@Tom-Elliott @Arrowhead-IT @george1421 Thanks. I might stop make it work with 1.2 then!
I did try to upgrade to 1.2 and it just broke everything so I reverted back to 1.2
I tried setting up a new server running CentOS 7 and fog trunk but it’s not working either, just getting a blank page when trying to access the console towards the end of the install to set up the DB.
Anyway. I’ll try and set up a trunk version again!
Thanks for your help

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, this problem is resolved now.

Thanks.

@Tom-Elliott Anything we can do to prevent this kind of issue. Probably not easy to do some magic checks after restoring the MBR to see if the partitions actually fit on the disk. Hmm?!

Ubuntu doesn’t come with SELinux by default. Unless he installed the Debian package for SELinux (which pales in comparison to the Red Hat implementation), then he doesn’t have it.

I didn’t install it.

And I agree - just go with FOG Trunk, please. Getting 1.2.0 working on newer Ubuntu seems to work for some (how I don’t know) but not for others obviously. FOG Trunk just works.

Weeeeelllll… I finally got to the log in screen. Next time I run into a problem i’ll do as recommended.

And if you’re new to Linux and just learning, I might even suggest CentOS 7 instead of Ubuntu. Red Hat has a plethora of very, very, very respected certifications that are very, very, very expensive and are not, not, not a joke that will, will, will get you a good job. 🙂

I’ll check it out, thanks.

Thank you to the three of you for the help!

PS - I couldn’t find a way to mark this as SOLVED. 😞

There is an interesting talk about DHCP working on cold boot but not when restarting the computer: http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7965

Now works, but Windows not boot more
A pointer appears blinking in the upper left corner of the screen…

I find the error

there was a task hangs with one host of the multicast

My guess, because of the database dump, the FOG User (on the server) password is not what your database thinks it is.

I’d edit your fog server and reset the password to whatever it was, or figure out what it currently is and update the storage node on the server.

@arnaudrigole there’s groups to individually set, and global if all systems are showing the same issues.

FTP move should not be an issue or we should see a somehow FTP related error message - which would happen much later anyway. To me it seams like the image/VM might be corrupted. Although disk space and inodes are not running out yet.

@mecsr Have you tried running chkdsk /f within the client system as suggested on the screenshot??

I really don’t hope that this is the case but could it be the server disk is failing??

Please try restarting the mysql service with this command: sudo service mysql restart and see if you can run the Database Update on the web interface directly after that.

Thanks for reporting back. Marking this solved.

@HROAdmin26 Did you get to test this again without clearScreen? Hope we can find out what’s causing this!

@ellusiontech Any news on this? Were you able to capture a packet dump using wireshark? Thanks for testing in the shell and sending a screenshot. Seams like this is NOT a spanning tree issue. But I really wonder why DHCP is fine on the first go, then downloads iPXE via TFTP and fails on the second DHCP (send by iPXE)?

@Wayne-Workman Here is what I have in the log files.

@Tom-Elliott Yes, thank you.

You should never use tools like resizefs, gparted or fdisk on your system disk (sda in your case) within the running system!

I use it each time I have to extend partition on linux within the running system 😄 (I use snapshot before 😛 )

@Tom-Elliott Thank you for the quick fix.

I’ve updated the code base to urlencode the passwords and decode them once in the FTP class. I don’t know if it will fix the issue at hand, but it’s worth a shot.

Wiki has been updated about kernel updating. I made a new article because I couldn’t find anything about it.

Article is here, it is pretty sharp looking 🙂

Looks GREAT!!!
