    I can’t seem do download the fog client application an Ubuntu machine I’m trying to image. When I click the link for the smart installer it downloads a .exe

    I haven’t been able to find any similar issues or relevant posts in my searches through the forum or on google.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      @Aysientor The SmartInstaller is indeed an EXE file. You need to install so called “mono” to be able to install and run the client. Find instructions here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_Client#Debian_8.2B.2C_Ubuntu_13.10.2B.2C_and_derivatives

      Not sure if those are still perfectly up to date with current Ubuntu versions, please let us know if you run into an issue with this.

      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)

        Oh, I don’t know how I missed that wiki page. I got mono and the client installed. Thank you!

          I got a chance to work on this a little more. I cant see the machine in my list of hosts on the fog server, and it doesn’t look like I can push snapins or start tasks through via the fog client.

          I made sure I can communicate with the server, reinstalled the client, manually started the fog service, and I didnt see any errors on the install log:

           4/12/2019 1:10 PM Middleware::Communication Download: http://fogserver/fog/management/other/ca.cert.der
           4/12/2019 1:10 PM Data::RSA Injecting root CA: 
          

          Is there something i’m missing?

          Thanks again!

            @Aysientor Depending on the mono version that is installed with Ubuntu there still is a bug that I am working on fixing in the fog-client. Well actually I think this might be more a bug/change in the mono packages rather than a bug in our client. Anyhow we have a workaround for this. Find information on this here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13070/client-not-authenticating

            I’ll probably get to properly fix this and release a new fog-client version in the next days.

            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)

              @Sebastian-Roth I replaced the .dll and restarted the service, then the machine, but still can’t see it.

              There doesn’t appear to be anything saved in /opt/fogservice/fog.log and manually starting the fog service show me this:

              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster systemd[1]: Starting FOGService...
              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster control.sh[2450]: cat: /opt/fog-service/service.lock: No such file or directory
              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster control.sh[2450]: starting fog-service
              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster control.sh[2450]: /opt/fog-service/control.sh: line 24: mono-service: command not found
              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster control.sh[2450]: fog-service started
              Apr 15 13:52:39 UbuntuMaster systemd[1]: Started FOGService.
              

              Is this telling me it can’t find mono? “which mono” tells me its installed in usr/bin/mono

                @Aysientor Searching the Ubuntu package database it seems to me that you need to install a package called mono-4.0-service (see here).

                Edit: That should actually be installed as a dependency when installing mono-complete as suggested in the wiki article.

                  @Sebastian-Roth Well it looks like I need to pay better attention to the wiki articles. I reinstalled mono, complete this time, and I was able to push a task to the host. The Host still doesn’t show up as online within the host list on fog, but I can live with that.

                  Thanks again! Now I can replace a fleet of windows signage machines!
