Error while installing FOG on Ubuntu 18.04

[andreiv]

I found info on how to solve the libcurl issue here on the forum but now, almost near the end, It stops with another error:

Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.

Setting up storage…OK
Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 169: Error:: syntax error in expression (error token is “:”)
…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 271: let: octet4+=: syntax error: operand expected (error token is “+=”)
Failed!

Problem solved. Looks like the libcurl error caused this also. I did a fresh install and modified the reference to libcurl3 before starting the install and all went well.

For future readers, this is already fixed in the up-coming 1.5.3 release.

@andreiv Erm, something seems to have broken it again in 1.5.5

This happens at the beginning where I enter the needed configuration data:

What network interface would you like to use? enp6s0
../lib/common/functions.sh: Zeile 149: /8: Syntax Fehler: Operator erwartet. (Fehlerverursachendes Zeichen ist »/8«).

Would you like to setup a router address for the DHCP server? [Y/n]

And this then happens at the end:

* Setting up and starting DHCP Server.........................../lib/common/functions.sh: Zeile 169: Error:: Syntaxfehler im Ausdruck. (Fehlerverursachendes Zeichen ist »:«).
../lib/common/functions.sh: Zeile 271: let: octet4+=: Syntax Fehler: Operator erwartet. (Fehlerverursachendes Zeichen ist »+=«).
Failed!

@Rhywden What OS and version are you running?

enp6s0

Do you have an IP configured on that interface enp6s0 before running the installer?? FOG does not do this for you! IP needs to be set beforehand.

I tried it on both Debian 8 and Ubuntu 18.04

Yes. Statically set to a valid IP address.

Basically I want to set it up thus that it’s able to connect to an existing network over Wifi (i.e. not this interface) while the enp6s0 interface is connected to a switch I’m then connecting the laptops to I want to image. Which also means that DHCP to anything other than enp6s0 is strictly verboten.

We have automatic daily installer test running and there is no general issue with Debian or Ubuntu I can assure you.

Make sure that interface is up and has an IP! Run ip a s before running the installer and post output here.

Basically I want to set it up thus that it’s able to connect to an existing network over Wifi.

Ok then you need to configure both interfaces. First WLAN, get an IP and make sure you have internet access through that (ping -c ix.de). Then configure enp6s0 with a static IP and make sure the interface is UP!

ip a s
…
2: enp6s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
