Ok, solved that. Seemed like another one of those spanning tree issues… 🙂

@Junkhacker and @Sebastian-Roth

Junk was right. Fresh install taking almost all defaults fixed it for me.

Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth Well it looks like I need to pay better attention to the wiki articles. I reinstalled mono, complete this time, and I was able to push a task to the host. The Host still doesn’t show up as online within the host list on fog, but I can live with that.

Thanks again! Now I can replace a fleet of windows signage machines!

@docorange6 Sorry for the late answer.

Looking at the information you posted we see that it handles sda2 (SWAP as we see from type=82) as fixed partition. And because of that I am fairly sure it will resize the boot partition (sda1) back to it’s original size as well.

I can understand that you would prefer it to not touch sda1 at all and I think we have fixed this in the latest scripts already. Please download the latest init files (32 bit and 64 bit) and put those into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ (best to rename the original ones instead of directly overwriting those.

@daguilar if you no longer have the option of exporting from the old server, you’re probably best off just creating each one manually though the interface. just make sure the “Image Path” field and format info matches the info that goes to the files.

@Sebastian-Roth Yes of course. The networking team will let me know.

@airsine Thanks for posting the issue. We don’t seem to have many Mint users and didn’t notice that obviously they have moved to default to PHP 7.2 being pre installed. At least that is my interpretation of the error without actually having looked into it.

If you are not bound to use Mint then see George’s and Wayne’s answers.

If you want to stick to it, try running the installer as php_ver=7.2 ./installfog.sh (note this is just from the top of my head, no promise this is working)

It started working after i disabled selinux…

Wait… Maybe I’ve been going at this wrong.

Am I supposed to manually register each computer I image? I assumed the client would register the computer in the FOG server. My bad if so, I’ve looked at the quick register settings, enabled it but that isnt bringing new clients on to the server

@fhrivers That did it. I assumed that since I could browse this site, I didn’t need to add it to the web filter. I’m up and running! Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth that fixed it. I just tested it by booting a laptop off PXE and it works great. I am now capturing an image. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

@mig39 I am wondering which version of FOG are you trying to install? I remember we had this issue long time ago and the current installer should install those packages for you - see here!

The line numbers we see in the error messages above don’t match those in the current scripts. So I am fairly sure you are not using the latest FOG version 1.5.5!?

@lsdingo Well, there is your answer. There are no partitions on this disk. There is nothing FOG can upload/capture.

Should an OS be installed on this (VM) disk? From my point of view it’s not!

Is your fog server behind a proxy server or does the fog server have direct access to the internet?

@Sebastian-Roth said in Unallocated space:

df -h

Looks like i’m good to go. Thanks very much for all your help. I will save the commands for future reference.

@Sebastian-Roth I ended up fixing this issue myself. I had made an error in the capture process. I’ve got everything working properly now. Thanks for the help.

@Sebastian-Roth So far I’ve tried a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install, and I’ve even used LVM and just captured as non-resizable with 0 issues. Now while this wasn’t Ubuntu 18, I did notice the machine I had the issue on originally is unable to install this OS due to something being wrong with the “file system” on the disk which for some odd reason it couldn’t format, delete, or write to. It is an SSD, and I couldn’t recreate this issue on any other box. I ran various SSD diagnostics with no errors being found so I’m stumped. I haven’t gotten to try with the exact iso posted above just yet - doing production stuff lately since I’m alone in IT currently.

@jeevan517 Please provide more information on what’s not working or what you need help with.

Fixed. I needed to run the command “service mysql restart”

@sbenson No, we don’t use Avahi/LLMNR in FOG. The FOG installer does not set this up so I suppose you installed/configured it on the server manually?!
