      Hi all,
      I backed up all my previous images from FOG to a external USB drive, and cleanly installed Ubuntu Server 18.4 LTS and updated it with the necessities, as well as git.
      I followed the instructions from FOG Wiki for FOG v1.54, and started the install. I’m getting almost all the way through the installer until “Installing now everything is updated… Failed!” There is no firewall or advanced setup, everything is basic on my Ubuntu box. I previously had a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install with FOG v1.2, but with UEFI/Windows 10, I now have to re-do our FOG server. I tried 16.04 and was sucessfull in installing FOG, but there was an issue with the NICs not working correctly. So I wiped the machine clean, and installed 18.04 LTS.

      From what I read from about 6 months ago, there was a work in progress to get a version working for this OS. Is there a solid, working version out there of FOG v1.54 for Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS?

      Any assistance would be very appreciative.

        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.

        http://fogtesting.theworkmans.us/

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

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @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

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                        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.

                          @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.

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

                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                              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
