      @george1421 That’s a fair point! Good thing I posted that…

      /var/www/fog/service/ipxe# file bzImage
      bzImage: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.15.6 (root@debian64) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 18 23:58:44 EDT 2, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x5, Normal VGA
      /var/www/fog/service/ipxe# file bzImage32
      bzImage32: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 4.1.0 (root@debian64) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 23 13:28:27 EDT 20, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x6, Normal VGA
      

      I’m out of my network right now, so I can’t confirm from the web site… But I think I may need to chown those files to www-data for the FOG management portal to update… Am I right?

        @lukebarone Just looking at the dates on some of the files, it might appear that you have FOG 1.3.0RC or even the 1.2.0 trunk build. I can’t personally believe that, its only a guess.

        The FOG webgui says you have 1.4.4 installed?

        Hold off on updating them until we understand what is going on. The kernels and the inits should be updated at the same time. We will do this via the linux console once we understand what you have installed.

        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!

          @george1421 OK, here’s the history:

          Started with FOG 0.32. Upgraded slowly, until last week, to a GIT version of 1.33. I was advised to upgrade to the newest version, so I went to the latest regular build, 1.44.

          I downloaded it on my server, unzipped, and used the ./bin/installfog.sh script to install it (accepting the current configuration). Upgraded the database when prompted, then went on my merry way.

          It should be 1.44, all around. It’s no longer on a GIT version.

          Hope this helps

            @lukebarone Is there any chance we can get you to reclone the git repository and rerun 1.4.4 installer? I know the tarball route works, but I’d like to get us back to a know state and not a patched up one. If we have to get the developers on this issue they will require the system to be in a consistent state. I think we can get there and your issues should go away. We’ll get you back on solid ground now we understand what is wrong.

            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!

                @lukebarone said in Black screen when attempting to Perform full registration and inventory on Dell Latitude 5580:

                GIT version downloaded

                The context of this confuses me. Does your FOG server have internet access either direct or indirect via a proxy server?

                  @george1421 If your fog server does have internet access I would prefer if you use this route to install FOG

                  sudo -i
                  git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /root/fogproject
                  cd /root/fogproject
                  cd bin
                  ./installfog.sh

                    @lukebarone Interesting turning point in this thread I see. Just want to add another thing to look at. Please run

                    ls -al /var/www/
                    ls -al /var/www/fog/
                    ls -al /var/www/html/
                    

                    Possibly there is some old link pointing a wrong direction which causes the issue?!?

                    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)

                        @george1421 Yes, that is the method I download with GIT.

                        I followed the instructions, and now have the latest trunk version, SVN Revision 6077. Do you want me to try the Full Registration again?

                                @lukebarone well that is much more consistent than what you had before. I was thinking that 4.13.6 was the very latest, but lets see how well this one works with the 5580s.

                                Never mind I was thinking 4.11.6 which I had to install on my production server to make the surface books to work. Your version is much later.

                                  @george1421 Restarted the computer, boot via UEFI PXE. Select Full Host Registration and Inventory, and it’s still just sitting there 😞

                                    @lukebarone based on what I’m seeing you have 2 installations of fog on your machine. I don’t know which is the default for your setup.

                                      I have a 7280 on my desk for another project, lets make sure I can perform a full registration in FOG.

                                        @george1421 I was able to register the 7080 just fine. I did have to turn off secure boot, and switch the hard disk mode to achi to get FOS to see it. Understand that what I see is not exactly what you are seeing. Your version of the kernels are much newer than mine (I’m running 1.4.4 too) and your hardware is different. I did see where you say the cursor just flashes and nothing, mine did that but then the kernel booted and continued.

                                        I’m going to reinstall FOG 1.4.4 on mine to see if its picks up the newer kernels. But just to confirm you didn’t do anything other than install fog? You didn’t update anything beyond installing FOG?

                                          Yes, I went to the Kernel Update page and selected the newest kernel… It’s a habit I picked up a while ago, but if it’s not recommended, I can run through the install again and let it keep the version that comes with the install script…?

                                          And Secure Boot is still disabled; I never enabled it, and it was disabled by default out of the box

                                            I only see the single site configuration in Apache’s sites-enabled directory, so I assume this is the correct directory that it’s using.
