  @dirtysoc Thanks for posting. This is fixed in dev-branch already. As well we have fixed another issue on Raspbian Buster in dev-branch (compiling udpcast). Both fixes will be in the next release.

  @jc35 Got around to hopefully get this fixed. Before officially releasing it we need more testing. Please download https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.11.19/SmartInstaller_Linux_stop_hang_fixed.exe and test on your Ubuntu 18.04 install. I have tested on pre-20.04 myself and therefore don’t have a clue if this updated fog-client will run in Ubuntu 18.04 using .Net 4.5.2 now. Please give it a try and let us know.

  I have a tutorial on how to (reuse) fog to be used as a netboot server here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images For PXE booting you need to have a dhcp server where you can configure dhcp options 66 and 67. If you are in a home lab with a soho router then you should install dnsmsaq onto your fog server to provide pxe boot info in place of your soho router. Your soho router will still provide dhcp services, just dnsmasq will provide the netboot into. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server As for virtual box settings, I don’t know.

  @danieln So if you key in http://10.50.0.218/fog does it display any page or error message? Displaying the default apache page is great. That tells you the web server is installed and operational.

  Okay, now the client gets the information from the server without error and can execute a task launched from the server. Thanks a lot.

  Q

  I believe you have to modify the client OS to support being booted over iSCSI, though I have limited experience with it. I could be wrong, but I think by default iSCSI isn’t included in the initramfs of Ubuntu. Perhaps this https://apfelboymchen.net/gnu/notes/booting ubuntu iscsi.html could be helpful. (at least the client info) All that said, NFS boot is likely to be a lot more straightforward to implement and I use that method quite often.

  @Daniel-Miller Thank you, I’m learning both Cent and Fog at the same time, challenging but interesting, I couldnt find why I had 127Gb total storage but only 27Gb was being shown in Fog GUID so I ended up re-building the server. Appreciate the info though.

  @Dv27842 said in Installing FOG on Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop: Synology NAS Setting this up is fairly advanced! You are better off just using a simple setup with just one FOG server (including it’s own storage) in a VirtualBox I’d say. Play with this and when you are ready take the next step.

  @Base2Nathan Good to hear you figured it out. You might wonder why the config George suggested doesn’t use option tftp-server-... and option bootfile-name at all. There are two places in DHCP packets where PXE boot information can be placed. One is DHCP options as you have used them. But there is also next-server and filename what are fields within the DHCP header information. Take a closer look at the wireshark dump…

  @marted Let us know if you need any further assistance. Please describe exactly when steps you take! Not just “delete the windows boot manager and keep only grub2” but give us all the details like commands and such! It seems you are preparing a very custom setup here and we need to know all the details to be able to help you.
