The version fogproject-1.5.10 is unable to download the kernel.

Downloading kernel, init and fog-client binaries…

If FOG 1.5.10 can’t download the kernel, it could be due to a network problem or a glitch. Make sure your internet is working. If it is, check the FOG Project’s website for any updates or fixes. If there’s no solution there, you might need to manually download and update the kernel using the instructions from FOG’s guides. If you’re not sure how to do this, it’s best to get help from someone who knows about IT.

@JackYwn You did not provide enough information on how/when you are getting this error.
I am assuming that the message you posted is from the installation script, meaning that it errors when trying to download the kernel during an install. If that is the case, please try re-running the installer using the newest dev-branch version, 1.5.10.17.

Dear Fog Project,

We have been using for for about 10 years and it is a great program. We recently had to rebuild a FOG server.

I have the same problem as the OP.

I am installing FOG on rocky linux version 8.9 as CentOS is now a rolling release distro.

The server in question has all packages (curl, bc, dhcp, mysql, php, etc) in the long list installed I tried on a line with no proxy and with some filtering and the results are the same.

I also tried version 1.5.9 and the FOG installer hangs on the “downloading binaries, init and client libraries” There is no output that shows any error and it doesn;t fail - it almost as if it is hanging on something at the other end.

On the same server I tried the following commands in the /root/fogproject/tmp directory (unless there is another location these should be installed in) when I was trying to install 1.5.10.

curl -kOL https://fogproject.org/binaries1.5.10.zip
curl -kOL https://fogproject.org/binaries1.5.10.zip.sha256

Both of these files are a 3 kb file which has nothing in it. I tried to download the files using that url in firefox and I get a nginix error.

so then I tried 1.5.9 which I suscessfuly installed 6 months ago on this same internet line. I get the same basic error on the installer but I can manually download the files and use the url in firefox.

curl -kOL https://fogproject.org/binaries1.5.9.zip
curl -kOL https://fogproject.org/binaries1.5.9.zip.sha256

These files are 64 MB.

I usually figure out these issues and can install FOG and get it working but this one has me stumped.

Best Regards,

Matt

@mrowand I just tried installing 1.5.10 on a fresh Rocky 8.9 VM. It went through and downloaded everything correctly.
Try running these commands on the server to see if you can manually download the files.

curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/latest/download/bzImage
curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/latest/download/bzImage32
curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/latest/download/init.xz
curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/latest/download/init_32.xz
curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.13.0/FOGService.msi
curl -kOL https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.13.0/SmartInstaller.exe

Let us know if this works.
