Latest FOG 0.33b

[Tom Elliott]

r1113 released.

Snapins that already exist on the system are now able to be chosen. Better error management/visability on the coding realm as well.

[Tom Elliott]

r1114 released.

Had a mistake on checking. $_POST[‘snapin’] should always be null as it’s a file. The vars to check against are: $_POST[‘snapin’] and $_FILES[‘snapin’][‘name’].

Don’t worry guys, I’m already aware that hostname_early is not working…yet.

I thought it was, I tested the scripts but I just got done testing a job. It seems that I have to export the win7sys variable otherwise the changeHostname function doesn’t know how to mount the registry hive. Why this worked for windows XP, I haven’t the slightest, but I imagine exporting that variable will do the trick as well. I’m testing it right now, will be about 20 minutes or so.

Thanks for the capone stuff, will check it out over the next day or so.
Have just noticed a typo in installfog.sh, double equals on line 176.
I’ve changed our 0.32 install to include capone deployment in the “imaging over last 30 days” graph by:

1. change the source of this graph from tasks to imagingLog.
2. change capone.php to insert an entry in the imaginglog
   Any chance of doing something similar at 0.33?
   as a further thought
   3 add a field to imagingLog, to store the pc id criteria, ie for capone “system-serial-number=12345”, or a normal task “mac=<mac address>”
   This would keep an imaging history for each device. (multicast may be an issue)

That double ='s is not a typo, it’s a comparison operator. Meaning, if the value of: “$bldhcp” is equal to “0”, then continue on. In shell scripting, you can use double == or = as comparison for if statements.

r1115 released,

Hostname_early appears to work properly for windows 7 systems. XP already worked, but 7 didn’t. Should be good now.

Still don’t know about the changer from FOGClient, but I’ll try to look into it tomorrow.

r1116 released.

Truncates hostname to 15 characters. Also added a service script that verifies that the hostname is valid/unused. This way less confusion between GUI and Fog registration scheme.

[jbsclm]

Aha, I understand the issue around the double equals sign now.
This is on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I haven’t tried on Fedora 20.
If I call “sh installfog.sh” it uses dash, which doesn’t support the “==” operator, and flags an error.
If I call ./installfog.sh it uses bash which does support “==”.

small esthetic bug in 0.33b:

when you do ./installfog.sh

…
What is the IP address to be used by this FOG Server? [inet:192.168.0.3] [enter]
Invalid IP address!

What is the IP address to be used by this FOG Server? [inet:192.168.0.3]192.168.0.3
…

…
On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
option 066 & 067
we can specify also that in 066 user must set the ip of fog, and in 067 “pxelinux.0”
…

i edit this message today to post all bugs that i found…

[Tom Elliott]

So I’ll check the loop for the ip. Then you just want me to add the info of what the options do?

[Tom Elliott]

fabritreno,

What OS did you install this on? I’ve never seen any issues with this particular issue, as it already checks if the entry is null, but the [] part is filled out, use the [] part.

Then it tests if either the suggested IP or the entered IP is valid. If it’s not valid (extra spaces included) then it fails with that message. My guess is something is a little different on your server.

[Tom Elliott]

r1118 released.

Adds information for Option 066 and Option 067 per fabritreno’s suggestion above.

trims the last / off of the path name when deploying a multicast image.

for some reasons, instead of “xxx.xxx.xxx.xx” “inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” are assumed as default. I think that is taked from /etc/network/interfaces config file.

my file:

The loopback network interface

auto lo

It’s actually taken by the command:
[code]ifconfig | grep “inet addr:” | head -n 1 | cut -d’:’ -f2 | cut -d’ ’ -f1[/code]

I have a feeling, something like:
[code]ifconfig | grep “inet addr:” | head -n 1 | awk -F’:’ ‘{print $2}’|awk ‘{print $1}’[/code]

Would work better as it ensure’s the whitespace is removed, where cut only removes a single space (based on the -d’ ').

i have no “addr:” ifconfig output :

this works:
ifconfig | grep “inet” | head -n 1 | awk -F’:’ ‘{print $2}’|awk ‘{print $1}’

and also this:
ifconfig | grep “inet” | head -n 1 | cut -d’:’ -f2 | cut -d’ ’ -f1

first bug.

i created a image as multiple partitions, single disk.
then upload the image.

the disk has 3 partitions:
sda1 ntfs
sda2 ext4
sda3 linux_swap

but on the server only first image is upladed:

administrator@fog:/images/labciro$ ls -la
totale 6602576
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 gen 20 14:21 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 gen 20 14:21 …
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 512 gen 20 12:50 d1.mbr
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6761011164 gen 20 14:20 d1p1.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 gen 20 14:20 d1p2.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 gen 20 14:21 d1p3.img
administrator@fog:/images/labciro$
the second and third is only 20 byte sized.

how i can debug more this problem?

[Tom Elliott]

How big is the ext4 partition?

[fabritrento]

Is 25-30GB (about)

[Tom Elliott]

What’s the OS type for the image being uploaded?
