Of course the way via snapin would be the alternative.

I just wanted to try the clientupdater service for the first time and exactly the required file was forgotten in the sourcode ;(

can you give me the wiki path for tftp issues

Building A successfully gets DHCP addresses etc as well ?

That was easy, Thanks!!!

Hi, I haven’t solved it yet. Since I don’t have a lot of time to spend on that issue, I might use an external drive plugged in the ubuntu server to store image files.
I’ll post a message if I manage to solve the problem 🙂

I have determined the image path this storage node is using is the path from another storage group Master node. I have 2 storage groups and each have a Master node. Why would this be looking at the other storage group? I have verify the storage group is correct on the image.

Update for everyone. I can Image Windows 7 just fine. Looks like it’s just Vista.

You need to add the subfolder and the subfolder/dev to the /etc/exports file, and then run exportfs -av

Try post 8 in [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-is-inoperable-after-server-reboot.11460/[/url][/quote]

I will try that.

It seems like a lot of people run into issues like this when building an image on a physical machine. I would recommend by starting off by wiping all partitions out with a gparted disc and then making sure BIOS is set to legacy mode (at least until UEFI issues are resolved) and then install Windows. It would prevent issues like this from occurring

I just found the following thread:

[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/kernel-panic-not-syncing-lenovo-thinkpad-edge.10794/[/url]

I’ll try hosting the files from another server to see if that helps. I’m also in the process of compiling my own init.xz.

resolved: bios hdd settings were set for raid, not ide.

To simplify the commands, you can run:
[code]touch /images/{,dev/}.mntcheck
chmod -R 777 /images[/code]

Brendan,

You are brilliant.
I downgraded one of our AO753’s from V1.24 to V1.16 and it works.
The Acer Aspire 1830 is also an identical BIOS so the downgrade worked for them too (From V1.20 to V1.16).

Tom, Not sure if any of this can help? But have amended the descriptions of each bios version below from the Acer website.

Version - Description
1.24 - BIOS (Well this isn’t much of a description)
1.20 - Releases for support WiMAX
1.16 - 1. Updates ROM to support LAN chip rev. B.

Updates ME version to 6.0.42.1221.
1.11 - Solves no display issue from S3 resume during OOBE at the first cycle of factory default preload.

The zip files don’t appear to have an release notes or change logs.

Regards,
Jason

The reason why 1.2.0 direct upgrades seem to fail from 1.x.x to 1.2.0 is because 1.2.0 actually fixed some installer issues with the database things.

Even in 0.32 the upgrade path still required one to edit the config file if you set a mysql password. Add to that, the fact you had two config files to edit. You had /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and /var/www/fog/commons/config.php

In 1.1.2 (i think) i moved the config.php to it’s own class file located in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php

In 1.1.2 however, the installer was still having issues with passworded mysql databases. The FOG Team tried, during our move over from 1.0.0 rom 0.32, fixing a method to allow the password to be written into the now singular config file. This password was more related to the snmysqlpass field which is, in storage nodes, the database password for the fogstorage user. As the password didn’t seem to work right for the ftp user or the db user, we tried to use this field to set and hold the information for the ftp as this is more often the problem in 0.32. Then, finally I was able to fix the problem properly. The only problem I couldn’t fix were previously configured .fogsettings files. So, the fix, before you upgrade, is to edit the snmysqlpass with either blank or your mysql password. Run your installfog.sh file and all should work properly. And the upside is you won’t have to do this every time. If you already upgraded, edit the /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php and enter either your blank or mysql password as needed. Edit the .fogsettings information as well.

While editing the .fogsettings file will not fix issues automatically, it will help you in the future when you need to update/upgrade fog again.

There are two web options I could see that may slow down the UI if one you have a large host database or limited ram.
FOG_USE_ANIMATION_EFFECTS
FOG_HOST_LOOKUP

Also if you upgrade from .32 it would work better if you wipe your mySQL database out

The following I believe are the ports that fog uses:
FTP – tcp 20,21
SSH – tcp 22
TFTP – udp 69
HTTP(s) – tcp 80,443
Portmap – tcp/udp 111
NFS – tcp/udp 2049
Transfer ports – tcp/udp 1024 – 65535

Depending on where your firewall is located you may not need to make changes to it though. For example if it is out on the DMZ it shouldn’t matter. You will need to configure DHCP in your switches though if not already done so. [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Modifying_existing_DHCP_server_to_work_with_FOG[/url]

Tom - I have not tried that conf and will give it a try next time we have “down time” at work. Thank you for some input.

Cadyfish - if this is what is in the wiki, we have tried that. Very time we restart dnsmasq with that other config, it crashes dnsmasq. The system logs really does not give me any input as to why (I could be looking at the wrong logs). That being said, I will also try this just in case I did miss something. THANKS!
