Ubuntu is FOG's enemy

How difficult is it to migrate from an existing FOG server / FOG storage node running Ubuntu to Centos from a FOG perspective?

[Wayne Workman]

@Joe-Gill Easy, here’s the guide: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG

Great I found this as solution for the same problem that suddenly appear here, i remove the “unattended-upgrades” from Ubuntu and I hope that don’t happen again. , solved!

Thanks @Tom-Elliott !

Hey there Canonical, you’re not doing yourself any favors when you change settings the admin has manually set. I hoped someone on your team would have read this thread and made changes accordingly to prevent the continuance of mayhem, but alas it seems nobody has… Don’t you have Google alerts setup when the words “Canonical” are used on-line?

Hello!

First of all, my English is terrible!

I downloaded CentOS 7 and FOG 1.4.4 today, with all updates, i follow exactly all the installation steps contained in FOG Wiki, even so i have the same problem described here.

I was able to resolve the issue with the instructions in that topic, in this case, as follows:

PS: At the time of installation I did NOT leave the mysql password blank, I set a password.

sudo -i
mysql -u root
set password for 'root' @ 'localhost' = password('password entered at the time of installation fog');
set password for 'root'@'127.0.0.1' = password('password entered at the time of installation fog');
update mysql.user set plugin = 'mysql_native_password';

That done, I was able to access the web GUI normally!

@wanderson and @Tom-Elliott, thank you so much!

@haylander Typing in a password during the installer does not set a password for the database, it merely tells the fog installer ‘here, use this password to access the DB’, which won’t work if that password isn’t set prior.

[haylander]

@wayne-workman got it…

so I misunderstood when I thought the database was fully built in the FOG installation…

anyway thank you!

@Tom-Elliott said in Ubuntu is FOG's enemy:

apt-get -y remove unattended-upgrades

This saved my bacon, thank you very much, first command failed but second one worked, i have also run the unattended-upgrades command, once again thank you.
