  @kratkale Ok, I finally got the time to get into fog-client development again. I am trying to answer your questions step by step. About port naming: The field Printer Port is what you see in the Windows printing dialog as “Port name”. So if you put in 9100 it will be named 9100 but if you put in an IP the port will be named exactly as you want it. On the other hand if you want to specify a different TCP port for printing you put in x.x.x.x:9111 in the Printer IP field. I will change the field labels in the FOG web UI to make this clear. Changing the printer setup on FOG changes sometimes nothing. (e.g. the name of the inf file - the printer …) My solution was to deploy the computer again … I am not exactly sure if I get what you mean. Let’s see… If you change any of the settings in the FOG web UI while the fog-client is running on the computer the changes won’t be sent out to the client immediately. This is something I hope to change in the future but that’s how it is right now. But if you change things and then reboot the client machine it should use the changed settings! -) Group management with Printers: If I update a group with the option “only Assigned Printers” the clients are not updated. The are still in the mode “No Printer Management” This is a known issue I just fixed a couple of days ago. It will be in the next release! -) How to install a local pdf Printer, when I use the option: “Only Assigned Printers” Find out the settings used in the PDF printer (using the fog-client PrinterManagerHelper.exe or manually from the printer properties…) and set it up in FOG as well?! Should work I suppose.

  @george1421, @Sebastian-Roth the only thing I foresee and maybe missed. Selinux won’t automatically be disabled because you made the change to the config file, it would require a reboot of the machine first. I would also, suggest changing from disabled to permissive. Disabling forces the file system to be unsupported and require being reestablished should you turn selinux back on. Placing into permissive mode keeps the file system contexts active and does not hinder usage. Plus you enter the command setenforcing 0 to switch selinux into permissive mode for the current running session which doesn’t require immediate reboot. DERP — Don’t mind me, I’m dumb. Looked again and see you do have it set to permissive and do run the setenforce command.

  @martial said: USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8153… Ok, we definitely have that driver included in our kernel config (since a long time). So I was wondering if other people had issues with Linux on this device. But seems like people are happily installing Linux on it despite some video card issues - see here. But no one complaining about network issues. So I went hunting for those USB messages and read about USB hubs or other faulty USB hardware here and there, e.g.: It seems the hub in the monitor went bad and was screwing with all other USB ports on the system Maybe just some faulty hardware? Have you tried different ones. Always getting the exact same error on every try? Then again I ask you for the third time (and last!), have you tried adding the Kernel Parameter has_usb_nic=1 to the host settings?? If this device is still unregistered and the error happens on registration you might just add the host manually via the web UI, add the parameter and try a capture task to see if that helps.

  UNSOLVED FOG update to 1.5.5 doesn't allow passphrase entry for SSL/TLS key

  @hancocza Ahhh now I see. Please tell us which Linux OS (and version) you have. The messages “Enter passphrase for SSL/TLS keys…” and “Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool” are not something we do in the FOG installer scripts. So my guess is that on your system the package installer enables SSL for apache and also generates certificates with non-empty password by default when installing the apache package. Not saying that you never should but it is most common to have apache web server certificates without password because you need to enter that password on each reboot. A lot of servers need to be “restat-able” without user interaction.

  @hancocza Your picture shows the iPXE error http://ipxe.org/err/1c0de8 - see this is definitely talking about TLS being the issue. Now having a closer look at the iPXE menu output you posted from “boot.php” I see that i does a chain https://... right at the end as well as console --picture https://... and others which all will likely fail if you don’t have iPXE binaries compiled with your certificate in it. Those URLs are generated and the http(s) part is derived from the client request itself. So if a client asks for http:// all the URLs in the bootmenu will also be http:// - but we generate an apache config to redirect HTTP to HTTPS and therefore you end up with https:// URLs in the iPXE boot menu. Either you disable the forced HTTPS redirect or you look into compiling correct iPXE binaries. The later should be real easy using the script as I suggested.

