  @walkerit To expound a bit on @Quazz 's comment, I ran into this yesterday myself. There’s two different config locations that I found needed to be updated. One of them I’m led to believe will only come into play if you update the server, but the other (export? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_NFS_location) is what was causing my permission issues. Hope that clears it up when you do change your storage location. Philip

  An update, solved. There were two issues. The timezone issue was resolved by setting the Centos system to to UTC and Fog’s ‘TZ INFO’ setting to UTC. Don’t know why setting to ‘UTC’ worked and not with the same settings using ‘EDT’ <shrug>. Once we catch up on our imaging I’ll try to revert back to our timezone and see if this is merely an annoying warning or if it still causes a fatal error. The second issue was the user ‘fog’ passwords were not consistent, system vs. Fog account. So when Fog completed the imaging and during the ‘Updating Database’ routine the ftp login failed and threw ‘Error returned: Type 2’. We are now able to image Window 10 clients for the first time! Thanks everyone for your help! Scott

  @timo You can restart apache2, the effects won’t last long though. When you can get into the web gui, you should go to Storage Management -> your storage node -> Max Clients and set this to something like 1 or 2. This will limit how many snapins run at once - and will allow your fog server to operate normally while the snapins run.

  @stylus3530 In fact, you can deploy a 1.2.0 image and re-capture with 1.5.2. All you need to do is not allow the image to boot. Once deployed, immediately re-capture and all should work fine.

  @kleber I’d recommend removing the background image via the GUI under Settings | iPXE General Config. I just removed the background image name from that field entirely. The default background prevented certain machines from being able to boot for me as UEFI. Figure its a quick enough thing to check. Are there other machines that do boot ok with your setup or are you not able to boot any machine via iPXE? Do the machines you have issues on have any BIOS settings specific to PXE booting (enabling it, authentication, etc)? If you you may want to check the configuration there. Have you tried UEFI boot instead of BIOS boot, I have found sometimes the error is more descriptive in one vs the other (or even that one way has no error and the other does). I have found it especially helpful to have a camera/phone camera with high speed video recording, ie 120/240 fps and record the screen after I make my selection to catch any brief messages on screen.

  @stylus3530 yes the client does have renaming for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. Windows has the benefit, however, of the host name early working from the imaging context.

  @veresh The commit says the packages were added to enable compilation of iPXE binaries. As far as I understand the compiled iPXE binaries are (still?) pulled from the repository anyway, so I guess it’s to allow for updating (or modifying) the binaries manually without updating FOG

  @coconutdog what this is telling me is the installer can’t detect your nic, which is why it’s stuck in a loop for you. I will try relatively soon to get 18.04 support added, but I feel all should understand this is a common thing with Ubuntu releases. Even with Fedora I tend to have less compatibility issues. As @Joe-Schmitt stated, Ubuntu likes to deviate from other distros in their approach on many things. For example, for some reason your network interface is not being detected automatically. We already have two checks and neither of them are returning the interface. Also, installing curl is not possible because it’s looking for libcurl first. That seems like a problem for the package manager to resolve, but I’ll have to figure out a way to do it on my own.
