@Wayne-Workman I think he had missing packages.

So I removed all the php packages and libapache-mod-php packages.

Then I re-ran the installer after removing the packages line from the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file.

once that was done all worked properly.

I know you referenced another thread - but that thread is a year old.

Can you please post your errors that you are seeing. Take pictures of them.

@Tom-Elliott / @Wayne-Workman OK everything is working fine now. thank you fog team for the help. according to @Tom-Elliott it was because the tftp folder was misdirected. I’m not really sure how that occurred but he fixed it. also @Wayne-Workman the revert to kernel 4.7.0 fixed the messages issue. but being as I’m informed its not really an error ill just later revert to kernel 4.7.1 and downgrade the messaging

@3541 said in FOG boots to menu but can't open anything else Lenovo Thinkpad Helix:

iPXE just flat-out doesn’t have drivers for USB ethernet adapters.

That’s not correct, many people here use USB to Ethernet adapters to image with FOG. Support is less with them of course, but saying they don’t have support is incorrect. Often - it’s the host’s firmware that is the issue, or the adapter itself, not iPXE.

@Darrell-Lanson This normally presents itself on uploads by getting hung trying to create the partition table.

We have utilities already that allow you to fix this really quite easily, but does require you load up in a debug mode.

@alexf2132 Ah, seems you’re right, you can likely safely delete it then.

If your real host does not have its mac address as hostname then

delete from hosts where hostName = 28d244343edf

Thanks Wayne!

@george1421 @Tom-Elliott Just wanted to report back to say that everything looks to be working and thank you for your help!

@Wayne-Workman Thank you for all your help.

@Wayne-Workman

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been busy at other locations. I think that moving to a freshly installed server is probably the best solution. I don’t have time to do it today, but it will be a separate machine (a better machine). What will be the best way to get those images and hosts transferred? I greatly appreciate the help. Also, be aware that due to the failed upgrading process, the web gui is no longer working.

I changed ip address of my server, removed /opt/fog/.fogsettings and reinstalled fog again. Now it works like a charm. May be, there was a compatibility issue between old fog settings and new fog version. Now, I don’t see any strange error like above.

Have you tried using sudo to copy using the second account?

Thanks. I’ll try that in the morning.

@Kleber Here’s a basic example that uses powershell with snapins - testing working on Win10. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8348/reset-local-windows-account-password-1-3-0

Yep, awesome that seemed to fix the issue.
just reset the encryption data for all hosts as it seemed to be happening on every client.

Thanks. 🙂

@kevinrigney
Did you change them in each of the folders to fog and root?

Mine had Me and root. I can’t upload an image.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne! I appreciate the help and patience! You’re the man!

@Joe-Gill
