Change langage keyboard on boot for password and full inventory

[guiom57]

Hi,
i try to install fog (1.2.0) in my enterprise to replace my actually’s deploiement infrastructure.

I have search with no result how to change the langage (in french) to the boot interface to write lgin and passord or write registred information.

If anyone can help me. i have try to enter many exemple in Fog setting /general informations/FOG_KEYMAP but without result! (fr_FR.utf.8, fr.kdb. fr-latin9, …)

Many thanks !

Hi,
the setting FOG_KEYMAP is used to tell the kernel to use this keymap. See kernel command line options for more details but in my case simply ‘de’ is working. It’s not perfect as german Umlauts are not working but at least the rest is working great. So in your case you’d have to set FOG_KEYMAP to ‘fr’…

Not sure if this setting also makes a difference for FOG login and password … anyone has a clue? Or just give it a try.

Hi,

I think it is necessary to Building a custom undionly.kpxe file .
See: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Building_undionly.kpxe[/url]
Change in config/console.h :
define KEYBOARD_MAP us
to
define KEYBOARD_MAP fr

But I have a compilation error at the end of the procedure.

Can you post the error?

Hi,

The command “make bin/{undionly,ipxe}.{,k,kk}pxe EMBED=ipxescript” finish by:

[HOSTCC] util/zbin
util/zbin.c:7:18: fatal error: lzma.h: No such file or directory
#include <lzma.h>

compilation terminated.
make: *** [util/zbin] Error 1

You building on ubuntu/debian, or Centos?

Either way, you need install the liblzma package on your system. I think it was done with
[code]apt-get install liblzma-dev[/code]

Thank you, now the compilation is ok.
But with my new undionly.ipxe file, I have a boot error:

Check the following header file in the ipxe source directory: ipxe/src/config/general.h

You’ll see some lines with ‘define’ there. Some have ‘//’ at the beginning which means that those options are not being compiled into the ipxe binary! Remove those two slashes in front of PARAM_CMD (and possible some other options too):

[CODE]…
#define AUTOBOOT_CMD /* Automatic booting /
#define NVO_CMD / Non-volatile option storage commands /
#define CONFIG_CMD / Option configuration console /

[/CODE]
Then compile again, copy the new binary to /tftpboot, check file permissions and boot up the client…
