I did a new install on different machine and am having trouble with
Installing package: php-mysqlnd…Failed! (Will try later)
Started with Ubuntu 18.04.1 and fog 1.5.4.
I tried going back to ubunutu 16 and then 14 with fog 1.5.4 and 1.4.4 in all combinations. Still get the php-mysqulnd error. I currently have 18.04.1 back on the machine and am trying to install 1.5.4.
I am stuck.

@bsalogga Is this a clean FOG install attempt? just read the other posts, it’s an upgrade so below advice should work afaik

Afaik, FOG should try to install php-mysql before php-mysqlnd which should make it return that it’s installed as a virtual package.

Instead there is no attempt to install php-mysql at all.

Does /opt/fog/.fogsettings exist? If so, delete the packages= line (in .fogsettings) and rerun the installer

@bsalogga Just to be sure, this is NOT a brand new install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS but rather there was a previous “clean” install of some older version and then it was UPGRADED to the current LTS of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS? Yes?

@Boyan-Biandov

clean install

@Quazz
no .fogsettings, but tried removing packages= from installfog.sh. Same error.

@bsalogga Try sudo apt-get purge sysv-rc-conf and then run the installer again.

@bsalogga Are you using desktop or server Ubuntu 18.04.1 ? My daily tests use server edition, no GUI, 18.04

@Sebastian-Roth
Still not working. Error for the php-mysqlnd.

Just for everyone to notice. Initially this was a question about an upgraded Ubuntu installation but a fresh install was done now.

Please run sudo add-apt-repository universe and then re-run the FOG installer.

If that still does not work you want to try out the latest working branch of FOG (either directly using git or ZIP download). We have addressed Ubuntu 18.04 issues there.

I agree with @Sebastian-Roth - a new install runs, in fact just recently I asked the same exact question just to be sure before I undertake a move since I’ve seen some prior issues but the discussion put that to rest, Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS installs just fine:

@Boyan-Biandov Ubuntu 18.04 is not exactly like 18.04.1 - see my comment here https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/261

I just figured what the difference is Ubuntu 18.04 server comes in two different flavors. One is the normal server ISO and the other one is the LIVE server. For 18.04 straight you could still download both versions. But seems like since 18.04.1 is out there is only the LIVE server image available anymore. I just installed 18.04.0 plain server and it has the mentioned universe section in sources.list
Here is a link for the non-live ISOs

Using desktop. Since you mentioned server version, I gave it a try, but added gnome desktop. Same error.

Was this a fresh clean install? Please provide the full logs again so we can have a look. It’s not helpful to just say “same error”.
