Testers

@Tom-Elliott Thank you for the reply, just so I’m sure the FOG Client will or will not update/create inventory data on its own?

If I remember correctly, if the fog client is installed it will report inventory back to the FOG server. If the target computer had never been imaged by FOG these additional client created hots need to be approved before they are added into inventory. Its been a while (we don’t use the fog client here), but I thought there was a message about pending hosts when you were in the host management pages.

Lets start out with making sure the firmware (bios) is at the latest release for this device. We’ve seen some pretty buggy early release firmware from Lenovo. Even if it doesn’t address this issue its not a bad idea to be on the latest bios release anyway.

@guilux Sorry I’m late to get back to this thread, but I’m glad you found the troublemaker!!

I was going to tell you that now you have the mac address you can go to your network team and have them look at the mac tables to find out what port that device is connected to. That is the way to track it down. But you find it, so great!

@nvdp2002 You may also need the https line. If you key those in per session (instead of adding them to the profile) you will need to key them in for each session.

Does your proxy server require authentication or is it a straight proxy?

You can test if the proxy settings work correctly by issuing this command (assuming that wget is installed in your linux OS)
wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

That will download the latest kernel to the current directory on your fog server. You don’t need the file, its just to test to ensure the proxy connection is working correctly

I’m going to say you have 2 dhcp servers on your network. Also since you are getting 192.168.1.1, I’m also going to predict you have a soho router/access point on your network.

If the fog server and the target computer are on the same subnet (vlan) we can use the fog server to find out for sure if this is the case. You will have to do a little (not much) setup: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue

You can either load the pcap into wireshark and look to see if you have 2 dhcp offers. If so you do have 2 dhcp servers on your network or upload the pcap to a file share site and post the link here and we can review it for you.

@tripleh You can define the target hard drive in the host configuration. Just define /dev/sda in the parameter. If you need to target the second hard drive then you will need to update this parameter.

@Snow said in Full Reg mod - postinit script issue.:

/bin/fog: bin.fog.man.reg: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: no file/dir

Ah someone edited that linux file with a windows text editor…

There is a utility that you need to install on your FOG server, its called dos2unix : http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/ Use this utility to scrub your fog.man.reg file to get rid of all of the bad stuff windows puts in there.

Next time if you want to edit this bash script on windows use notepad++ and not windows notepad.

Did you change the IP address of the fog server after FOG was installed? It appears that to be that way.

@nvdp2002 Did you setup your linux console command line parameters to use a proxy server? These are typically added to your profile bash script, or executed manually in each session.

export http_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export https_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export ftp_proxy=http://<proxy_server_ip>:<proxy_server_port>
export no_proxy=<fog_server_ip>
