Advanced wake-up task for a group is queued but not performed

[george1421]

Can you ensure that the timezone listed in the FOG settings is correct, as well as the timezone listed in the /etc/php.ini config file? Lastly ensure the linux clock on the FOG server is accurate.

[TrialAndError]

Timezone the same in fog settings as in php.ini, ntp running.

I do not schedule the wake-up event, direct execution.

Description

Hi everyone,
We have the same issue here on Debian 8.8 for group wake up.
Tasks stay in “1” state and hosts start a deployment task that fail then reboot.

Timezone and clock are ok. (/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and gui: fog_tz_info)

Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem here on Ubuntu 4.4.0-67-generic 88~14.04.1-Ubuntu

If i start a wakeup task for a group, all clients starting up but trying to boot into a fog task. In the active tasks selection there is still a wakeup task “hanging” there.

The clients get an error and reboot. If i delete the “hanging” task everything is okay and fog boots the disk.

The strange thing is, that on friday was everything fine …

Can you guys try this file:

wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/fog/group.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/c9431f0da0659fd5f6730b2a7e0ec0d38ad1f179/packages/web/lib/fog/group.class.php

With anyluck, WOL won’t create a tasking like normal tasks.

This issue came from a prior fix to enable other non-init taskings that still needed to be queued in a similar init needed fashion. Sorry for the oversight.

@Tom-Elliott

same problem - nothing changed! Is a restart of the machine or a service necessary?

The task is till hanging in the active tasks tab but the client is startet via WOL.

If you need further information just let me know

Thank you!

Edit:
If i start a task via the PowerManagement everything is fine. Just over the Basic Task - Advanced way i run into the problem.

[Tom Elliott]

@FritzBox360 Did you cancel the pre-existing task first and then try? I tested and saw the problem. The fix fixes the issue where it’s creating a tasking in the first place, it does not clear the task for you though.

[FritzBox360]

@Tom-Elliott yes, there are no active task. If i start a advanced wakeup for a group this task is hanging under the active tasks. I need to remove it manually.

[darkwad]

@Tom-Elliott Thanks a million, it worked ! (I just empty task table before applying.)

[Tom Elliott]

@FritzBox360 Did you run the command I requested, or just re-tried?

[FritzBox360]

@Tom-Elliott yes, i run your command with an empty task table but nothing changed

@Tom-Elliott, I cowardly run

cp /var/www/fog/lib/fog/group.class.php /var/www/fog/lib/fog/group.class.php-bak

I empty the MySQL task table in PHPMyAdmin and then run the command you requested:

wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/fog/group.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/c9431f0da0659fd5f6730b2a7e0ec0d38ad1f179/packages/web/lib/fog/group.class.php

No more error on group WOL. Thanks again

[Tom Elliott]

@FritzBox360 then can you change the -O portion to state:

wget -O /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/group.class.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/c9431f0da0659fd5f6730b2a7e0ec0d38ad1f179/packages/web/lib/fog/group.class.php

Also, please make sure there’s isn’t any erroneous spaces.

[FritzBox360]

@Tom-Elliott now it works not sure were the problem was … Thanks a lot!

[Tom Elliott]

@FritzBox360 You have two installations that are “separate” but functionally working from one location.

Mind running:

mv /var/www/fog /var/www/fog_old
ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/fog

So that this type of problem doesn’t happen again?

[FritzBox360]

@Tom-Elliott you are right! That was the problem. I do not know why i have two instances - i will clear and fix it tomorrow! Thank you Tom!
