything I read kept telling me this machine was x86 based and there is no hint in the BIOS or the serial number lookup tool, of it running an ARM processor(other then “Elite”). We are going to return these machines to the vendor, so problem solved for us.

    Would be interested in hearing about future support for ARM in FOG because I’m sure this isn’t the last time we will cross paths with it.

    I pulled latest dev-branch version 1.5.10.1856, re-run installer and snapins are working again.

    Thank you very much for help.

    @Numa09
    I had the same problem with a TP-Link switch. The model was a TL-SG2428P, and the FOG client would get stuck at:

    “Running post init scripts…”

    There were no error messages on the server, and the server firewall was disabled.

    After seeing your comment, I disabled the DoS protection feature on the switch, and FOG started working normally.

    Thank you, man!

    Hello everyone,

    As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
    I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

    I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

    However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

    I modified my DHCP server as follows:

    ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

    I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

    I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

    Thanks in advance!

    I’ve updated my FOG to the stable release and also updated my script with the following three lines, and everything’s fine – the database has been backed up successfully, it’s perfect!

    fogApiToken="XYZ=" fogUsrToken="ZYF" curl -ik -X GET "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/system/export" -H "fog-api-token: $fogApiToken" -H "fog-user-token: $fogUsrToken" -o $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1

    Thanks again for all your hard work on the FOG project!
