FOG 1.6 Testing Needed - Help would be greatly appreciated as needed

@davido38 The buttons with drop down are still selectable as long as an item is selected. There isn’t, as far as I’ve found, a way to make the drop buttons (split buttons is the real term) colored, so they look greyed out.

@tom-elliott Sweet. Got it working and looks very fresh and feels snappy. I found a couple cosmetic items already but I wanted to ask where would be the best place to inform you of observations or bugs we find? In this thread or private messages? Thanks.

[Tom Elliott]

@jgallo I’d actually recommend opening them up in Bug reports. I’ll create a thread for 1.6 specific things, just post in that thread, similar to the old 0.33b days I guess?

Any chance 1.6 introduces unique identifier? This is the feature I’ve been most waiting on so I can stop dancing around with MAC address settings for hosts.

[Tom Elliott]

@astrugatch It does not currently, not that it can’t be added later though.

This isn’t because we don’t want to, but rather because the UUID field is more unreliable than the MAC Address method. (Not all machines set the UUID, and some even set the UUID to the same for all machines in the model).

[astrugatch]

@tom-elliott

Would System Serial be more reliable, at least with major manufacturers?

[Tom Elliott]

@astrugatch That’s just it, there isn’t a single point that seems to be very solid, so we’re trying to think of a multi tiered approach, it’s just very limited people to do the work load.

Hello,
I try to upgrade my test server to 1.6 version.
But I have a problem with git:
When I try tu update the directory I get : “fatal: ‘working-1.6’ does not appear to be a git repository”

[root@cosinus fogproject]# git checkout working-1.6
Already on 'working-1.6'
[root@cosinus fogproject]# git pull working-1.6
fatal: 'working-1.6' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
[root@cosinus fogproject]# git reset --hard
HEAD is now at d1ea5e5 Fix api for slack return information
[root@cosinus fogproject]# git pull working-1.6
fatal: 'working-1.6' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

@lebrun78 Do just git pull first to update your branch info.

[lebrun78]

[root@cosinus fogproject]# git pull 
Already up-to-date.

But when I execute installfog.sh I have Version: 1.5.4.562 Installer/Updater

[Quazz]

@lebrun78 Does the WebUI look different now after running installfog.sh?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@lebrun78 It’s the new web interface 1.6 (don’t care about 1.5.4.562)

[Tom Elliott]

The steps, typically, would be:

git pull
git fetch --all
git checkout working-1.6

The fetch is probably the more important as it will pull in any new branches and tags. It will not clean older branches though.

@Tom-Elliott

I like the new look! Where can we post requests / bugs?

Thanks!

Wooooooow it looks great! I’ll poke around and hunt for some bugs.

@tom-elliott said in FOG 1.6 Testing Needed - Help would be greatly appreciated as needed:

I know you all have been hearing about our work on 1.6 and maybe even our “kind of” roadmap with 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0.

Is there any specific place we can check this info out? I would be interested to read about future plans. Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

@zer0cool just where I wrote it already. Right now Joe is very very limited in his ability to help with the project so it really is just me at this point. We have our other people but they are very busy as well.

Hey, testing with 1.6 I have found that I’m having trouble creating tasks for hosts. When trying to create any task you get a toast notification in the top right saying ‘Internal Server Error.’

I saw a number of other posts advising to check the apache logs however it doesn’t appear to create an entry when the task creation fails.

Is there other log files I could check for more information?

Im running Centos 7.5 with mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.60-MariaDB.
