@Clebboii These warnings are safe to ignore. While the REQUEST_METHOD issue you’re seeing has already been fixed in dev-branch, the dashboard page issue you’re seeing is just because sometimes the values are set, sometimes they’re not. Unfortunately there’s no real way to validate cleanly. (at least right away or easily at this point in time. But it’s not causing issues.)

I’m not seeing there being issues with the files syncing? It seems, to me, the location it’s sending the file to (192.168.140.39) isn’t accepting ftp?

@george1421 Resolved: A 3rd party package in my router was intercepting my outbound FTP connections.

I still get this error when I try to Create a New Image:
This page isn’t working
10.149.50.21 is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

Web searches says this is a server provider issue. Is there something in Fog Project that can be checked for me?

Thanks @george1421,
I haven’t setup Fog yet so was looking for a step by step guide to getting it installed and configured.

I’ve gotten a very similar set up to what you want and have tried working.

You’ll need to either rebuild the FOG version of iPXE with the shim command enabled or use a stock version of iPXE with the default.ipxe script replaced with an autoexec.ipxe script (I haven’t tested this so you mileage may vary). Once you’ve done that you can just sign your iPXE binary with your sec boot key, and save it as grubx64.efi (or see this Shim Issue or this part of the foguefi install script if you use Dell PCs.)

Finally now when you netboot, provided you also have mokmanager (mmx64.efi) in the same folder, you’ll be prompted to install your secboot key and on next boot you’ll be able to boot. iPXE with secure boot on. You will also need to sign you bzImage etc and then modify your default.ipxe script to load the shim with the shim command, and then you’ll be able to boot into fog fully!

If anyone wants I can put together a more coherent guide and I’m happy to answer any questions you have on this.

Hi @Tom-Elliott,

Currently both nodes are in the same storage group as I want to replicate images and snapins from the Master to the Normal storage Node. I read through some documentation and it seems this should still happen if they are in different storage groups. Is this true?

If so, I believe this second issue should be fixed.

@Fog_Newb probaly just typoed it and i went with it too lol.

@marcolefo Sounds like the package ‘build-essential’ should be an install target of the FOG install script? It doesn’t seem to be.

However I think my distro installs of Debian 12 and Mint 22.1 both installed that package by default.

@Tom-Elliott sounds good!

Solved for me on Linux Mint 22.1

The base problem is that php-mysqlnd is a “virtual package” that is included in the package php-mysql, and trying to install it individually (as the FOG install script does) fails with apt dumping a list of php mysql versions and that “You should explicitly select one to install.” Even if php-mysql is already installed.

The solution for me was to remove php-mysqlnd as an install target in the FOG install scripts. As of this date, that includes:

In file [fog install pkg path]/lib/ubuntu/config.sh:

remove ‘php-mysqlnd’ from line 26 "packages="apache2[…]

In the file [fog install pkg path]/lib/common/functions.sh:

remove the lines

php-mysql*) for phpmysql in $(echo php-mysqlnd php-mysql); do eval $packagelist "$phpmysql" >>$error_log 2>&1 if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then x=$phpmysql break fi done ;;

@george1421 Thank you so much! I enabled portfast on the switch port, and it works on physical PCs.

But sometimes this error appears even if I haven’t changed anything in the configuration and files. Even if I update or roll back the init.xz or bzImage file to a previous version, it doesn’t help. The only thing that seems to work is setting up a completely new FOG server, but after some time, the problem can come back. How I can find right version or how I can solve this problem? Most time it error on PCs with UEFI

@uzee FOG doesn’t change or really step into the target system during deployment. You CAN do this if you write a post install script that will get called once the target image is deployed to the target computer. In the case of a linux computer you could potentially set the target computer’s name here by updating the /etc/hostname file or anything else you can do with a bash script. The FOG Client can also be configured to make changes to the target computer or install applications based on instructions from the fog server. Its really identifying what you want to do and how much automation you want to script. Its all possible with FOG and a little creativity on your end. Since you already know Ubuntu (linux) bending FOG to what you want will be easier than coming strictly from a MS Windows background.

version is 1.5.10

I was not able to figure out capturing the image from a VM, I decided to use an actual desktop as the master/golden image. It made more sense as it would include the right hardware type, drivers, etc. I have captured the image finally. Now on to deployment
