Fatal Error: Failed to mount nfs volume timed out
- 
 Just out of curiosity I recreated the upload task in the debug mode. When I list the directory from the client machine the /images directory is not visible. Is it a matter of file permissions / sharing ? 
- 
 For give me if this is a stupid question. But I finally got the permissions issue sorted out. I can open the /images folder now. Here is the stupid part of the question, and believe me I do feel stupid. Is there supposed to be a visible file named .mntcheck? As you can see by the screen shot the file is empty… Again I’m very sorry if this a stupid waste of time.

 Okay Yes I figured out there is supposed to be a file there from another post I however do not know how to regenerate them. I tried running the installer again but that wasn’t any help 
- 
 I Tried this: root@Apl-Fog:~# ls -l /images/.mntcheck 
 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 9 19:11 /images/.mntcheck
 root@Apl-Fog:~# ls -l /images/dev/.mntcheck
 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 8 14:03 /images/dev/.mntcheck
 root@Apl-Fog:~# touch /images/.mntcheck
 root@Apl-Fog:~# chmod 777 /images/.mntcheck
 root@Apl-Fog:~# touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
 root@Apl-Fog:~# chmod 777 /images/dev/.mntcheckHowever the directory is still empty [url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1420_Screenshot from 2014-10-09 19:22:01.png?:”]Screenshot from 2014-10-09 19:22:01.png[/url]

 I’m only going on a limb and guessing you’re fairly new to the linux world? Files that begin with a . are “hidden” from the filesystem. This would be why you’re seeing “contents: nothing”. When you’re running the chmod commands I’d recommend using with the -R argument. The reason is because chmod 777 <file/foldername> only affects the individual item. chmod -R 777 <folder> means to set the persmissions recursively which is what you need. 
- 
 To see hidden files, change your command ‘ls -l’ to ‘ls -la’. Edit: If you want to see hidden files/folders over the file manager, press ctrl + h.

 I will give that a shot this afternoon. Also yeah kind of a noob, the last time I had to use Linux was for the cert back in early 2000. I didn’t really pass either. 
- 
 I mean no harm when i say these things. I just want to understand what point of view I need to work with. Hopefully you understand. 
- 
 Well in that sense I’m not completely illiterate when it comes to tech. I have been in IT for years just never really had anything to do with Linux until now. 
- 
 Here is what I have attempted so far this afternoon. No such luck getting any better results. (Except that it seems like it is taking longer on “Checking In and Mounting File System”) [url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1433_Currently attempting.jpg?:”]Currently attempting.jpg[/url]

 I don’t really know what else to do except maybe wipe and reinstall maybe with v14 of Ubuntu. Kind of a last resort though. At this point a little feed back would be helpful, Is it the fog machine? 
 It is listed as compatible hardware Dell Optiplex 760Is there the possibility of it being a client issue? The client is hardware registered. 
 The management console is [B]unable[/B] to resolve host name.
 It obviously PXE boots and starts fog.I am really unsure of what else to try. I have an extra HDD I may try a v14 load and see what happens. 
 I also have a second client machine different make and model, I guess before I try a reload I will set up the other machine. . .

 Last update for the day. I have not changed anything from the other day. I am now getting stuck at : PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout 
 TFTP…Again I did not change anything from the other day infact I shut it all down and only got around to booting it all up this evening. I don’t understand what happened, that part was at least working. >.< 
- 
 Try restarting the tftpd-hpa service: [code]sudo service tftpd-hpa restart[/code] 
- 
 this is kinda my issue as well. i have a raid mirror md0 mounted as images vis fstab and the storage manager can see the 500gig drive but i dont have a /dev folder in it. i have changed the permissions on the folder. how to i get the /dev folder to be created. 
- 
 How do you have /images being mounted? Is /images a separate disk after you performed the install of FOG? The way to fix: 
 [code]sudo mkdir /images/dev
 sudo touch /images/.mntcheck
 sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
 sudo chmod -R 777 /images[/code]
- 
 almost there, i got the image up but i am getting a error when trying to deploy an image with part clone error exit and then /dev/sda1 no such file or directory. its a Windows XP image marked as resizeable in the gui on an ide drive. 
- 
 This is a known issue. Try the init files in place of yours that I’m currently hosting: [code]wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz http://mastacontrola.com/init.xz 
 wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init_32.xz http://mastacontrola.com/init_32.xz[/code]

 testing this now tom , thanks for the help. 
 i am reuploading the image and will let you know if it downloads correctly.
- 
 That didnt solve the problem but i have now set it to be a non resizeable and it seems to be working now. ill know more in the morning.

 Hey its me back again. I am setting up a Ubuntu 14.04 install when I try the “echo “greeter-show-manual-login=true” >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf” when the system reboots it goes black. Then I have to go in without the GUI and delete the line added to the lightdm.conf. Now this is just my Linux noobishness showing again but, what am I doing wron this does not enable me to login as root. Also why do I have to login as root when I could just do the “sudo su -” This is just my curiosity. If I run the fog install without loging in as root will that be different from running as with the moded lightdm.conf?
