@Pablo For your FOG server to get to the internet is a web proxy server required or does the fog server have direct internet access?

You can also use a windows computer and download these two files:
https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.9.4.64
https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.9.4.32

After download rename Kernel.TomElliott.4.9.4.64 to bzImage and Kernel.TomElliott.4.9.4.32 to bzImage32 Make sure you use the exact capitalization I used. Then move these files to the FOG server into the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory.

@Quazz
Thank you for your answer, I did not know that deployed partitions were prorated to captured partitions.
It’s clear for me now

@boomtown said in Interactive PXE Boot setting?:

Is it possible to require a key be pressed before the PXE image will boot so that if nothing is pressed the computer will go to the next device in the boot priority?

Unless I’m missing something here, this is the default. In the iPXE menu the default menu item is boot to the hard drive. If you don’t touch the keyboard during the timeout period the system will select the default menu item and boot the hard drive. You can change what the default iPXE menu item is, but as shipped from the developers, its the boot to hard drive menu.

Now if your target systems are Dells (only system I have) you can use the command and configure utility (i.e. CCTK) to change firmware settings. So you can from a running windows system change the boot order by calling cctk with the proper command line parameters.

@TBuzaTechnician Just a quick update here. I finally found the time to work on this. Currently we have a major set of changes regarding database security in a testing stage. Looks pretty good so far and it will all be part of the next release.

Just in case anyone finds this later, ended up using dnsmasq to make my configuration work using @george1421 's tutorial here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server

Mine was a bit more complicated because I’m running an older version on ubuntu, but @george1421 's tutorial is spot once I got all the other weird things I had to do done lol.

Hello

This is a problem of config switch.
It’s a swtich Level3.

On one AC port works and not on the other.

I send you the config of its ports for info

Thank you for your help

@EricZ said in "Database connection unavailable":

I navigated to /Home/fogproject and ran the “git checkout dev-branch” and got “not a git repository” error message.

Then you are not using git source code but downloaded tar.gz/ZIP I suppose. While this isn’t wrong it’s just that you cannot switch between development and master branch as mentioned.

As well I am wondering if you are using the fogproject user to login? Don’t do that! It’s intended to be a service account and should not be used!

@Tom-Elliott Please ignore my previous post about this. I gave up on my current installation and reinstalled CentOS 8 and then tried to reinstall FOG again. I found a very useful Wiki article for CentOS7 and followed that. I posted a new issue elsewere in the forum so this particular problem no longer exists after a system re-install. I would post a new thread but I don’t know how. I don’t use forms much so I don’t know enough about them. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting folks to be so responsive on here (based on my previous experience with message boards) and I thank you for taking the time to reply.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you! I can confirm this fixed the issue. Snap-ins are deploying successfully and the tasks are clearing.

@Tom-Elliott said in Failure in Capturing an image:

@ismith-hpu But the machine, indeed, does have an OS on the disk? I can only assume the -a0 is a part of the problem. I don’t know what the argument is doing for the 0.3.12 version of partclone.

It’s to ensure compatibility with 0.2.89 images, allowing them to be deployed with 0.3.12.

0.2.89 had a broken checksum system, so we force it disabled on 0.3.12 in order to allow those images a normal deployment. It’s also faster and slightly smaller images, certainly not complaining about that part.

It is curious that 0.3.12 doesn’t seem to work in this instance, though I wonder if a non-resizable (not raw) capture has been tried?

@Daniel-Miller Thanks Daniel. They use puppet. I’ll shoot them an email.

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

@Tom-Elliott said in Backing up database Failed on install:

git checkout dev-branch

@Rogsninja As Tom said, you need to use the latest dev-branch version as there were issues due to the CentOS 8 release that came out after we had published 1.5.7 (latest official FOG version).

About install errors in general: The installer creates logs. Please take a look at /root/fogproject/bin/error_logs/fog_error_1.5.7.log and post the full content or a least the last 10 lines of that file here in the forums.

@Foglalt Yes new thread please. We like to keep one issue per thread so not to confuse future readers.

@LittleTux

How i can pass this post on Solved ?

Done. Glad it worked

okay thanks for the reply

@Sebastian-Roth the boss wants it updated…

@Baessens We there is nothing wrong with what there. What I see is a different version of undionly.kpxe for FOG 1.5.5 and 1.5.7. So the recommendation as a test take undionly.kpxe from the working FOG server and copy it over (renaming the original first) to the not working fog server then pxe boot.

If the problem goes away on the not working fog server then the problem is with undionly.kpxe if the problem stays then its with the different version of hyper-v

@Tom-Elliott This did resolve the issue.

@Keating178 The Invalid Storage Group error you were seeing should be fixed if you can upgrade to the latest within the dev-branch from GIT.

Hopefully this will fix the issue you were seeing too.

@george1421 said in issue with netcard of dock gen2 of lenovo l390:

@JJ-Fullmer The r8152.c from the torvalds github site failed to compile on 4.19.65, I’m suspecting its for a later release of linux. The version from the torvalds site was 1.10.10. The version in 4.19.65 was 1.9.9 of the realtek driver.

I was able to compile the realtek driver from the wget github site. This version is 2.12. Here is a link to that kernel with the 2.12 driver built in. I also enabled the usb-c code in the kernel that appears to have not been set. I don’t know if its relevant, but it should be on for other applications. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wZwwOwbEr0nR3mnPLKg7AsulwJaGhO0A

Download this as bzImageRT (watch your case) and copy it to the ipxe directory with the other kernel images. Manually register the host and then in the host definition add in bzImageRT as the kernel for that host. Then pxe boot into FOS Linux debug mode to see if the network adapter inits correctly with this updated driver.

@John-L-Clark I realize that this is a few months old, but this problem sounds similar. Give this solution a try, download the kernel @george1421 made and set it on that host. It worked for me with the lenovo usb-c ethernet adapter, I imagine you’re using that or a similar adapter, this kernel fixed the issues we were having with the L390 and X390
