Installation stops during setting up fogproject password
-
FEDORA SERVER 30
During the installation, more precisely at “configuring services”,
the installation remains at setting up fogproject password.What can this be?
-
Another option that doesn’t seem to loop forever:
head /dev/urandom | tr -dc '0-9a-zA-Z!#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~' | fold -w12 | shuf -n1What this one does, it breaks at the first new line urandom gives (so much faster return and not infinite loop), pipes that output to tr, folds it to a width of 12 characters, and shuffles the data returned from the fold.
Hopefully this may help?

@Deimos What do you mean by “remains”? Can you post a picture of the output on screen und the last 20 lines of the install error log file here?
-
It’s in the office, but I can remember the output:
if you know your installation echo output, it “stops” or “waits” at:
create foguser________________________________________________done
setting up fogproject password______________________________
-for complete log I have to wait till monday morning-

@Deimos If you look in the directory where you installed fog from in the bin directory (where installfog.sh script is) there should be an error log directory. In that directory is the error logs that explain what happened to the install.

i installed fog 1.5.7 (master-branch) 20 hours ago on a freshly downloaded blank debian 10.1
after correct setup and installatoin i ended up with an ftp-upload-failure (ftp says “wrong username for user fogproject”) after imagecapture.
i checked and saw that linux-user fog cant change passwd. but i can change the password for user fogproject with passwd… tried that and testing now.
really strange. other fog-installatoins worked out of the box…
just checked… there is no user fog after the standard-installation in my linux…!!!

On fog 1.5.6 and later the linux service account name was changed from
fogtofogprojectbecause there were bad instructions on the internet that said to create the linux userfogand install fog using that account. Part of the install script resets the password on the service account (in the older installsfog) and people would loose access to their linux install. As for 1.5.6 and later the service account is nowfogprojectthe password forfogprojectis in the hidden file/opt/fog/.fogsettingsif you need to reference it. -

Yes, thanks. I know this, but the Fedora Server is in the office and it’s weekend. I thought may reply was enough for now. I will post the error log tomorrow in the morning.

Hope, this is enough!
-
@Deimos That doesn’t look like the error log, but it does say that no active internet connection found. Does this fog server have internet access either director via a proxy server?
-
Internet access is behind a proxy. I downloaded the latest Fog via git.
-
@Deimos When you installed fog, did/do you have the environment variables setup so that the fog installer can download the needed OS modules from your linux distro’s repo repository?
-
If you mean the proxy’s IP then yes. If you mean the DNS Server’s IP then yes.
If you mean the queries of the installation script, also yes.

chsh: Shell nicht geändert. Shell für fogproject ändern.To me it seems like the Fedora
chshtool behaves differnetly than in other distros. @george1421 Could you have a look at this part of the installer to see what the call looks like? -
I browsed the forum a bit and found this problem:
Sebastian Roth: *Screw this !!! I think this was because I have not properly disabled SElinux on that machine! Really strange that this would cause a weird thing.
setenforce 0 and now both ways work for me as well. Thanks a lot for testing and your answers!*
The problem: During the first installation I was asked by the FOG to switch off Selinux, which I did.
-
I disabled selinux manually but I’ve still got the same problem.
-
@Deimos I can’t replicate the issue as described. But from my tests I get the impression that the problem could be one of the two following commands. Please run those two on a root shell on your Fedora server and post the output you get here:
password=$(tr -cd '0-9a-zA-Z!#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_{|}~' < /dev/urandom | fold -w12 | head -n1) echo $password echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd fogprojectCopy and oaste the commands so you don’t mess up with the characters!
-
@Sebastian-Roth said in Installation stops during setting up fogproject password:
echo -e “$password\n$password” | passwd fogproject
[root@fog-ls15nb ~]# password=$(tr -cd '0-9a-zA-Z!#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}~' < /dev/urandom | fold -w12 | head -n1) echo $password echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd fogproject [root@fog-ls15nb ~]# echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd fogproject ändere Passwort für Benutzer fogproject. Geben Sie ein neues Passwort ein: Unsicheres Passwort: Kein Passwort angegeben Geben Sie das neue Passwort erneut ein: Kein Passwort angegeben passwd: Fehler beim Ändern des Authentifizierungstoken -
@Deimos Please try again but copy and paste the commands one line after the other. Looks like the random number generator on your system doesn’t return enough data.
Edit: Even better try this single command:
tr -cd '0-9a-zA-Z!#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}~' < /dev/urandom | fold -w12 | head -n1Does it return anything??
