No network interfaces found when deploying Image

@sysadmin Boy that amazon picture is so bad I can’t tell (visually) what that connector is. From searching the text it appears to be a lenovo unique cable that just extends the build in network adapter wires to an external rj45 jack.

@george1421 I think this one might be better.

So I get this. Hope it helps.

For the hardware ID there were 4 values in there under device manager.

@sysadmin said in No network interfaces found when deploying Image:

8086:0d4f

Interesting that device comes back to
vendor: 8086 (“Intel Corporation”), device: 0d4f (“Ethernet Connection (10) I219-V”)

First introduced into the linux kernel 5.5. You should have downloaded and installed 5.6.7 of the FOS Linux kernel, that should have worked.

From the FOS Linux console, key in uname -a It should print out a version number. Is that version number 5.5 or later?

I can see from the ip a command that the driver for that network adapter isn’t loaded. Lets confirm the version of the kernel that is running. If you still have the 4.19.x series then I understand why its not working.

@george1421 It seems I have 4.19.123 x86_64. However when I ran the script I thought I updated.

If I try to update through the FOG GUI I get this error. Not sure what credentials I should be using under TFTP Server.

Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 464, Message: ftp_login(): Login incorrect., Host: 10.10.20.20, Username: fog

@sysadmin Ok this is going to be a problem once we get past the kernel issue, but that explains why the network adpater isn’t working, simply because linux 4.19.x doesn’t have a valid driver installed.

To address the FTP password problem, follow this tutorial: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-password

Something seems to have gotten out of place.

If this doesn’t work we can always download the kernel manually, but as I said you will run into an issue on the next image capture you do.

@george1421 Thank you for your help. I’ll continue with this tomorrow. I have to run some errands and eat something, I’ve been at it for a couple of hours. Thanks again.

@george1421 morning. Yesterday I started on this. When I got to step 8 it seems I installed Fog here /opt/fog_stable/bin/installfog.sh.

I get the following error. I don’t recall ever getting this message.

root@fog2:~# /opt/fog_stable/bin/installfog.sh

 * Are you sure you wish to continue (Y/N) Y

[sysadmin]

@george1421 I assume that the only way to repair this is to reinstall Fog. I am not sure where to start to do this manually. Any pointers?

[george1421]

@sysadmin How did you create this directory /opt/fog_stable Did you clone it from the git repository? Your error is not a very common one or one I’ve personally seen before.
