Host Screen Resolution
-
Hi,
I also tried to use this service for some computers in our school (teacher computer with projector) but it did’nt work so I’m also interested ! Could be very usefull
Thanks,
Matthieu -
@Sebastian-Roth A fresh fog-client version with the DisplayManager code would be excellent. We can give it a try and see if it works. Thanks for the help.
-
@JoshA @Matthieu-Jacquart Installer binaries for testing:
https://fogproject.org/fog-client/displaymanager/FOGService.msi
https://fogproject.org/fog-client/displaymanager/SmartInstaller.exeThe build is just a quick one, not signed or anything. So you can install and use those as normal (I think) but the SmartInstaller can’t be used with the auto updating mechanism included in the fog-client because of the missing binary signing.
See if you get anything about DisplayManager in the logs. Post logs here!

@Sebastian-Roth Hi,
I installed new binaries on a test computer, which has a default screen resolution of 1440x900. I activate display manager service for this hosts and set screen resolution to 1336x768 on Fog web UI, unfortunatly resolution didn’t change and fog.log return this :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------DisplayManager-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16/01/2020 08:17 Client-Info Client Version: 0.11.17 16/01/2020 08:17 Client-Info Client OS: Windows 16/01/2020 08:17 Client-Info Server Version: 1.5.7.93 16/01/2020 08:17 Middleware::Response Success 16/01/2020 08:17 DisplayManager Resolution is already configured correctly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
@Matthieu-Jacquart Can you please post the full log here? Is this the same message for
DisplayManager
all over the log? -
@Sebastian-Roth fog.log
Yes same message all over the log -
@JoshA @Matthieu-Jacquart Ok, looking through the code I think I found an issue and fixed it. Please download the Modules_fix01.dll, stop FOGService on the client, move the new DLL to
C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\Modules.dll
(rename the original one before). Now start off the FOGService again and take a look at the log. Post output here. -
@Sebastian-Roth Resolution didn’t change but fog.log return this :

@Matthieu-Jacquart said in Host Screen Resolution:
Current Resolution: 0 x 0 0hz
This seems to be a bit stange.
Display name: Generic PnP Monitor
As well I am wondering if this really is the correct display on your PC.
So I went ahead and added more code to figure this out. Download new module and try again. Log output will be long, post it here.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Now there are just thousands of lines with same output :
18/01/2020 18:37 DisplayManager:Display * S (0 x 0, 0hz
-
@Matthieu-Jacquart said in Host Screen Resolution:

Really thousands? So it seems like the enumeration loop doesn’t exit properly. Sorry for that. Next try…
EDIT: Give it a try but it’s probably not much better. I need to do more testing on this myself to figure it out. Won’t have enough time right now. Maybe next week.
-
@Sebastian-Roth ok much better for number of lines !

I’ll make a try on another PC because this one is pluged on a KVM hub, so maybe screen is not well recognized…

Give it a try but I am farily sure the code is still not right. The module was never ready for production and so it needs more work I think.

and displaymanager is not anymore in 0.11.18 client
-
@Matthieu-Jacquart I feel really dumb as I’ve just figured out that DisplayManager is not run within the FOGService but the FOGUserService process (run in user context). There is so much I still need to learn about this piece of software…
So what that means is that DisplayManager actually has been enabled in the fog-client for a long time. Just need to check the right log file,
%USERPROFILE%/.fog_user.log
in this case. Still this is not working currently but I will take a look in the next days. -
@Sebastian-Roth OK ! I found this log :

@Sebastian-Roth Hi,
I’m still searching for a solution to force screen resolution on teachers computers, is there any way to do this with Fog now ?
Thanks,
Matthieu -
Hey @Matthieu-Jacquart! Hope you are doing fine. I’ve had this on my list of things to look at for a long time now but never got to it. Don’t think I will get to it before Winter as there is just to much going on right now.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Hi Seb, no problem I get it very well, you all made great job ! Keep me in touch if you need any test
