Hi,
My postdownloadscript driverinstall.sh is executable (chmod a+x) i’ve modified fog.postdownload but after image deployment (successfully) it doesn’t seem to run fog.postdownlad and driverinstall.sh .
So nothing is put inside c:\Drivers (i ve put some drivers)

Any ideas ?

code above will do what you want - change the paths to match your environment or wherever you want to store the cabs but using code example above. you’d put a copy of the cab into /fog/Drivers/Win7/OptiPlex 7010 for example then it will extract the cab and drivers will be installed during sysprep… shouldn’t need any postscripts

@Lee-Rowlett - Where is it this script is supposed to be placed on the server and its name?

cml

@ArchFan
Under: /images/postdownloadscripts/
Name: driverinstall.sh

Just make sure you call the script from fog.postdownload

${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh

Shouldn’t entering echo ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh on the server output /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, or no? I was having some issues at first and ended up putting the absolute path to rule that out as an issue

@ArchFan I don’t think so. Not on the server. The client/host during imaging or in the init process itself, yes, the server no.

Gotcha - I’ve had some other issues getting it to work as intended, so it probably wasn’t an issue after all. Thanks Tom

@giejo63 I’m running into the same issues. I have a sysprepped Win 7 image that has the C:\drivers location set to look for drivers. I have the drivers on the FOG server in /images/drivers and the scripts are executable. The postdownload file is set to run the script, and I have SetupComplete.cmd on the image set as described in Andrew’s wiki page.

Anyone have some ideas?

Feeling pretty discouraged at the moment

My postdownloadscript works perfectly unless I use variables, at which point it no longer works. You can see a few of the things I’ve attempted and commented out. Even using ${postdownloadpath} doesn’t seem to work - I can only call my postdownload script if I specify the absolute path. My cabs are in /images/drivers/Win7/. So for the Optiplex 9020M, the location is /images/drivers/Win7/Optiplex 9020M/*.CAB - I’ve also tried Optiplex9020M - still doesn’t work. I’m on Rev 3606, Debian 7

The only things in /images/postdownloadscripts are fog.postdownload and driverinstall.sh. Permissions on both are 777

Contents of fog.postdownload:

@MRCUR Still no luck for me
image is correctly deployed but fog.postdownload doesn’t seem to run…
i don’t know why …

giejo63

Debugging i found 2 problems:

${postdownloadpath} variable is not recognized
when i put the full path /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, i have an error which says that /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter. -> i dont have any ^M at the end of the line.

Any ideas for the variable and bad interpreter ??
Thanks in advance

cml

@giejo63

Did you by chance transfer the file from a windows machine? If so you may need to convert line endings.

dos2unix /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh

giejo63

@cml i will try that. Maybe it comes from a windows machine.
Do you konw why i can’t use the ${postdownloadpath} variable ? (my fog server is a ubuntu 14.04)

Tom Elliott

@giejo63 where are you check the variable? Is it on the server or the system downloading the image?

giejo63

@Tom-Elliott it is the postdownloadscript location variable in fog.postdownload

Tom Elliott

I mean where are you checking the variable being set?

Are you checking directly on the fog server with echo $postdownloadscript or are you checking on the system receiving the image?

giejo63

@Tom-Elliott as it is in the fog.postdownload script, i think it is the system receiving the image
