Dell Latitude 3340 with USB-C Ethernet Adapter - bad mac address registered

@pbriec I can confirm that these sql commands fix the issue with the snapin table ajax error.

I am trying to recreate your wol issues too.

I am unable to get wol with or without fog on my lenovo laptop with the lenovo branded usb-c ethernet adapter. Are you using a usb/usb-c adapter for ethernet or are you using a docking station?

@JJ-Fullmer it’s a dell usb-c ethernet adapter.
I don’t understand what is wrong. I’ve ever managed to wake up the laptop but it don’t work at all time.
I thought it came from the New fog but i was wrong. I’ve tested with old one, doesn’t work.
As i’m using VM for fog, i’m able to switch between the two version using Snapshot.
Even with old fog, it doesn’t start. Very strange.
Another laptop with builtin ethernet port is working fine.
The specs of the usb-c ethernet adapter is quite clear, it supports wake on lan https://www.dell.com/fr-fr/shop/adaptateur-dell-usb-c-vers-ethernet-25-gbit-s/apd/470-bcfv/wi-fi-et-gestion-de-réseau

Is the computer powering off the network adapter in sleep mode or keeping it active?

I know WOL from anything other than g3 mode and windows is involved (i.e. s1-s4 has some kind of windows os interaction). So the windows OS needs to leave the power on the nic to be able to be woke up from these modes. Windows is a fickle beast.

@george1421 I don’t often use the s0 or s3 sleep on my laptop, I just go full on full off. I don’t have a lot of need for WOL to work on laptops in our environment so I’m not too worried about it, but I’ll test wake from sleep mode.

@pbriec The specs say it does WOL from s0/s3 which are sleep modes, not full off modes.
I was able to recreate the issue where the wol task wouldn’t delete and was causing computers to boot to fog and showing that error screen and @Tom-Elliott believes he has that fixed (I’m about to test that)

I did confirm that add WOL to a normal task (like image deploy or inventory) does work as expected in the Newer Fog. So WOL functionality still works the same. I tested that on a standard desktop with built-in ethernet.

[JJ Fullmer]

@pbriec The specs of my lenovo adapter also state WOL is supported but I can’t get it to work from off or from sleep with or without FOG being the one to send the wake packet.
But I am able to get WOL to work on a standard desktop from Fog without issue now. So do another pull of working-1.6 to get fog’s WOL task updated.

I’d suggest running it without -y to make sure you get prompted to do any database schema updates via the web-ui. It’s not often that you have to push that button but there are for sure some when upgrading from 1.5.x to 1.6.x. Unless @Tom-Elliott has added something to the installer to make -y automate the schema updates.

cd /path/to/fog/installer
git checkout working-1.6
git pull
cd bin
sudo ./installfog.sh

@JJ-Fullmer -y does indeed automate the schema updates.
