@george1421 I found a device that was running a second DHCP … thanks for your help, the capture and deployment works now

@zaboxmaster said in USB to ethernet adapter:

I know this has been covered multiple times, but I have tried various methods, from the API post-deployment to remove the host to the I.M.I option or the I.M.C option. I cannot seem to get it right.

I am afraid we can’t help you without more details. Please start by telling us the FOG version you use. Then let us know in more detail what exactly you’ve tried and what didn’t work (error messages, pictures, …).

There has been discussion about using a different identifier (other than MAC address) which would help in your case. But there is some major work to be done and no one seems to find the time to do it: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/198

@sebastian-roth when George says this

mkdir -p /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys
cd /opt/fog/secureboot/

sudo efi-readvar -v PK -o /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys/hw_PK.esl
sudo efi-readvar -v KEK -o /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys/hw_KEK.esl
sudo efi-readvar -v db -o /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys/hw_db.esl
sudo efi-readvar -v dbx -o /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys/hw_dbx.esl
sudo chmod 666 /opt/fog/secureboot/hwkeys/*

He says he got the certs above on a debian instance running on a hardware pc,

What about if this a Ubuntu vm?

@chaonatic said in Lenovo x1 Carbon Gen 7, 8 & 9 USB NIC Issues:

Okay, I changed the boot file name and it did do the 10 second delay, but it’s still not PXE booting off of a USB-C NIC or the dock. Any other ideas I could try?

OK then I may ask you to hit the s key on your keyboard when asked to do so. Wait for another 30 seconds and then key in the following commands, take a picture and post here:

ifstat dhcp net0

@inger Well we really need to isolate just the fog server and target computer on the same network switch. Right now we don’t know where the problem is. It sounds like a network issue. I assume both the fog server and target computer nics are in working order, so we need to look at what is in between. So my recommendation is to start small and see if it works. If yes then start expanding the scope of devices.

At this point I don’t think its the fog server at fault, but something in the infrastructure. I’m not trying to point blame some place other than fog, it just seems like an intermittent network issue.

@dawnofsoap Thanks for bringing this up again. I should really push out a new release when I find the time over X-mas.

@cul3r0 said in Fog Server CA Download:

How do you recompile your own client binaries? Is there documentation on that?

You can find information on all the tools and stuff you need in our github project readme though it’s kind of dated (older versions).

I have been quiet because I am looking into re-designing the whole thing to make it a lot easier. Please be patient a little longer.

I’m managed to resolve this.

It was the “Hide Menu” option in fog config.

I don’t seem to be able to interrupt when using uefi.

@ombreit I think one of use is confused. I will raise my hand here.

The normal process is to:

Create an image definition in the FOG Web UI. PXE boot a source computer and register the computer with FOG. The source computer will be used as your golden or master image. You will then in the web ui connect the new computer with the imaged definition. In the web ui you will then schedule a capture task. You will pxe boot the target computer and capture or upload the golden image to the FOG server.

When you do step 5, in the picture you last show, the image size on client value will be set. The picture tells me you have not uploaded an image yet to the FOG server.

Also from the picture you gave us with lsblk the source computer does not have an image on the disk. So there is nothing to upload to the FOG server.

So I don’t understand where is your golden or master image coming from?

Thanks it saved my day.

@jonathan-cool Fun fact … : if i check this option, the speed deploy is “normal” BUT the post deploy result of a beautiful BSOD … “INACESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE”.

If i go back to the BIOS and uncheck this feature, the SYSPREP works …
So … slow speed or BSOD ? The choice is hard … !

@renanrenan Well now start the debug capture by hitting ENTER twice, then run the command fog to start off and go ahead confirming every step via ENTER.

@dejv said in cannot find disk on system (getHardDisk):

we still need to change to ahci?

Yes this is an Intel and Linux kernel developer issue. There is no resolution at this time.

@Pilar Well the issue this topic is about was solved. May I ask you to open a new topic for this new question. We try to keep things sorted so other people will find information and help more easily.

In that new topic post a picture of the settings you changed to move the image storage location as well as a picture of the error when capturing an image. We’ll tell you what’s missing.

@sebastian-roth this was before i figured out how to view my open forums. I apoligize , please delete or ignore or mark skip. Thank you

@sebastian-roth said in Setting up trusted SSL certificate:

One more thing I missed to tell you. In case you want to use the fog-client software as well you will run into issues with your custom certificate. If you need to know more about this, I can give you the details.

i’d love to know more details about this. Thank you.

@nockdown said in Error(5): Could not map attribute 0x80 in inode 23779: Input/output error:

As I understand this option impacts to partition shrinking and so to image size. Am I right?

Yes. Although it’s probably increasing the size of the image files on the server only by a fraction. Not to worry about I reckon.

@epix Yeah I’ve never seen that wiki instructions. My setup was done ignorant of the settings in that document.

Just be aware that using a windows server as a storage node is not supported by the FOG developers. That doesn’t mean it won’t work but windows servers were never tested and approved by the developers. But neither is using a NAS but that works too.

@george1421 well… i figured it out… 😥
one of my old servers suddenly booted up without me noticing, with another fog sever and it seems that is used that one instead of my current one. sooooo… i’m sorry for wasting your time!

@ombreit It would be a bit more helpful to see the complete command. But it appears your /images/ImgWin10 directory is empty. Did you capture a golden image to this directory before you tried to deploy?
