Running 1.2.0 on latest version of fedora. If its a newer svn and easier Im willing
-
I’m a fan there can be teething issues but a lot of improvements.

I don’t use sys-prep or fog-prep. And I’ve had zero problems. I maintain an image for each model in my building.
Two years ago, I ran into an issue with many machines having the same GUID, and this made my KMS server not work so well. Turns out, it needs like 5 unique requests (for MS Office) before it starts activating anything. I found a program on the net that generates fake requests. After I ran that, everything was fine.
-
Ok I just installed the update. So if I understand it correctly I should not have to do sysprep correct? What about Fogprep?
-
You don’t “Have to” do anything special to pull an image with FOG. (edit in the new svn versions.)
Sys-Prep is to make an image that is compatible with many different models of computers… and for including drivers for those models, and running post-imaging tasks.
Without it, you will need to maintain an image for each model, like I do. I feel it’s simpler, and I’ve got the storage space for it.
-
Well I just tried to upload an image to the server and it gets to /init.xz… ok and just sits there and does nothing. So far it’s been 15 minutes. I tried updating the kernels with a recent one and one from a few weeks ago but the older one causes a kernel panic. Suggestions Joseph?
-
re-update.
Others had issues with this recently, the new update fixed it.
-
I think you have an issue on the server side try this part of the wiki or maybe simply a reboot of the server.

status/enable/restart
systemctl status xinetd.service

systemctl restart xinetd.serviceor more likley what Wayne posted
-
Thanks I will try this. Wayne to which update are you referring? I used the link to the instructions that Joseph gave to update the server.

Tried both suggestions with no luck. Fog is running just fine shows 1.2.0 but it still sticks at the /init.xz… ok
-
if it shows 1.2.0 you aren’t running the SVN version then if it was SVN your cloud logo would have a 4 digit number most likely 3374.
-
Actually it says 2922. But i have followed the upgrade as suggested. Could i have done it wrong.
-
When you run the check out command what version did it say it found?
-
It says 3377. I re downloaded and installed but no luck. If anything once I get the fog boot screen and make a selection, either quick registration or set a task to upload it just goes to a blank screen next.
-
I did check tftp access and it is just fine.
-
Ok. I was going to uninstall the whole thing but I tried the first entry in this link for uninstalling fog [url]http://jbob.io/wiki/index.php/Uninstall_FOG[/url] . At this point it lets me inventory a machine and I am going to try another upload.
-
I’ll walk you through upgrading, if you haven’t torn out the installation yet…
