@Wayne-Workman
thank you very much.

@Arrowhead-IT I figure that I should report that in my recent testing with the latest client I have not had any problems with the client being installed as part of the image. It works as it should. I intend to use the script I posted here as a gpo script to add all the active directory computers on my network to fog in one quick click.

@Wayne-Workman thaks.

Well, let’s hope that fdisk is not doing any unnecessary checks causing us issues then… 😉

The function itself looks pretty straight forward, I like it this way.

@Arrowhead-IT the size difference is the folder that stores the data for btsync. For git and svn you’re pulling the whole tree, including past revisions. In the case of btsync the initial pull is of the same size as the svn or git pulls but you’re only getting he changed files rather than a whole new revision.

@Tom-Elliott Will we be able to alpha/beta test FOG 2.0? I’d really be interested. 😄

@Tom-Elliott Confirmed, tasks are pulling down the boot files and image data from the correct node consistently, and updating nodes pulls from the newly set node as well. Awesome work, thanks!

@Tom-Elliott

I have a fresh centos VM install that I can use, i’ll have a look today and install SVN trunk from scratch. There could well have been something in the SQL backup restore that SVN didn’t like. I’ll post in a fresh thread so that this doesn’t get polluted too much.

@Sebastian-Roth I believe I found the issue. It wasn’t, per say, a problem, but it was/is.

I’ve done some rewriting to hopefully thwart this problem now. Hopefully I’ve made the DB stuff MUCH more stable as I don’t know what/why there were continuous problems. What I did find out is that INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements do NOT return rows of data, this (I hope/believe) was the problem of 0 ID’s being entered into the DB, as well as invalid hosts being added.

I am hoping that things will be better, for all.

@Tom-Elliott Dude, your so the man!! thanks so much. Just had the same issue…

@Jbob Yes, spawning a new thread was what I was going to try out next. Thanks for the help. 😄

Oh now I see what @olivierl did here… added those tags to the top and bottom.

##FOG-SHARE-START##
##FOG-END-SHARE##

That’s pretty smart.

But I don’t think the new blexports setting should be undone, but I think that this could be added…
In fact something similar is not a bad idea for all of the conf files that fog touches…

For information, I’ve just deployed 24 computers and 2 of them need to reset encryption data (if not, invalid security token in fog.log)

@Tom-Elliott Ok I figured it out. The problem were the comments in the AddHostSerial.hook.php:

/** @var $name the name of the hook */ public $name = 'AddHostSerial'; /** @var $description the description of what the hook does */ public $description = 'Adds host serial to the host lists'; /** @var $author the author of the hook */ public $author = 'Junkhacker with edits from Tom Elliott'; /** @var $active whether or not the hook is to be running */ public $active = true;

Those @var $name Symbols are not very PHP friendly it seems. 🙂

Thanks for the help, Tom. 😄

Thanks !

Reason is that these 3 passwords were identical

Web Interface -> Storage Management -> Your storage node -> Management Username & Management Password Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Server -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME & FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD /opt/fog/.fogsettings -> storageftpuser & storageftppass

But not the local ‘fog’ user’s password on the Linux FOG server

It works like that on previous installation, this time I changed the 3 others passwords to match with local fog user and everything is fine 😉

yes it is

When I used to try to build with IMAGE_PNG it would seemingly fail quite miserably. It should work now for you.

I’ve readded the option and the efi binaries are now all updated as of SVN Version 4031, GIT Commit: 56601f2, and FOG Version: 4704.

Hopefully this is what you all were looking for.

More slow because 10 seconds timeout in hostname.php request.
