Snapins fail to deploy with 1.0.1
-
Ok, I’m about ready to smoke my Ubuntu 14.04/FOG 1.0.1 install and go back to Ubuntu 10.04/FOG .32 if this can’t be resolved.
I have two snapins (vbs scripts) that I use to add my clients to AD with. One is for XP and the other for Win-7. The Win7 spapin appears to be deployed but does not actually execute on the client. I have the reboot option ticked and it does reboot but not actually executing.
What logs/troubleshooting do I need to provide to find the error?
TIA
-
fyi, the fog client software has the ability to join computers to AD by itself.
i have found that plaintext based snapins, like vbs or bat files, must have a space or carriage-return after it’s last character in order for the client to know the file has completed downloading. the file may end up with an added #!OK on it’s last line if it does not have this.
as a test of your snapin system, you can create a .bat file with these contents
[CODE]@echo off
echo “HELLO I INSTALLED SNAPIN1 ON MY SYSTEM” > C:\installedSnapin1.txt
[/CODE]
and add it as a snapin.
this will create a text file in the root of the drive, and verify that snapins are working. -
I should have stated I’ve been using these same snapins successfully since v. .31 so it’s not a problem with the snapin files.
-
Try updating to the latest on SVN. I’ve found a few bugs and have corrected them. The core of 1.0.1 is the same, but there were new tweaks and changes.
All you should have to do, as root on your system, is:
[code]svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk
cd trunk/bin
./installfog.sh[/code] -
This post is deleted! -
I have the latest trunk installed. I also deleted the snapin files from the server and fog and then recreated and uploaded them, still no luck. I also see this error when trying to deply my XP snapin:
Failed to create deploy task
Snapins Are already deployed to this host. -
Please see the file:
[code]C:>type fog.log[/code]

are there active tasks for this client in the active tasks or the active snapin tasks? if so, please delete them and create a new snapin task, and upload the fog.log again. it may take up to 5 minutes for the client to request the snapin task.
-
Updated to trunk 1714 and still no go with snapin deployment. Please let me know what log files I need to provide.

Update from yesterday’s troubleshooting with “mutilator” on the IRC channel.
Issue seems to be with FOG initiating the execution of my 2 previously working snapins with .32 which are VBS scripts. I can run the vbs script on the client from the CLI with the same options as the snapin. I have the reboot option selected for these snapins and the reboot does initiate. The fog client log indicates the snapin was deployed with a code 1. I also created a simple “hello world” vbs snapin which fails to execute also. We also tested with a simple notepad.exe snapin which did work.
TIA

From what I’m hearing here, the snapin’s ARE in fact running AND rebooting the system as required. Could this be a simple issue with how the FOG Service installs the files and the information being blocked by IDM? (Interactive Display Manager)?

Hi Tom.
I am seeing the same issues with FOG 1.0.1 and a Win7 client that used to work with snapins. For example, fog.log on client shows that is it downloading my notepad.exe test snapin and “Starting FOG Snapin Installation.” but it never pops up notepad, and I never see a "Snapin installation complete"in the log.
A couple quick suggestions to aide in debugging snap-ins, and a couple possible bugs reports:
-
the fog.log lists the ID, and some other info about the snap-in, however, it does not list the snap-in file downloaded. It just says "starting FOG Snapin download then Download complete. Would help to know that it was requesting the correct file in the client-side log
-
The fog.log shows FOG::SnapinClient ID:x (where x is the task’s ID in the DB)
however, no where in the FOG web interface does it list a snapin’s ID nor the taks’s ID. I can query the db directly, but another column (task ID) in the task lists would be helpful I think to normal end-users. Also, maybe list the snapin’s ID in snapins lists.
BUG 1: If I queue a snapin to be deployed to a client, I see the snapin in “active snapin tasks” and in “active tasks” OK, so far so good.
If I delete the task from “Active tasks” it is still listed in “Active snapin tasks” list
BUG 2: And finally I am noticing something odd in the FOG Client
On startup (Win 7) it goes through all the module startups and delays, etc… Then, after it finds and downloads the first snapin, logs “downloading complete” and “starting FOG Snapin INstallation.” the only module that logs to the file is the FOG::TaskReboot which logs over and over again every 5 mins:
FOG::TaskReboot Attempting to connect to fog server…
FOG::TaskReboot No task found for client.No other modules seem to be doing anything after that. It’s like the Snapin module did not complete its task, and is holding every other module back from running - Except for the TaskReboot module.
-
-
So, Bill and I were just worked out what the issue was. While my terms were wrong, my facts were correct.
FIRST: Running basic “tests” are not going to work because if you tell the snapin to “install” notepad.exe, ISD (this is correct) is what’s actually running the “install”. So, if your snapin simply opens a file that requires some sort of “interaction” with it Windows 7 and up operates it, inside this Interactive Service Detection window. You’ll see an ICON on the start bar that looks like gears. Notepad.exe, never finishes because it’s still, technically, running and never returns to the SnapinClient. If you close the notepad.exe that’s opened in ISD, it will finish and the other modules will complete as well.
SECOND: I Tried telling people, but apparently they didn’t want to trust me. Hopefully this helps you understand. I’ve tested many many things. When I say a simple test to see if things are working is to create a batch file that generates a text file, it’s not because I think something is broken. We have used this to test in the past. For example, create a batch file with the contents like:
[code]@echo off
echo “This is a test, it is only a test, if this was a real snapin, it would’ve actually done something unless you needed to interact with it. If it requires interaction, none of the other snapin’s will be able to be performed AFTER this one until it’s properly exited from.” > c:\SNAPINTEST.txt
[/code]Hopefully this makes sense to you all.

Did you set a MySQL password? If so you need to update that password in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php
-
Yes… yes… i’m dumb. Thanks. I didn’t realize that the config file got overwritten again.

Still no luck with my VBS snapin. There is no ISD present at the time of the deployment.

have you verified that the last line in the vbs script is a carriage return?
-
Yes, I placed the cursor at the end of the last line of text, held the delete key to clear anything that might be there, and then pressed the return key and saved the file.
