@mjaskowski Did you get to compile the kernel yet?

@Christopher-Drew We started to work on this topic not long ago: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8803/trouble-installing-smartclient-on-macos-sierra It’s just too many issues and too little developers helping out fixing stuff. I couldn’t keep up with this as other things came up more pressing. Are you willing and keen to setup a fog-client development environment and help work on this?

@foguser2018 Please start a new thread with pictures of how you have it setup. I understand your situation may be similar but your configuration may not be exact. To avoid confusing future readers we like to keep issues isolated if possible unless your conditions match exactly.

OK, well, as an update, It looks like I was banging my head against a bad repo for the php stuff I walked through the logs of a successful install (by a colleague) and compared them. All is good now. Thanks

@Birgit-Godfrey I would also check and make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed on your system. We have run into issues that PXE booting was not always stable or even worked until we updated the BIOS. Also, you need to make sure that you change refind_x64.efi, if using 64bit, file to the 0.11.0 rEFInd. We had to change both of them in order for things to boot. Something pretty new for FOG.

@george1421 It was worse than i thought. Ubuntu wouldn’t start so it looks like a complete refresh :-(

They do occasionally have different or old BIOS versions, which I update after Windows is finished loading. But they all have the same settings.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks. This is very helpful

@mike-S Your simple question has a lot of content behind it. Fog does have a function to install applications or run programs on the target computer. Fog doesn’t care about applications or customization. That is up to the IT Tech to properly configure. Must windows application support MSI installation. This MSI installations support command line options to configure the application. Other applications (like adobe acrobat reader) have a customization program that creates a profile ini file that is used during application installation to configure the applications. MS Office has a similar configuration tool. So can FOG deploy applications, yes. Can FOG deploy application customizations, yes (as long as the application has been preconfigured). Can FOG customize applications, No. If you would have mentioned the application there may be instructions online about how to configure. If you want to google yourself, search for “Unattended install” and your application name.

FINALLY!! I figured out the problem. It would always fail the PXE boot in legacy and for some reason I used EFI PXE boot and it now works on this laptop.

@tlehrian Can you please run the following commands in a debug session on one of your machines: basename $(readlink /sys/block/nvme0n1/device) basename $(readlink /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/device) basename $(readlink /sys/block/nvme1n1/device) basename $(readlink /sys/block/nvme1n1/device/device) I borrowed that from this script. As well referenced in this topic. I am wondering if the so called BDF (bus/device/function) notation is consistent across reboots. Edit: Quite possibly the BDF will also change. Reading the section on “PCI Bus enumeration” in this wikipedia article I can imagine that it’s just the nature of those kind of devices. Edit 2: Hmmmmmmm: https://superuser.com/questions/488833/do-pci-pcie-buses-and-devices-always-enumerate-in-the-same-order (not sure if this applies to PCIe NVMe devices at all)

@AndrewG78 We need more information. Please check all the logs in /var/log/fog/... and upload log files here.

You’re trying to pull something from the images folder over https, but https isn’t configured to serve that location. Think more along the lines of /var/www/fog

@bogle Ah ok. I don’t know how the cloning would affect the intricacies of a web server. Please feel free to start a new thread if you run into any troubles with the windows imaging later.

@Sebastian-Roth Yes found this Wiki when I was migrating, thank you

@Junkhacker Checking it out! We had to move our workspace around the office… Edit: We got sick interns, colleges on vacations :( having a hard time scraping time together.

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for your help! @Quazz You are absolutely right. I always struggle to keep the copying behavior between Linux and robocopy. Sure enough there was a snapin folder inside of the snapin folder. I thought that I had checked that but probably just saw that files were there and did not pay attention to the path. The hashes now exist and I saw that in the logs that it was generated and deploying of those snapins now work as expected. I appreciate everyone’s help and willingness :)

Got it! Thanks.

@David-Raymond said in Cannot find disk on a new Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 using FOG: I have for testing using the dock that came with them. Just an additional comment. The WD19 docks that come with the 7400 give marginal support for PXE booting. Sometimes they show up and sometimes (most) of the times pxe booting isn’t an option. The older WD15s and the usb-c dongles work 100% of the time. You may be limited in running FOG inside virtualbox on the 6430. FOG running on bare metal on the 6430 would be just fine for a deployment only system. I would swap out those 6430 delivered hard drives (which are slug speed slow) with an SSD drive. That SSD under windows will make the 6430 fell like a new computer (even at twice the weight of a 7280). Good luck with your deployment. FOG should perform well for you.

@Chuck2000 Ok that’s probably the best solution especially with the newer hardware that is coming out. But some like to hold onto the old versions of fog for some reason. I guess if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.
