Is there any FOG forum in German language?
-
Hi @ all,
I am an absolutly newcomer in the linuxworld and I was very happy when I was lucky with installing ubuntu 12.04 and FOG-Server. I think configure the FOG was O.K but now nothing functions :-((
And I googled many hours, but I always found threads only in English language but my English is too bad.I want to creat an image of a WinXP-mashine and I go to task-management click “list all hosts” the host I want to create an image from is listed. But if I click “upload” I always get the error: “Unable to start task Unable to located master node from storage group.”
Please help if possible in German language.
Best regards

Use Ubuntu 10.04.
Install Ubuntu (create user account that is not “fog”)
Update (sudo apt-get update)
Upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade)
Install FOG -
Ich würde dir wie mein Vorposter ebenfalls empfehlen Ubuntu 10.04 LTS als Basis für FOG zu benutzen. Damit hatte ich bisher keine Probleme. Falls du dann Probleme beim Imagen oder Deployen hast, müsste man im Einzelnen gucken, woran es liegen könnte.
Soweit ich weiß gibt es kein deutschsprachiges Forum für FOG.

Warum kann ich nicht ubuntu 12.04 verwenden, das habe ich in einer deutschen Installationsanleitung so gelesen. Ich war so froh, dass ich nach etlichen Versuchen das ubuntu endlich installiert hatte. Der FOG-Server ließ sich ja auch gut installieren und konfigurieren. Mein Versuchshost(winXP-Maschine) hat sich auch gleich registriert und ist auf dem FOG-Server vorhanden. Ich schaff es nur nicht ein image von dem host auf dem FOG-Server zu erzeugen. Siehe obige Fehlermeldung. Ich hab das Problem auch in einigen threads gefunden, aber die waren alle in englischer Sprache und ich hab die Lösung nicht verstanden.
Gruß

Ubuntu 12.04 hat Probleme mit TFTP und einige Paket Veränderungen, die nicht immer gut mit FOG. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS funktioniert super und ist die am meisten auf den Foren unterstützt.

I`m going on to install ubuntu 10.04 During installation there is the question “What software should be installed:
DNS server
LAMP server
Mail server
and so on”
Is there any software I should select?
If installation and upgrade is successful is it possible to copy the fog folder which I saved from ubuntu 12.04 to an external hdd or is there an other way to install fog?
Best regards and thanks very much

/opt/fogBut now there is another big problem. I finished installation started ubuntu and after login I only get a commandline. I can
t work with commandline, Im a absolutly newcomer with linux. I need a graphical desktop like gnome or anything else. What can I do?
Best regards

most of FOG admin is all done through the Web user interface, so there is no need for a GUI.
but if you must,
sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
no reason to keep /opt/fog either.

I`m not even able to start a webbrowser from commandline therefor I need gnome.
If there is no reason to copy the fog folder from where or how can I get fog now?
thanks

O.K. Was a hard job
but I finished installation of the fog-server. I`m not shure whether I answered all the questions correctly but hope I can fix it later if something was wrong. After fog-installation I installed the fog-service at a windows-client.
But the client only boots into windows
What can I do now?
Best regards

Boot to LAN or network boot. Choose option from menu to perform full host registration and inventory.
-
First boot order in bios is PXE but the client doesnt boot from network. When I had ubuntu 12.04 it did. What can I do now?
-
any error message when booting from LAN? Does your client get IP address from DHCP server?
-
No error message but it seems like client is searching a DHCP-Server and doesn`t find any. In what file can I set the IP-Adresse of the DHCP-Server. and should I take the Fog-servers ip or my routers ip?
At the client I found a file with name
fog.log