  @Sebastian-Roth Thanks for that. Just to list the Changes I have made to attempt to improve stability: Within /var/www/html/fog/service/multicasttask.class.php Line 491 Added: ' --retries-until-drop 100', Added: ' --max-bitrate 500m', Line 641: Changed Value: From 10 to 30 Ran the following commands $ syctl -w net.core.rmem_max=26214400 $ syctl -w net.core.rmem_default=26214400 I’m also going to try to only deploy to devices on the same switch as to avoid traffic being passed through our router. I’ve taken a look at hdparm, but don’t understand how to create postinitscripts or how to use hdparm currently so I’m not going to take a shot at that just yet. I’m next able to test this out next Tues/Weds. So I will let you know how it goes.

  @jgiovann Ah sorry, just saw that I had miss-read one of your posts. Looking back to the older ones I see that your client seemed to try to connect to http://192.168.0.87/fog//index.php which is the right URL - not the one you posted last… Now as I think of it it’s probably best you test this URL again and watch the apache access logs. On your FOG server run tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log (debian/ubuntu) or tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log (centos/fedora/rhel), hit ENTER twice to see where the last state was and then open http://192.168.0.87/fog//index.php in your browser from the client in the 192.168.2.0/24 network. You probably see the request coming in. Now quickly PXE boot another client that you want to register, choose quick register and keep an eye on the access logs while it boots up. Keep hitting ENTER on the access log and see if you can find the entry that says the client. If you don’t see the client requesting on PXE boot we probably need to see if you have some weird firewall rules blocking only some of the 192.168.2.0/24 clients?!

  @vinodjotshi The topic you linked is good 6 years old and talking about pxelinux.0 which we don’t use anymore and would be causing an error! Please be so kind and give us more information on what exactly does not work? Have you set your clients to PXE boot in the BIOS?? What do you see on screen? Take a picture or even video of errors or the boot process.

  Sorry about the long intervals between posts. Just finishing up internal product training… SO… I did as @Sebastian-Roth suggested and was able to successfully take an image and push it down on a blank VM! I have not tried putting the image back on the source VM but thought I would report back that I am successful and appear to be all set. The take away from this is having 2 storage nodes on the same machine is not a great idea. If you run out of space, add a HDD and mount it /Images to add space. Thank you @Sebastian-Roth and @george1421 for your help and guidance!

  @Sebastian-Roth Thank you so much, I missed it when you originally said that, running it with --exitFail didn’t work, however running it with -X did work. After this I was able to update/install the schema and actually log into the server via the web interface. Additionally I tested booting to the server via PXE and was able too!

  @Tom-Elliott I can always deploy a new client via GroupPolicy so that doesn’t scare me from making the change. I’ll probably hold off for now only because it’s not a huge issue to stay on http for me. I think adding a hostname item would be great and it would make FOG much more portable and secure to make https the default

  @Sebastian-Roth Thank you so much. You found the solution. The new password had an underscore ( _ ) as a chracter. I changed it and all is well again. Now I’m planning the upgrade to the latest FOG. Thanks again for your help. Alex

  @Les https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP Please start there. Mind you this thread is very old and while the message you’re seeing may be similar, hence my posting to the wiki article, chances are your circumstances, version, file, etc… are vastly different. It’d be recommended to open a new thread.

  @lschnider FWIW: Some people “need” to have it enabled because of internal security policies. That is why the developers came up with a list of required ports.

  @Sebastian-Roth okay, thanks. I’ll do some research and see which route seems best. I still have a lot to learn about linux and wasn’t sure if there was a “new” way of adding storage to a FOG server since the wiki didn’t mention LVM and I was am not familiar with that yet.

  @Sebastian-Roth So I went ahead and switched to dev-branch and upgrade nodes along with fog server. Seems like it’s working fine and the storage group info is now displayed. Thank you again for your help in this.
