        @sgwk OK so you are on the FOG iPXE menu and your keyboard doesn’t work. You have the latest stable version of FOG. This means there is an incompatibility between the iPXE kernel and this keyboard hardware.

        1. Are these target computers in UEFI or BIOS (legacy) mode?
        2. Can you get the keyboard to work if you plug it into a USB-2 port vs a USB-3 port? Or to say it another way, does the keyboards work when plugged into the black usb ports vs the blue usb ports?

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @sebastian-roth @GEORGE1421 the kb is usb. all ports are usb 2. I tried different ports and keyboard, too. It is just strange that the kb works later.

            @sgwk said in Keyboard not working on FOG screen (works in bios to select pxe boot):

            elite 8200

            Our working devices list has HP elite 8200 on it… I reckon there is something special in your setup.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                @sgwk I forgot to post in the previous post, is the firmware updated on these target computers? You have multiple systems of the same model some work and some don’t. There has to be something unique about these to cause the variation. Firmware (bois) is one thing.

                  @george1421 I’ll check that the next time. I just rebooted one 10x and the keyboard finally worked on the FOG screen. 🙂

                    @GEORGE1421 I tried to deploy images to 6 more PCs. The ones that have the keyboard problem (5/6) has bios “J01 v02.15” and the one that worked is “J01 v02.06”. It works, if the bios is older.

                      @sgwk Alright, thanks for reporting back. Think we can mark this solved then. BIOS issue… Feel free to post this to the iPXE forum or devel list if you still think this can be fixed within iPXE.

                      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                        @sebastian-roth omg, just “Create New Host” and then create a task to deploy the image you want - I was playing with the last week!
