@Tom-Elliott Thank you!

I would check out /opt/fog/.fogsettings
The file is hidden so you will need to show hidden files ctrl+h
Checking my settings I do not see a fog user as a local db user. it will use root by default or a user that you specified during install

Hope that helps

This should now be fixed.

The editing of groups was likely a problem that I hope to have fixed.

When you removed hosts en-mass, it didn’t clear other associative fields.

I’ve added a cleaner to this, to hopefully make editing these items a bit better.

The blank screen is because apparently I need to adjust the version of PHP. I’ve updated the source to hopefully install at least php 56 for most OS’s though I don’t know everything.

@Deastrom Ah.

If this is a 1:1 host to image environment for the DSR you were talking about… I don’t know why you’d even need the fog client… unless you want it to deploy EXEs or MSIs or printers or such… or schedule reboots, shutdowns, etc. But a DSR’s purpose is not to deploy MSIs or shutdown computers, you know?

I say test this tomorrow, fully - with at least one computer. I wouldn’t risk downloading to the same computer, but perhaps to a same (or similar) model that you have as a spare.

If this doesn’t work, don’t fear, we have FOG Trunk that does work on Debian 8.

FYI:
I’m on FOG 0.32 (Kernel 3.8.8) and can image the Dell Optiplex 9020. I’ve tested the micro version (“lunch box” format) and small-form-factor.

can configure this. But since I installed

You can’t really, not without probably breaking a lot of stuff.

To get the custom multicast address feature, you’ll need to move to FOG Trunk.

Here are some articles on that:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN

I was actually the person who requested the custom multicast address and port, lol. So, When I say it’d be very difficult and you’d likely break lots of stuff, I’ve been there and done that.

FOG Trunk is really stable right now, too. I use it at work and home. I’ve already imaged my entire building this summer in under a month - and I use the custom multicast settings.

Fixed! Thanks Tom!

@stevefsusd Check this out: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

There’s a section in there just for you. 🙂

Let us know if you need more help.

@Roger-Saffle Make sure you use the same IP as the old main, and same name.

@tnunn

In my own experience, the image process completing without doing anything happened due to a weird MBR size that is made custom for some brands…

Can you tell us what the output is of these commands:

cat /images/<image name here>/d1.fixed_size_partitions cat /images/<image name here>/d1.minimum.partitions

Can you try changing the filename from undionly.kpxe to undionly.kkpxe and see if that helps out?

Those errors occur when you’re looking at the fog configuration pages base page. The come up because of the attempt to read the bzImage and bzImage32 files version.

@Jack-S. i think for the bios drivers update with your Dell OptiPlex 3020, you can get it from here: https://windows10skill.com/download-dell-drivers-for-windows-10/

ok, thank you Tom!

@Danny-R Can you make sure tftp is running on your fog server? That link will tell you how to check it and start it.

You can also try to get the file via TFTP through the CLI on the FOG server itself. If it succeeds, it’s a firewall issue. If it does not, you have either permissions or TFTP goofed. The Troubleshoot TFTP article shows how everything should be and gives commands for all of it.

@Ahagel said:

Is there a known solution to this outside of using the FOG server for DHCP?

You can use Windows DHCP. You could even use ProxyDHCP (dnsmasq).

The TFTP article I posted links to those topics.

Are the images partclone or partimage ? If they are old partimage images and not set as such, it wouldn’t work.

@Wayne-Workman

That makes sense, the only reason we stuck with the desktop version is we have on site people that are not all that technical. Walking them through a CLI is tough sometimes if we can’t remotely manage. If i can’t get the trunk version installed on this version of ubuntu, next time i’m on site i will defiantly try a debian cli.

I’ll post anymore updates as soon as i can. Again, thanks for the info and i’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
