@kevinnew22 What version of FOG are you using? You might consider switching to the dev branch of 1.5.9 where issues like this one have been mostlikely fixed.

You’re running the latest stable version: 1.5.9
bzImage Version: 4.19.145
bzImage32 Version: 4.19.145
How to change to dev branch version of 1.5.9?

If you installed fog by the git method then just switch to the dev branch and then reinstall FOG. To switch back to the main branch then do a

cd /root/fogproject
git pull
git checkout master
git pull

I would also suggest that you think about upgrading your kernel past 4.19.x to the 5.10.x version so you get support for current hardware. Web UI -> Fog Settings -> Kernel update. Update both the 64 and 32 bit versions. Do this after you update to the dev version of 1.5.9.

Just for the records, downgrading (e.g. dev-branch to 1.5.9) is not supported. I am not saying this will cause problems per se but the more changes we have between latest official version (1.5.9 as of today) and dev-branch, the more chance there is downgrading will break something. Do whatever you like but I won’t support fixing a downgraded install.

@george1421 I did by package I will change to gid, where to download the .tar package?

@sebastian-roth Is this dev-branch version inferior to the one I have? to solve this problem I have in the images which do you recommend? thanks

Yes it is! As George said, updating to dev-branch will fix the issue you see most certainly. What George was saying about going back to an official release (a.k.a the master branch) can be done easily using git - see the commands he posted. But I wanted to add that you shouldn’t do this while 1.5.9 is still the latest official release because that would be a downgrade and could cause problems. As soon as 1.5.10 will be released you can switch to master because that’s going to be a step forward then.

@sebastian-roth understood, the release of the new version will be when more or less? I can help with something?

Can’t give you a date as we don’t have a fixed plan for new releases. Not great but that’s the way it is right now. Hardly anyone has time to work much on FOG and so things are going very slowly. You are more than welcome to join in an help us push this forward. See my post in the forums. Please send me a private message if you are keen to get involved and I am sure we have something for you! Looking forward to hear from you.
