@george1421 Hi.
So your file come through fine
$ wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

But i still get the binaries failed line when running the install.

So close…

@nvdp2002 The installer uses curl instead of wget but both usually make use of the same environment variables. Please try this:

curl -ko /tmp/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64 https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

@Sebastian-Roth Hi, That worked aswell.

$ curl -ko /tmp/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64 https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.4.19.6.64

@nvdp2002 So if curl is working then so should the fog installer. It is still failing?

[nvdp2002]

@george1421 Yes still failing.
This was the last line in the log file:
Apr 29 12:33:54 vmubuntu systemd[1]: Starting MySQL Community Server…
Apr 29 12:33:55 vmubuntu systemd[1]: Started MySQL Community Server.
ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation ALTER USER failed for ‘root’@‘127.0.0.1’

Does that help ?

[george1421]

@nvdp2002 well now that tells us you got passed the downloading issue and now for some reason mysql is giving you a problem.

Since you are running on ubuntu, I guess we can assume that this issue is coming into play. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy

The issue is fog assumes that the root user shouldn’t have a password where if it does the mysql commands will fail. Ubuntu is changing the default when an update is applied so fog is now out of sync with what ubuntu installed.

@nvdp2002 said in Downloading binaries needed..... Failed!:

ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation ALTER USER failed for ‘root’@‘127.0.0.1’

This might be ok on Ubuntu. I am not exactly sure at the moment. We try different mysql commands at that stage and one or the other might fail.

Please take a picture of the installer output you see on screen as well so we know exactly where it fails.

@Sebastian-Roth

Hi Sebastian, Sorry for the slow response.
Ive attached the log files.

That seems to have the same output.

foginstall.log fog_error_1.5.5.log

@nvdp2002 The last we see in the log is Is the MySQL password blank? (Y/n) - how do you answer the question? Do you know the password of your database? Is it blank or set?
