@Andrew-Seals

This is an FTP issue, and you’re in luck, we have a whole article about just this. 🙂

Pay special attention to the “credentials” section of that - and test with the testing steps at the top.

Let us know how it goes, we are here to help.

@Scott-B

Hello,

I am very excited to be upgraded to the builds, from 1.2 - but I am having the same error. It seems the thread died with a solution if you ar
e behind a proxy, but both Scott and I are not. First, I was aiming for using btsync, but I am running into a permissions error - appears to be btsync itself, something in the config file I found here: https://github.com/tuxpoldo/btsync-deb/issues/182 . I am going to circle back to that error. For now, I used the wget and extracted the tarball. The installer found all of my old settings, but I am stuck adding a repository.

I am running FOG 1.2 on a Debian machine. I am stuck at

Adding needed repository…Failed!
System: Host:XXXXX Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: MATE 1.10.0 Distro: LinuxMint 2 betsy

To me it seams like shrinking btrfs is not much trouble. Although I have to admit that I’ve never ever tried this myself.

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E37355/html/ol_use_case2_btrfs.html and various other sites on the net.

But don’t put any effort into this as long as no one is really asking for this!

To solve my problem I had to correct the /dev/sda3 before upload in debug task :
1/ Add free space before and after partition (2Mo for each)

/dev/sda1 100mb Windows Reserved /dev/sda2 Windows OS free space (2mo) /dev/sda3 Ubuntu OS / free space (2mo) /dev/sda4 Extended Partition /dev/sda5 swap linux /dev/sda6 /data linux (free for use) /dev/sda7 d: Windows (free for use)

Glad you got it solved. How did you add free space between the partitions? I’m curious.

Parted

No problem. I’m generally available.

ok so used that path given and updated to FOG 4489.
now when i run FOG on a new VM i get Operating System not found

The error is on the client or the server ? oO

version 4238 should fix the typo.

Performed the following items in CentOS.

mv /images /home/

ln -s /home/images /images

Now the fog site is reporting correctly.

Thank you!

@Marcus-Allen Look inside of /var/log I had some pretty big files in there too.

Great this worked for me installing FOG on Kubuntu 14.04

Well that was dumb of me. I rebooted the server and everything is working now.

Ok, it is quite simple with grub.

For instance, with a debian jessie:

install ipxe with grub apt-get install ipxe Set the next grub boot to use the ipxe menu grub-reboot 2 Reboot ! reboot

The number to use is the number of the grub entry (counting the submenu) of the pxe entry, starting from 0.

Thank you for your help, I hope the result could help someone in the future.

FOG installs the FOG User when it’s installed.

The GUI is a database. FTP/local unix is a separate user.

If you can login to the Management page, look at Storage Management->Your Storage Node->Management username and password.

That password should be the password your local UNIX FOG user is using.

@Lyendril You can use Magical Jelly Bean keyfinder to extract your key.

Also, if the key is on a sticker on each computer, you could simply just type in this key after each imaging.

If you don’t have a Windows Installation Disk, you could just download one. Enter your key into it and see if it works. If it does not, you could activate over the phone (once) and then take an image of that.

I don’t think it matters so much that each computer is using the key it’s supposed to use - as much as - you have a legal key for each computer that is running said Microsoft product.

+1
In OEM installation, manufacturers use only 1 windows key for all computers (tested on HP), you can saved it (key/certificate) by using ABR (activation backup & recovery - google it) and use it with Windows 7 Digital River download (Not provide anymore by Microsoft but you can find it by another way…).

If you want more details PM me.

Works okay in fog version 3642

that guide is from fog 0.27
it is no longer accurate
the places you will likely need to change the IP address are
in web interface

Fog Configuration>FOG Settings>General Settings>FOG_WOL_HOST Fog Configuration>FOG Settings>TFTP Server>FOG_TFTP_HOST Fog Configuration>FOG Settings>Web Server>FOG_WEB_HOST Storage Management>DefaultMember> IP Address

in files

/tftpboot/default.ipxe /opt/fog/.fogsettings

and, of course, your option 66 in your dhcp server settings

Do you d1.original.swapids?

d1.original.partitions, from the directory listing looks like it has data.

I’ve edited my post, the swapuuids is empty…

@cmcleod

Well… I’m not sure…

Most people don’t even get NAS to work right with FOG so… you should feel lucky lol. I guess just use the Buffalo Terastation’s web interface to keep an eye on your space usage?

@cspence I need to update the old post… the new forum kill my post lol. A script is missing.
