Chromium Image Issues after Updating Server

[rstockham23]

@george1421 Your comments gave me an idea that I hadn’t tried yet. The images I’ve been using so far are all ones that were originally created in fog 1.3.5. So I went ahead and created an entirely new image file from scratch and uploaded from a working Chromium laptop like I normally would. All messages showed successful for the upload, etc. I then went to download the image to another laptop and got this error message before it started the download:

So it would seem now that with my current server it’s not successfully creating new Chromium images from scratch either.

@rstockham23 Ok, moved posts over. I’ll look into this tomorrow.

@rstockham23 I didn’t find the time to set a whole test system up to try and replicate the issue but looking at the videos and pictures you posted I noticed something. Moving an image from 1.3.5 is one thing. But let’s start with what you posted last. An image taken with FOG 1.4.4 and trying to deploy errors out with No image file(s) found: In that picture I see ... image=2018CloudRetype=down at the end of the kernel command line. The image option is cut and there a quite some options missing. As well mac= is empty. So I am wondering what’s wrong here. Never seen this before.

Can you please post a listing of the image directory: ls -al /images/2018CloudReady and take a screenshot of the image settings in the web UI. Post both here so we can check.

@sebastian-roth Thanks Sebastian. I had since deleted the 2018CloudReady image, but later created another one with the exact same results. It is called NewCloudReady. Below is the contents of it’s directory and attached is a picture of the image setup:

@rstockham23 Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I now got a test setup up and will look into it. Hope I find enough time over the weekend.

[Sebastian Roth]

@rstockham23 Are you still seeing the issue No image file(s) found when trying to deploy a fresh Chromium OS image captured with FOG 1.4.4. I just can’t reproduce the issue. It’s working great for me.

Now about the other things. The ACPI messages in your video tell us that the Linux kernel is not happy with your UEFI firmware but that’s not a real issue. You can ignore those.

About the Partition type/uuid being set to: Since Chromium OS has more than 10 partitions our regular expression match kind of freaked out and found several matches. I will push a fix soon.

The Can not open file '...d1.original.swapuuids' has been another issue that I’ll post a fix. Thanks for bringing those up!

@Tom-Elliott @Joe-Schmitt Please check out the proposed fixes and build fresh inits with those when you have time to do so.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m currently updating the init’s with the requested changes as proposed. Will be a few more minutes or so, sorry.

Hopefully this will fix the partition uuid setting for chromium os (among others).

[Tom Elliott]

Init’s are now uploaded.

If you aren’t willing to jump to the working branch, please run:

wget --no-check-certificate -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz https://fogproject.org/inits/init.xz
wget --no-check-certificate -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init_32.xz https://fogproject.org/inits/init_32.xz

This should get you the latest init’s with the changes @Sebastian-Roth has suggested.

[rstockham23]

Attached is a photo of the error that we’re still getting even after doing a fresh install of the latest version of FOG. I still can’t Capture a Chromium image without getting an error. Same FOG server works just fine with Windows images, etc, but not with Chromium.

@rstockham23 Can you post a screenshot of the image settings?

Are there any special settings for this host? (eg kernel arguments and the like)

[Sebastian Roth]

@rstockham23 Sorry but the important information is not on the picture. Usually there is a message in the blue partclone screen which should give is more hints on what’s wrong. When scheduling the task you can set the checkbox for debug and after the error happens you’ll get to a command shell. There you can check the mentioned log file: cat /var/log/partclone.log
