@Wayne-Workman I was looking at This

@Tom-Elliott I am using GIT

[Wayne Workman]

@it101 Fixed.

@Wayne-Workman Can I just install FOG 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 or do I need to install 1.2 first then upgrade to 1.3?

[Wayne Workman]

@it101 You don’t need to touch 1.2.0 at all, you can go straight to 1.3 using the “Upgrade to Trunk” article, or the “Ubuntu 16.04 Server” article in the wiki. Or, if you just know the commands, you don’t need any instructions. But no you don’t need to mess with 1.2.0 at all. People keep asking that here in the forums and I don’t know why. Is there anything indicating that 1.2.0 is needed? Please point out why you feel that way and I’ll do what I can to change it.

@Wayne-Workman I tried installing 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 one time without installing 1.2 first and it didnt ask me about changing the SQL password but did ask if the password was blank. I said yes and it installed without a hitch. But when I went to capture my first image, it couldnt mount the file system and fails immediately

Also, I think some might be taking the “Upgrade to Trunk” at face value thinking it is JUST an upgrade and not a full install.

I’ll clarify this at the very top of the article, then.

Exactly where does this happen? Please post a photo of the error, and if you can please also post a photo what the screen is showing just before the error as well. This will let us know exactly where the issue is.

@Wayne-Workman I just tried installing 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 Server and during the install, it fails at

Starting FOGMulticastManager Service ................. Failed!

Is this anything to be alarmed at? Proceed as normal?

The only reason I am using Ubuntu is because I am somewhat familiar with it (not saying much) should I try Debian?

[Wayne Workman]

@it101 Give me 5 minutes to test the latest on Ubuntu 16 here. I’m home today and have lots of time on my hands.

[it101]

@Wayne-Workman OK, so I ran the 1.3 install again after the FOGMulticastManager Service Failed message and it completed successfully.

BUT, when I got to capture my image, I get to “Saving original partition table…” and stops there. No error or anything.

I know you’re new to fog so you’re going to have a ton of questions. We are happy to help but us going so far off topic here benefits nobody but you. We use forums so others can search threads and help themselves instead of asking questions. Please for each “new” issue, make a new thread.

When the capture process hangs on “Saving original partitions” this means that you have a system that shipped from the factory as UEFI, and you’ve changed it to BIOS and reformatted it, but because windows installation does a crappy job of cleaning up the disk, there are GPT remnants left over, and you need to run ‘fixparts’ in debug mode. Search the forums for fixparts and you’ll find numerous writeups on how to do it. That’ll fix you up. You could also search for the exact last lines displayed and find the same things.

Also there is this:

@Wayne-Workman Sorry, I will do that in the future. I was able to capture my image after fixing the GPT remnants.

Thank you for all your help!
