Hosts not imaging - HELP

fog@heavyfog:~$ mkdir trunk
fog@heavyfog:~$ cd ~/svn/trunk/;svn checkout -r5428 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk ;cd bin; sudo ./installfog.sh
bash: cd: /home/fog/svn/trunk/: No such file or directory
The program ‘svn’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install subversion
bash: cd: bin: No such file or directory
[sudo] password for fog:
sudo: ./installfog.sh: command not found
fog@heavyfog:~$

I believe I got it to make the directory but then I got all this.

[Wayne Workman]

@prestop sudo apt-get install subversion

Then rerun that command below.

Actually - I made some changes to it. here:
cd ~;mkdir svn;cd svn;svn checkout -r5428 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk ;cd trunk/bin;sudo ./installfog.sh

OK! It appears to be rolling now…updating packages, etc.
What do I do when it finishes?

[Wayne Workman]

@prestop at one point, it will ask you to update the db.

Go to the web interface and click the update button. It’ll be center page.

Then come back to the installer and continue.

After it’s done… just try it out.

@Wayne-Workman
Oh God…i walked away from the process and the computer locked. Now it doesn’t recognize my password. ?

[Junkhacker]

@prestop i noticed that you’re logging in as “fog”
i don’t recommend that, you should use a different user account.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker
That’s all i got. Can i finish as a guest session?

[Junkhacker]

that’s all you’ve got? the install instructions explicitly say not to create a user account named “fog” because the installer creates that account and sets the password

[prestop]

@Wayne-Workman how could my password change?

[prestop]

@Junkhacker
I didn’t set up the machine-the previous admin did.

[Junkhacker]

well, it looks like the fog installer changed the password for the “fog” user (which it sometimes does, it’s not supposed to, but when doing an upgrade from 1.2.0 it can happen. maybe something about the change in formatting of the .fogsettings file.) so it looks like you’ve got 2 options. reset the fog user password or restore your backup and create a new user account to do administration from.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker reset the password from AD?

[Junkhacker]

the fog linux user account.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker guess i’ll have to restore,can’t find the account in AD

[Junkhacker]

@prestop if you want to reset the password, this should send you in the right direction http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password

[Junkhacker]

@prestop it’s not an AD account, it’s a linux user account.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker
Sorry know nothing about Linux.

Where are the images stored? Are they on a seperate disk, of NFS? How many images?

You’re spending a lot of time trying to fix this, Sometimes it’s more effecient to start again. Would it not be easier to export the data, even if it’s unplugging the disks, then do a totally fresh build, and re import the images. I’ve done this several times, it’ really easy, and you can test the new fog servers before you risk you images. Just save your data.
Just a thought to get a speedy resolution.

[Junkhacker]

@prestop that’s ok. have you figured it out? it’s the local user account for the user “fog” on the linux system. it’s not all that different from a local user on a windows computer.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker
can only get in with guest session -don’t know how to find users.
