  you need to speak to microleaks, blackout or Chuck Syperski,

  also how about getting it on to [url]http://www.turnkeylinux.org/[/url] this should help spread FOG even further they are also tied in with [url]http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve[/url]

  Sorry to necropost, but I came across this same issue with my PVE host and thought that others may find this thread via google (as I did) and I wanted to add my 2c.

  FOG kernel support or a custom kernel are probably the ideal solutions, but a quick and dirty workaround is to remove the Virtio vHDD from the VM and reload the .raw file as IDE. Everything then works as expected!

  Correct. It seems to have no problem with a system that has been sysprepped.

  [quote=“Matthew Hood, post: 8958, member: 353”]I also have a Raid 5 with 6 drives but they are older drives, I would be in a lot of trouble if something happened and we lost data. We have over 30 images which as you know is a lot of man hours to recreate them. I know there is a backup script that comes with the previous versions of FOG is there one for .32?[/quote]

  Maybe this would work, I modified the backup scripts a while ago, but YMMV

  [QUOTE]
  what you want to do is create a new image, say existing one is initrd.img and we’ll call the new one init. To create an image with a max size of 50 megs

  dd if=/dev/zero of=/init bs=1M count=50
  mke2fs /init (answer yes to the question it asks)
  mount -o loop /init_old /mnt/img
  mount -o loop /init /mnt/img2
  cp -Rp /mnt/img/* /mnt/img2
  <now add whatever other files you want to /mnt/img2>
  umount /mnt/img
  umount /mnt/img2
  gzip init

  Now you have a new larger image as init. There are other ways to do it but this is by far the easiest/safest in my opinion (been doing it all day trying to install rhel as 2.1 to install on an unsupported SAS controller).

  We don’t have a release date for FOG 0.33 at this point. FOG 0.33 isn’t just a collection of bug fixes or feature updates, it’s a complete rewrite of the underlying code structure, so it’s not like we can say “feature X will have to wait until next time”. The standard response is “it’ll be released when it’s ready”.

  I can find inactive accounts in AD, that’s simple. I need to find a relatively easy way to compare that to the inventory that FOG outputs. Then I will be able to tell which hosts I need to delete from FOG and/or AD.

  As I said the easiest way would be for FOG to report when the last time hosts checked in which should be rather simple utilizing the FOG client.

  Edit: Just thought, you might actually mean that you want to register the mac at the client computer. All you do in that case is choose quick or full registration from the PXE boot menu on the client PC

  [quote=“djm79, post: 8006, member: 1568”]I’m trying to understand how the snapins work code wise. I’m wanting to try to implement a location based pull for the fog client much like the multi location patch. [/quote]

  That sounds like a good project. I’d wait until 0.33 comes out, or just download that code on a spare machine and start working on it. 0.33 is unlikely to change dramatically before release (Right, Blackout?), but it is likely that whatever solution you find for 0.32 will need to be rewritten for 0.33.

  Keep us updated on your efforts. If you get it working perhaps you can post a FAQ with your code.

  You need to look into the way fog does it now. I believe it calls one of the scripts under {webdir}/fog/service/, passing in as POST arguments the information needed to create the task in the database and file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/

  If you expand out the /tftpboot/fog/images/init.gz (instruction on wiki), and look into the /bin/fog folder, you’ll see the fog.man.reg file, which is what runs when you choose the Full Host registration and inventory from the PXE boot menu. If you can look through that file, you can see how the script is calling the page which creates the imaging task, and you can replicate that in whatever program you are wanting to interface with FOG.

  one is based off of rhel the other ubuntu so it won’t be as easy as getting those images into the init/bzimage as both os’s handle splash/init a bit differently but I’ve taken apart init enough times and am fairly familiar with ubuntu so I think I should be able to marry the two without too much of a headache and in the end we can/will have a usb/cd bootable image that can come in handy aside from loading via pxe.

  What OS? On Ubuntu 10.04, phpmyadmin installs fine.

  If you installed MySQL during the FOG install and you followed the instructions, then there is not root password for FOG. Otherwise, it’s the password you told it to use for root during the FOG install.

  It’s whatever password you have to use if you type:
  [CODE]mysql -u root -p[PASSWORD][/CODE]

  The biggest problem is that partimage images will not work with partclone.

  partimage has not been updated in years, where partclone is still under development.

  Nevermind me. I figured out what the different parts being recompiled actually do. Maybe next time I’ll wait until after my morning caffeine has kicked in to ask questions like this :rolleyes:

  Find a kernel that supports your video cards. Most of the kernels available through fog support multiple video chipsets. Sometimes the KitchenSink (KS) kernels work better. Use the Kernel updater portion of the WebUI to try different kernels until you find one that works best. If you are up to it, compile a custom kernel that supports your hardware. It’s a bit scary for a beginner, but after doing it once or twice, it gets a lot easier.
