Sysprep with out OOBE

[Wayne Workman]

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?

[Wayne Workman]

re-update.

Others had issues with this recently, the new update fixed it.

[Joseph Hales]

I think you have an issue on the server side try this part of the wiki or maybe simply a reboot of the server.

Fedora 20/21
status/enable/restart
systemctl status xinetd.service
systemctl enable xinetd.service
systemctl restart xinetd.service

or more likley what Wayne posted

[mtriplett]

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.

[Joseph Hales]

This one if running Ubuntu

cd svn
sudo svn checkout [url]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk[/url]
Install It!
cd ~/svn/trunk/bin

sudo ./installfog.sh

Running fedora.

Tried both suggestions with no luck. Fog is running just fine shows 1.2.0 but it still sticks at the /init.xz… ok

[Joseph Hales]

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.

[mtriplett]

Actually it says 2922. But i have followed the upgrade as suggested. Could i have done it wrong.

[Joseph Hales]

When you run the check out command what version did it say it found?

[mtriplett]

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.

[mtriplett]

I did check tftp access and it is just fine.

[mtriplett]

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.

[Wayne Workman]

I’ll walk you through upgrading, if you haven’t torn out the installation yet…
