Fog 1.5.10 Install error libcurl4 Failed during install
-
@mstraffin Please do not use a version of Ubuntu that released AFTER the latest version of FOG was released?
While sometimes it may work just fine, in a large majority of cases they will not because changes ubuntu has made to available packages changes just as frequently as Ubuntu updates.
From what I can see Ubuntu 24.04 was released sometime yesterday. FOG 1.5.10 was released sometime in 2023. So there’s nothing for us to fix currently because we haven’t had enough time to even look at the new version of ubuntu and see IF we could even update the installer cleanly enough to get it installed on Ubuntu 24.04
-
The latest Ubuntu version I’ve personally seen that works is 22.04 LTS. I’d recommend trying that to see if the installer finishes.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you Tom, Sorry it was my first attempt at setting up a FOG server and Ubuntu. I just chose the latest and greatest. i should have done more research. This a virtual box so I can start over easy enough. I will take your recommendation and start again.
Appreciate the feedback.
Mike

@mstraffin No problems, just wanted to make it known we are aware that each new version of Ubuntu tends to break the installer of FOG. This isn’t because the software wouldn’t work on ubuntu out of the box, but the packages needed keep changing between versions.
For example, libcurl4 might simply be provided in default curl now but since past versions need the specific libcurl4 call out, it causes errors. So we have to maintain libcurl4 of version ubuntu <x:y> while allowing “new” ubuntu <latest>.
Ubuntu is personally one OS i’m not a fan of for FOG’s installer since the package list is consistently fragmented.

Found the same problem.
The issue is that the libcurl4 in ubuntu 22.04 is now libcurl4t64 so the check fails.
Changing the name of the package in lib/common/funcions.sh solves the problem and the installation works smoolthly.

@jaumeramos Would you be willing to test:

I’m hoping to catch as 17-21 worked fine with lubcurl4, but 22 needs libcurl4t64
It’s ugly, I have pushed if you just want to pull from dev-branch

Hi,
The dev-branch worked well for me, thanks!Ubuntu MATE 24.04
6.8.0-31-generic
All packages fully updated before running the FOG installer (for better or worse, haha)Thanks again for all the work on this project, it has been great to see it continue on over the years,

This is happening with Debian 13
Any way to solve it? -
@Robert FOG 1.5.10 was not written when Debian 13 was built. Stable branch hasn’t updated for the month of September but this fix is in the dev-branch.
Please, for now, switch to the dev-branch and install where this should be resolved.

On latest Debian Trixie, dev-branch installer gives :
Setting up fogproject user…/lib/common/functions.sh: ligne 1476: lastlog : commande introuvable -
@Tom-Elliott Where are supported os listed ? Is there any way to know that Debian Trixie is supported on the main branch ?
Also is there a migration process, how to upgrade from bookworm without creating a new server ?
-
@eoli3n Versions are impossible to give because they keep changing, so we do try to have the version that are supported between masters/dev-branch/etc… for the os’s at that point in time (and backward)
Debian Based (Mint, Ubuntu, Debian), Redhat Based (Redhat, Rocky, Alma, Fedora).
The versions, dev-branch is more likely going to be in line with latest/greatest. Some what of a delay of course, but there’s no list that clearly spells out what version of specific OS is supported.
In my opinion, Redhat based OS’s are the best as we don’t have to continually update the installer code to support future versions. Most will just work right out of the box.
Migration process? No, if you’re moving one machine to another that’s one thing of a migration and there is a process for that, but if you’re meaning “I’m on bookworm and without moving anything, I’m going to do an in place upgrade?” I don’t believe there will be problems but what I would suggest is re-installing FOG once the upgrade is complete as any services or config files that got changed would need to be rebuilt for the new OS. It’s not hard and I don’t think there will be any issues. If there are, please let us know.
