Solved Latest dev update, postdownload driver script broken

[Chris Shipley]

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.0-RC-9.3
• OS: Centos CentOS Release 6.8

Client

• Service Version: what came with 1.4.0-RC-9.3
• OS: Windows 10

Description

Prior to the latest update, drivers were downloading great. Now they are not, however. Please see attached screenshot for the error message. It’s not very detailed. I tried to ftp://foghost/images but it came up with an authentication screen: neither the CentOS root or fog user has access to it - not sure if that’s normal.

The information tells you what’s wrong.

I’m assuming you’re using the “driver injection” postdownload script?

It can’t find the location of the drivers, at least how it matches your device there.

This script is a “speciality” and should be customized for your specific environment.

If you can post your script it would certainly go a lot further to helping you out.

Your reason ftp failed could be any number of things. What “fog” user password were you using, the linux fog user, or the fog GUI password? (They are very different.)

[Chris Shipley]

this system downloaded drivers fine before the update, same system. and yes, using the driver injection.
For user names, I tried the UI user not the linux fog user. I’m not positive what password it uses. Here is the fog.drivers script:

The fog linux user is the password used for FTP.

This password is typically found in UI under Storage Management Page->Selec tyour relevant storage node for this device, Near bottom of the page is Management Username and Password (the password here is the fog linux user password).

Modified the script a little bit to try to give you more verbose information.

[Chris Shipley]

thanks. I emptied the drivers folder and it went through - perhaps the extra script information will assist me to find out why it failed when i had drivers in it. let’s mark this resolved.
