@george1421 No, I simply called my account username ‘user’
Thing is I had FOG working perfectly before but since then I had to redo the setup I am using and therefore had to reinstall FOG.
Again, really appreciate the fast replies.

@cary1102 This is an interesting one. All of the things that normally could be wrong are not in this case.
Lets go ahead an schedule another capture, but this time before you hit the schedule task button tick the check box for debug. Then schedule the task. PXE boot the target computer. After a few screens of text (you will need to push enter between) it will drop you to a linux command prompt.
At the FOS linux command prompt key in
fogto start the deployment. In this mode FOG will single step through the deployment. I think there is an error message earlier in the process that we are not seeing that could give us a clue. Lets see where the very first error is.BEFORE you do the deployment, lets make sure you did the two prerequeites.
- Disable the linux firewall.
- Set selinux to permissive and reboot.
Did you do both of those? I can see both causing an issue uploading images.

@george1421 Sorry in advance for not further testing this issue. I have had this issue before is why I have created the thread but my solution this time was simply reinstalling Ubuntu and FOG… I dont have an explanation as to why it works now but it does.
Anyways, thanks for your assistance! -
Just in case anyone in the future runs into this, my coworker had created an image. I think the DB was unhappy with some capital letter, or a space somewhere in the name. I made a new image, just stuck to all lowercase and no special characters and the image completed fine.

@bigmac really the only issues you will have might be with punctuation and forward and back slashes in the image name. The name of the image or at least the file path needs to be valid for linux. I would also avoid the double byte characters.

Hello,
I had the same problem with version 1.5.6. Downgrading to version 1.5.0, I do not have this problem anymore.
Version 1.5.6 seems unstable.best regards

@cary1102 hi, same problem here appears randomly. Any solution?? we are using 1.5.6.
Thanks -
@xisco What is your setup like? Is it just one main FOG server or do you have storage nodes as well?
Things that happen randomly usually point to changing conditions. I suspect your database/webserver might not always answer the same way it is supposed to. This can happen if you have many hosts with the fog-client installed. How many do you have?

@cary1102 I had this situation earlier today. After changing the local user account from “Fog” to something non"Fog", the issue went away. I also changed the partition settings to Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Resizable) from Single Disk - Resizable - (1).

I know this is kind of old, but I had this same issue yesterday. I fixed it by running the installer and upgrading.
I think it would have been fixed by simply re-running the installer if I didn’t have to upgrade. I was only one version behind. I’ve notice most issues with Fog can be fixed this way.
