Black screen when attempting to Perform full registration and inventory on Dell Latitude 5580
-
@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.
-
@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.shscript 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.
-
@george1421 OK, I have the newest GIT version downloaded… Heading back to the office to install it. Will report back soon

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?!?

@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 Lets make sure your kernels are current first, please.
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 lets also confirm that the correct path is /var/www/ html/ fog/service/ipxe
-
@george1421 From FOG’s Configuration page:
bzImage Version: 4.13.4 bzImage32 Version: 4.13.4 -
@lukebarone well that is much more consistent than what you had before. I was thinking that
4.13.6was 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.
-
Well let me say, this is CRAZY!!
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?

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

Well I managed to get my fog serever/kernel updated to 4.13.4 thinking that the newest kernel had a bug, but that also boots on the 7280 into full registration.
… wait a second. You said you had 0.30 not too long ago. What exactly do you have configured for dhcp option 67 {boot-file}?
