Had time to run the DB commands and that solved my problem. Thanks.

FOG Project is a new creature to me and despite the challenges I am really enjoying what it can do!

So, it’s still even in FOG 1.4.4…
If you want to deploy debian-based(mint in my case) distribs propertly, i made a
workaround, just copy-paste it in terminal(as root), change sda5 to your swap partition name, right before you get ready to made an image(before clicking the capture button). Then made a capture task and reboot the machine.
[CODE]
echo ‘#!/bin/sh’ > /usr/bin/fst.sh
echo ‘OLDUID=$(grep swap /etc/fstab |grep -v “#” |cut -d’ ’ -f1)’ >> /usr/bin/fst.sh
echo ‘NEWUID="UUID=$(ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ |grep sda5|rev|cut -d’ ’ -f3|rev)"’ >> /usr/bin/fst.sh
echo ‘sed -ie “s/$OLDUID/$NEWUID/” /etc/fstab’ >> /usr/bin/fst.sh
echo ‘crontab -u root -l | grep -v ‘/usr/bin/fst.sh’ | crontab -u root -’ >> /usr/bin/fst.sh
echo ‘rm /usr/bin/fst.sh’ >> /usr/bin/fst.sh
chmod +x /usr/bin/fst.sh
(crontab -u root -l ; echo “@reboot /usr/bin/fst.sh > /dev/nul 2>&1”) | crontab -u root -

[/CODE]

@sebastian-roth

thank you . I will open a new thread and You can mark it as closed.

This is fixed in working branch.

@fall711 said in FOG offline installation:

The problem is that centos repo system use random host with different IP address and some are not allowed.

You can easily specify exactly what mirror you want to use by commenting out the mirrorlist directive inside of all the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files and instead using the baseurl directive. Here’s a writeup on it, there are many others online too:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20390

Just pick a mirror nearby you, and explicitly define that. You will need to do the same for the remi repository as well:
https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/

There is never a problem that cannot be solved.

Although it has been awhile . . . . I discovered that FOG was “seeing” the OS drive as /dev/sdc. Once I changed the “primary drive” to /dev/sdc all functioned properly.

Thank you for your help on this problem (now solved.)

Thank you !!!

@andreiv and is it fixed?

Then you may need to reset the state of your environment.

git reset --hard
git checkout dev-branch
git pull
…

@olivier-c said in Roger.postdonload et variable environnement:

I would like to retrieve the value of the fog group to write in the firefox settings

You mean the group a host is assigned to I guess!? First, one host can be assigned to several groups so this could be an issue. Second, as far as I know this information is not handed to the client yet and I don’t see why we should do so. Third, you should be able to retrieve the information (group name) via an external API call from the FOG backend. Search the forum on how to use the API.

@jackiejack Right, I do have a tutorial for that already written up: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10450/adding-additional-image-storage-space-to-fog-server

@fredlenomade Looking great! Thanks heaps for the detailed explanation on this. The mono keystore is quite a problem on some systems. So it’s great to have this manual on how to make it work in CentOS!

Capturing the screen “lsblk” output from a pxe client, I am not sure how to do? Suggestions?

Schedule a debug capture task for this client. Hit ENTER twice then you can run any command on the shell. Best if you can test mounting the RAID devices as well as getting a picture of lsblk from that shell so we see how FOG sees your system.

@gfontenot Once you fixed what is in the gui, then where you downloaded the upgrade files to, just rerun ./installfog.sh script again.

@sebastian-roth
Thanks that worked for it!

Thanks for staying on top of this, they never asked back, I guess they just accepted that thats something we needed. 🙂

@clickwir Any news on this?

@Vinay Any news on this?

@Sebastian-Roth I’d like to point out that i was using sudo mono smartinstaller.exe --uninstall between running the next install. (Which should stop the service) I don’t know if that would make a difference?

I have also found a little niggle with the deploy system. I will be making a new thread in a couple mins

@george1421 said in Apache Issue:

@avaryan Interesting, how many computers do you have checking into this FOG server?

I don’t know the exact number, but likely more than a thousand. There’s over 2,500 Windows computers in AD that would have the client on it.

Anyway, it’s been about 4 hours now and the web ui is still running well. I’d say that solved the issue.
Bonus: Got the FOG server updated.
