Win7x64 : Golden Image : partitions problems ... again
-
@Jonathan-Cool Did you switch to a fixed size as I suggested in the previous thread?
Though, I don’t see how that would cause this exact problem, to be honest.
It’s very weird that you get :2 in fixed_size_partitions as I get an empty file on my W7 French installs instead. Did you assign a label to the
drive per chance?It seems like our efforts haven’t quite made the difference I hoped yet. The regex matches in my bash tests, but doesn’t seem to match in FOS in a real world scenario. I’m rather baffled as to why that is, though.

Did you assign a label to the drive per chance?Yes, my
drive is named “System” into my Golden Image … https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48PuYLEHxQLUEU5clJOZC1Vb3c/viewMaybe this name is confusing FOG ?
-
@Jonathan-Cool Ideally it shouldn’t cause any problems, but because the label system seems to be having some issues, it might be a good idea to remove it before capture at least.
That should leave you with an empty fixed_size_partitions file I think…
Still doesn’t answer why the system reserved isn’t matching, it doesn’t really make any sense to me off the top of my head.
-
I will try to remove this label on the C drive and recapture the image … and try a new download on the optiplex 7050.
I will be back !

@Jonathan-Cool My “fuck this shit” solution atm is the following if you’d like to try it
Note that this is experimental and can cause issues on systems with odd labels so use at own risk… but
sed -i -e "s#\\[Rr\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Ss\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Rr\\]\\[Vv\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Dd\\]#[Rr]*[Ss][Ee][Rr][Vv]#gi" /bin/fog.upload sed -i -e "s#\\[Rr\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Ss\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Rr\\]\\[Vv\\]\\[Ee\\]\\[Dd\\]#[Rr]*[Ss][Ee][Rr][Vv]*#gi" /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.shThis seems to allow the regex to match at least, of course it’s far less precise now. Still don’t know why it hates é so much, but that seems to be the issue unfortunately.
Should also work on English and Dutch systems I think.
-
So after some testing, I think the main problem was the case pattern matching not being able to match for some reason in FOS. (works fine on my server, however)
I’ve updated my commit to change it to the if pattern matching instead (which I already tested actually works in FOS).
Don’t know when/if it gets merged, but that should resolve issues for French Windows installs at least.

@Quazz
Hi.
I can try to remove my C label partition and see the result or it’s not necessary anymore ?
Same question for the last “sed” you proposed …Maybe my best option is waiting the fix in a next release … ?
-
@Jonathan-Cool I’d recommend trying both and seeing if it resolves your problem.
I don’t know when/if the PR will get accepted, could be a while.
updated the sed because the escapes got removed again.
-
@Quazz Thanks heaps for testing and your pull request. Really weird that it was that hard to figure out for the French accents… Looks pretty good to me although I can’t test it.
@Jonathan-Cool I will see if I can manage to build and upload fresh init files in the next couple of days. This way you wouldn’t need to use the sed stuff.

(line concerning funcs.sh)
After your answer, i will try :
- to update my fog.postint
- remove my C label
-
@Jonathan-Cool It’s not a mistake, although you could write the line differently since that’s an if regex pattern match, which does work.
*means any character in pattern matching, which includes é of course
It worked for my images anyway, so hopefully you can reproduce those results.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Thanks, I probably should have looked into it earlier, but don’t always have the time for such things.
What are your thoughts on https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12428/win7x64-golden-image-partitions-problems-again/29 as an alternative system, by the way?
Potentially we could combine multiple systems to increase accuracy and reliability, too.

Today, i’m the very happy french of the world … 'cause it’s WORKS !
I tried on o7010, o5050 and o7050 and it’s works !
Wahouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I just want to say many thanks to you both and i think, it’s not enough … !Long live to FOG Project
fog.postinit :
sed -i -e "s#\[Rr\]\[Ee\]\[Ss\]\[Ee\]\[Rr\]\[Vv\]\[Ee\]\[Dd\]#[Rr]*[Ss][Ee][Rr][Vv]#gi" /bin/fog.upload sed -i -e "s#\[Rr\]\[Ee\]\[Ss\]\[Ee\]\[Rr\]\[Vv\]\[Ee\]\[Dd\]#[Rr]*[Ss][Ee][Rr][Vv]*#gi" /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.shLabel on C drive removed on the Golden image.
Happy Face
Solved !!
-
@Jonathan-Cool Glad to hear it’s working
Hopefully this will be fixed in the inits soon enough too. -
@Quazz Thanks again for your work on this! I’ll add this soon but have one more question about it, see on github.

Good you reminded me on this! I moved the issue from repo fogproject to fos#18 where it belongs now that we have those things separated a while ago. Please let’s try to collect information and ideas there.
@Jonathan-Cool Nice you got it working! We’ll add Quazz pull request anyway for the time being. Should be in there in the next couple of days. I’ll mark this solved now.
