You can use MySQL Workbench and cancel the task under “scheduledTasks.”

I submitted a bug sometime at the end of last year. It will be fixed in version 0.33.

I think I need help with the permissions issue with regards to fog trying to mount my Windows NFS share, can anyone assist?

Also, the upload goes to /images/dev/[mac addr] until the image is completely uploaded and moved to it’s final home at the end of the imaging processes. The chances of the upload process leaving you imageless is small, but the chance your new image is worthless due to some configuration issue, is medium.

If you have a large number of devices, you can create a new image definition and upload it just to make sure it works, then run a simple SQL statement to point all devices that used the old image ID to the new image ID.

Not sure what happened, but it blew out the partition on the terminal. Rebuild time. Oh well. Thanks for the tip and I will try that next time it’s ready to be pushed up.

I prefer 10.04 LTS so I’ll have updates to the system for a while. A lot of stuff has been done with Fog on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, so the knowledge base is larger than the new versions. If you wave to be a pioneer, go with the newer ones, but if you need it to work and have lots of resources for problems, stick with 10.04 LTS.

[quote=“Matthias, post: 3326, member: 815”]Hi,

I need some help inserting drivers into the kernel in order to be able to image some of our computer models.

For example, we have Acer S461 models with a ATI Radeon video card. When I remove the card everything works. but with the card I get the snow screen.

I tried compiling a kernel according to the instructions on [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/compiling-a-custom-kernel-for-acer-iconia-tab-copied-from-old-forums.216/[/url]

In xconfig I selected the ATI Radeon drivers. The resulting bzImage then does have a proper video display, but now I don’t have network and the hard drive is not recognized either.

Also I noticed that my custom bzImage is only 5 MB in size while the original one is 12 MB.

So my questions are:

why is my custom kernel so much smaller?

how can I create a kernel that is exactly the same as the original plus the additional drivers?

Thank you in advance,

Matthias[/quote]

I did some research, here are the answers:

my custom custom kernel was smaller because I used the kitchensink config file (fog_0.32/kernel/kitchensink.config)

with the fog_0.32/kernel/core.config file the resulting bzImage was 12 MB.

In xconfig I did the following changes:
-deselect “Device Drivers - Graphics Support - AGPGART (AGP Support)”
-select “Device Drivers - Graphics Support - Direct Rendering Manage - ATI Radeon”.
-deselect the option under ATI Radeon for: “Enable modesetting on radeon by default - New Driver”.

That kernel now works with our Radeon cards.

Regards,

Matthias

Gotcha, will try all this out once I get some data gathered 🙂 Thanks a bunch.

If you’re just talking about changing the IP address to suit the IP addresses for the PCs at your head office. Then you could just refer to this guide.

“Change FOG Server IP Address”

Indeed… I’m using FOG 0.31 on my production system currently.

no, it did not work, when i get some more time i will install Debian again and try a fresh start 😛

I would like to think that you can setup a DHCP server on the server (assuming you are using ubuntu here) without it directly affecting FOG too much. Here’s some basic instructions for installing a DHCP server on it’s own. There may be some modifications you have to change in TFTP, but I can’t guarantee that.

Outside of that, I would point you to this: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Backing_up_FOG[/url]
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Restoring_FOG_from_Backup[/url]

That page will show you at the very least what areas of FOG you can backup and then restore, so that if you do blow out FOG and reinstall, you could easily get your database and images back.
