Web interface slow navigating and gray screen - fog 0.32

[creserva]

When I go FOG Kernel Updates. I should query new updates but this one just giving me that “so if it seems like the process is hanging please be patient.”

I checked the FOG_PROXY_IP it is empty.

Does your FOG server have internet access? The FOG web management login page tries to do an AJAX query to show the latest version and how many FOG servers are reporting in.

I just end up creating a new hyper-v new ubuntu server 12.04.4 and new 0.32 fog server and works perfect. But, I have all the host and images, hardware inventory everything. Please advise how can I export then import to the new server. Thanks

I don’t know which will work best for you and your setup, but you should work.

Also,

Did the other server, by chance, get restarted before you started having the grey screen and such? Was tftpd-hpa service running? 12.04 has issues where tftp daemon starts before the NIC has an IP address, so it could potentially cause issues on the new server as well. Just a forewarning.

I guess I should only test 1 images and couple of workstation. I think i can move the images from old server to the new server. As far restarting the old server, I did that as well and many times haha.

I am still cannot fog a host. I get stuck with this error

failed to execute /sbin/v86d

make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable

Try a different kernel. Probably a driver issue in the bzImage kernel. You can update kernels using the FOG Web UI, or you can download and replace them manually in the /tftpboot/fog/kernel/ folder.

thanks for the quick reply. I will try that and report back.

I wanted to let you guys know that. My old fog server is now fixed with this custom kernel.

The only issue just left is just slow navigating on WEB interfaces I think I could live with it. But, fogging workstation seems to be alright.

Looks like I managed to resolved issue. I am pretty new to linux command, so I ask my co-worker how to add dns entry on my ubuntu lts. So he gave me commands below.

vi /etc/network/interfaces
then go to the end of the line gateway, type a, then hit enter.
type dns-nameservers ipaddressofdns
then hit ESC
then :wq
then /etc/init.d/networking restart

My fogserver is faster than ever.
