      @george1421 I found a hot-to…but when i run the sudo apt-get install dnsmaq command in my ubuntu terminal, the terminal says that my fog password is incorrect. The password that i’m typing in is not incorrect. I’m completely confused.

        @keith75140 there’s https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server
        or you can use https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Bootable_Media which is targeted at UEFI booting, but you can modify the steps for legacy booting alternatively (use undionly.kpxe instead of ipxe.efi )

          @Junkhacker Thank you for the links!
          When i attempt the steps in the unmodified DHCP server set-up, the ubuntu terminal says that my fog password is incorrect. (which it is not?) I’m confused as to why my password has changed.

            @keith75140 Not sure how dnsmasq would impact a fog password. Where are you seeing this?

              You should install using the sudo command (because of ubuntu). Sudo will give your user account admin rights (similar to run as administrators is to Windows). But either way you should be installing dnsmasq as root.

                  @keith75140 right you should be logged into ubuntu linux as the root user, not the fog linux user.

                  Also if you want to dynamically switch between bios and uefi boot files you will need to compile your own version of dnsmaq to get these fixes.

                        @george1421 I created a user account called fog. This is what I thought was the root user. I know the password for this account, but after running sudo apt-get install dnsmasq within the terminal, the terminal says that my password is incorrect.

                          @keith75140 You manually created a user called fog because the fog installer will too and give it a new password. That could be where your error is. The .fogsettings file will contain what the user account fog is currently set to.

                          I do have to say you should never use the linux fog account for management stuff because the fog program expects that account to be setup a certain way.

                              @keith75140 its a hidden file.

                              If you key in this command cat /opt/fog/.fogsettings | more it will type out the contents page by page for you.

                                Is there a way that I can change this password?

                                  @keith75140 Sorry for the delay I’m bouncing between stuff today.

                                  I would NOT change the fog linux account password. What I would do is create a new admin account for you to use to manage this server. As I said before that fog linux account should only be used by the fog application and services. It should not have admin rights to your server. Just create another user using the ubuntu gui and give it sudo rights (or reinstall ubuntu and fog again to get a clean build and create a different user for your admin functions). You really don’t want to mess with that linux fog user account by accident or on purpose.

                                      We did not need to do a full clean install or anything. I remoted in and helped out.

                                      @keith75140 now has a fully functional fog server while using Ubuntu 17.04 as the base OS.
