      Hi,

      We are experiencing some issues related to snapin installation both in ubuntu and windows clients.

      FOG Server version: 1.5.10.1639
      FOG Client 0.13, both in our Windows as in our Ubuntu systems.

      We have classrooms with more than 30 computers and dual boot (Windows, Ubuntu).

      The situation is that we have (for example) the thirty computers in the classroom logged in in Windows and we want a snapin to be installed in all the 30 windows systems. It is very common that let’s say 15 computers have the snapin in the state Queued for ever.

      We then force a Reset encryption data from the server and this is not enough, they are still queued.

      It seems that the FOG Client gets disconnected (timeout?) from the server after a while and the only way we have to get the snapin Checked-In is by restarting manually the FOG Client service.

      The maintenance free gaps we have are short which makes this issue important to be resolved.

      I guess there must be some specific FOG Server configuration to avoid this problem but I don’t find it.

      Any help would be really apreciated.
      Thanks in advance,

        Hello,

        I started to experience that as well with that version yesterday. When I get to work today, I’m gonna work on it. If I get it going, I’ll reply as well.

            @mfe Can you provide the FOG Client Logs?

            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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

            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

              Tom,

              I did a google search and it told me to run nano /var/log/apache2/error.log on the fog server.
              I saw these error message which I’m thinking it has to do with the snapins, just not sure on how to fix them:

              I have Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, FOG server version.

              I even upgraded to the DEV version and had the same issue:

                @Jamaal The client lives on the Machine itself. not on the fog server.

                Those logs live on teh Windows machine I forget the exact path but something like:

                c:\program files\fog client\fog-error.log or something like that?

                      Yes, it’s c:\program files (x86)\fog\fog.log

                      I figured out the issue, lol. I was having a moment, but thanks for helping me out.
