FOG v1.54 erroring on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS

george1421 · Oct 25, 2018, 7:53 PM

Since you are using the git method (good), inspect the log file in the ./fogproject/bin/logs directory. There should be an install log that will tell us what went wrong. FOG installs are automatically tested against all major linux distros every day.

The log file may give us an idea what is missing.

@dbrilliant Please post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list

There was an issue with Ubuntu 18.04 that I fixed in the working branch. See my comments here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/258

@dbrilliant Ubuntu 18.04 desktop or server? My daily tests use the server edition.

@dbrilliant What Sebastian is asking for is the output of this basically:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

dbrilliant · Oct 25, 2018, 8:47 PM

grubb@fogserver:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for grubb:
root@fogserver:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main
root@fogserver:~#
This is the output of:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

dbrilliant · Oct 25, 2018, 8:50 PM

Let me know if you need the remainder of the foginstall.log output, it will only allow me to copy one page at a time via nano.

Wayne Workman · Oct 25, 2018, 9:25 PM

@dbrilliant The below commands will add some repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list. I’m thinking this will fix your problem.

echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Then try to run the installer again.

Sebastian Roth · Oct 26, 2018, 4:25 AM

@dbrilliant Either Wayne’s commands or a simple sudo add-apt-repository universe should to the trick for you.

dbrilliant · Oct 26, 2018, 11:54 AM

That’s it thanks guys. I used sudo add-apt-repository universe, and there were about 20 packages out there. Now, if I can remember how to finish this project off. It’s been 7 years since I built a fog server. lol
