        Is there anyway to add the password option to these advanced items like in version .32?

        Thanks,
        Andy Morris

          Yes, and no.

          The password “options” are no longer using md5pass as they once where.

          The easiest method would be to add login prompts.

          I don’t know much more about all the details you’d need though.

          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!

          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)

            Just wanted to protect the items like it did in .32. I will take a look.
            Thanks,

                I’m still experiencing Advanced Menu selection issue mentioned by Danny and Andy. Screen flickers and default menu appears with blue background.

                Tested with svn 1783 and 1799

                I will update the subversion again now to see if there is any difference.

                I’ve been using Junkhackers sample code from [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/#post-26419’]this post[/URL]

                menu
                item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
                item shell ipxe shell
                item return return to previous menu
                choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                :ipxedemo
                chain [url]http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php[/url] ||
                goto MENU

                :shell
                shell ||
                goto MENU

                :return
                chain [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}[/url] ||
                prompt
                goto MENU

                autoboot[/FONT]

                  check for typo’s and/or hidden symbols from copying and pasting. ipxe is very picky

                    Hmm… I’ve tried clearing the field and retyping from scratch and still the same issue persists.

                    I also tried just typing basic commands in the field:

                    [CODE]echo hello world[/CODE]
                    [CODE]shell[/CODE]

                    I even tried to change the background to something obvious…
                    [CODE]cpair --foreground 3 --background 6 0[/CODE]

                    No matter what I put in the Advance Menu Code field the result is still a blue background with the default menu list

                    As expected if I leave the field blank the Advance Menu option is not listed on the default menu. Same result with svn 1801. Perhaps I will roll up my sleeves and dig into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/advanced.php

                    Appreciate any guidance.

                    Thanks

                      I’d start here:
                      [code]:MENU
                      menu
                      item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                      item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
                      item shell ipxe shell
                      item return return to previous menu
                      choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                      :ipxedemo
                      chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php ||
                      goto MENU

                      :shell
                      shell ||
                      goto MENU

                      :return
                      chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
                      ############prompt###################
                      goto MENU

                      autoboot
                      [/code]

                      Remove the prompt because it doesn’t know how to interpret the prompt itself is what I’m guessing. Maybe you wanted:
                      [code]
                      :return
                      chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || prompt && goto MENU
                      [/code]

                      The || and a new line just tells iPXE to if it fails, do nothing successfully, which it’s doing, but it doesn’t know how to pass back. It could also be the :MENU setting, but that shouldn’t matter too much.

                        My issue is fixed. I posted my update in the wrong thread. The full answer is here:
                        [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/page-2#post-30033’]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/page-2#post-30029[/URL]

                        Basically my advanced.php was out of date and wasn’t being updated in svn updates. Hard coding my server IP fixed advanced menus for me.

                          What does the “Exit to Hard Drive Type” do/change?

                            it changes how ipxe attempts to exit and allow the computer to the hard drive. different bios may require different methods to boot properly
