IPXE issues - work around

[Tom Elliott]

Try checking: FOG Configuration (? icon) -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Settings -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD.

Still can’t update the kernels thru the FOG interface.

I think I have a permissions issue in one or more folders.

I try to image a new computer (upload) and it starts imaging, everything ok until it finishes which shows:

• FOGFTP: Failed to rename file. Remote Path: /images/temp**** , Local Path: /images/dev/fb8c******, Error: ftp_rename(): Rename failed.

[Elias Santiago]

Sorry for so much trouble!

I [SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]went in and ran: [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]sudo passwd fog (reset fog user password)[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]then [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]chown -R fog:root /var/www/fog/service/ipxe[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3]chown -R fog:root /images[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]then on FOG interface: [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Consolas]Storage Management -> [FONT=Ubuntu]Management Username / Password to fog / (**fog user password - same as used on passwd line above)[/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Ubuntu]FOG - Configuration ->Settings -> [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD. (same as user/pass as Storage Management )[/FONT]

[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]FINALLY SOLVED! [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]I think my problems were that I had another user for logging to FOG web interface, and that user was also the one in the Storage [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]and TFTP settings (not the fog user). [/FONT]

[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]Previously on 0.32b I had it that way and worked OK. After updating to FOG 1.1.0 I started having trouble with either uploading, [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]kernel update, etc. [/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Does everything have to be with the “fog” user?[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/FONT]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 29539, member: 7271”]From the image you provided, the init.xz file you have is corrupted, can you try manually downloading the init.xz again on your fog server:
[code]cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
rm init.xz init_32.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init_32.xz[/code][/quote]

This just worked for me - I was getting loops after it started loading ipxe.init until I replaced the versions I had (in 1.2.0) with these. Thank goodness!!! Now I’m anxious to really give this a workout!

Whoops - spoke to soon - it worked once!

I tried to deploy the antivirus quarantine to test things and it went back to looping. Will I ever see the Fog menu again???

Terry

EDIT - removed the antivirus task and the menu booted. I’ll try some debug tasks next.

EDIT 2 - the moment I remove a task, it loads the menu. Until then, it just keeps looping. Tried with download debug and debug tasks.

Hi,

I have tries this solution but don’t works. The error is “[B]Could not start download: operation not supported[/B]”
I have tested it under different hardwares (optiplex 755, HP 8300) and the result is the same.

I have installed FOG r2407 in a physical server and the dhcp server is not in the FOG server, and we use dnsmasq.

The answer is:

[CODE]#!ipxe
kernel bzImage32 initrd=init_32.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 keymap= web=10.0.15.4/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 mac=00:21:70:46:4d:f2 ftp=10.0.15.4 storage=10.0.15.4:/images/dev/ storageip=10.0.15.4 web=10.0.15.4/fog/ osid=50 loglevel=4 consoleblank=0 irqpoll hostname=u001021 chkdsk=0 img=centos imgType=mps imgPartitionType=all imgid=1 imgFormat= PIGZ_COMP=-9 hostearly=1 pct=5 ignorepg=1 mining=1 miningcores=1 miningpath=http://fogproject.org/fogpackage.zip type=up

Are all of these in UEFI mode by any chance?

Also, no necro.

[Fernando Gietz]

No. No EUFI.

[Fernando Gietz]

Solved!! The problem was dnsmasq setup. See [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE’]here[/URL] for more information

Hello,
I’m new to the list but a user ferving FOG.
I can not change the configuration of the keyboard in QWERTY.
I changed in the “General Settings” -> KEYMAP_FOG = en without success.
I checked the language available: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_Image_Key_Map[/url]
I get good at the launch of bzimage:
bzImage32 kernel root = / dev / ram0 rw = 127000 ramdisk_size ip = dhcp dns = 192.168.1.3 web keymap = fr 192.168.1.3 /
fog / consoleblank loglevel = 4 = 0 mode = manreg
This has no effect, I’m interested in a solution.
Thank you for your response.

Hi dl550,
I can’t see how this is related to the other posts in the thread!? To be honest I don’t really understand what you are asking for! Probably a good idea to open up a complete new post and describe what exactly goes wrong. Are you trying to have french keyboard layout?
