Latest Development FOG

Tom,
In the latest SVN, what php file is storing the settings for custom ipxe boot menu ? When you add a custom menu item basically … what file stores that . Reading through the forums its under advanced but im going through all the code and im not coming across it.
-
Its pulled from the database no files.
-
Any documentation on adding the new custom IPXE Boot menu ? Just want to link my custom bootmenu item to an .iso.
-
there is no documentation, technically the feature isn’t released yet.
the method/syntax is very similar to what is done on the advanced boot menu, however -
Nothing directly but looking at the regular entries can help give an idea of what to do
-
So under paremeters whats the easiest way for me to link the .iso in the tftboot folder ?
-
you don’t need to link to the tftpboot, nor would I recommend it.
Linking an ISO in the tftpboot would mean you’re attempting to load the iso through tftp protocols. This tftp protocol is limited to 10Mbps (around) transmit rates.
-
personally, i create an /iso directory in my web root, and pull my disk images over http

SVN 2518 released.
I don’t know if it will work, but rather than pulling the entire query into a single variable, I’m using prepared statements which are supposedly unbuffered. Hopefully this will fix the issue of too much memory usage, though I’m suspecting it really won’t help at all. Either way, things seem to work on my side. I don’t have a large enough data set to have issues with this though either.
This release also moves all of the GUI stuff that referenced the location plugin in the source code to purely be based on the plugin. This way the plugin is a real plugin, not something that’s kind of a mix between core and plugin.
-
SVN 2519 released.
I had to revert the method’s of the mysql stuff back to the original as prepared statements won’t run for some reason with the prepared statements.
Hopefully we can figure something out.

SVN 2526 released.
Yes, quite a few. Basically it just adds the functionality to email yourself when an imaging task completes. Thanks Lee Rowlett.
I’ve heard of others requesting this functionality as well so hopefully you find it useful.
It defaults the email to disabled, but it’s in FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG Email Settings.
You’ll find:
FOG_EMAIL_ACTION, checked means enabled, unchecked means disabled.
FOG_EMAIL_BINARY, used to set the binary path, usually sendmail.
FOG_EMAIL_ADDRESS, specify your emails in the form [email]email1@domain.com[/email],[email]email2@papa.com[/email]. Separate emails by comma basically.
FOG_FROM_EMAIL, specifies who the email is coming from. ${server-name} is just a holder to get the node. So noreply@${server-name}.com will translate (if node’s name is weirdo) into [email]noreply@weirdo.com[/email] You can also specify in the form ${server-name}@domain, etc…You’ll also find:
FOG_MEMORY_LIMIT,sets the memory limits of GUI directly from FOG rather than having you all edit and restart web server. It will always default to 128, even if you set below or the value is not numeric. Higher values are kept. -
Love the email addition, I currently have a line in my post deployment script that calls blat and sends an email before the shutdown command.
Thanks Tom and Lee

SVN 2535 release.
Snapin Replication works properly, in that it will only copy over relevant snapins, not the entire snapin directory even if one of the snapins is only intended. Also made it so it works similar to images. Meaning snapins can be assigned to multiple storage groups and the data will be transferred between those groups. The node master of that group will then distribute to the rest of the nodes in it’s grouping.
Cleaned up a few installer bits as well and fixed the ubuntu installer so SnapinReplicator server gets started.

Tom, I just attempted to install rev 2542 on Ubuntu 14.04 (I know) in a new vm and it failed at setting up and starting MySql. I realize 14.04 isn’t officially supported but I haven’t had this issue before - I hadn’t done anything other than installing subversion prior to the install. I’ll try a supported version and see how it goes

All good, just let me know how it goes.
I haven’t seen any issues on my 14.04 box though so maybe something else went ary?

Just tried 13.10 and rev 2544 - same issue. I don’t think I’m doing anything differently than I have in the past, but it’s been a long weekend

When you’re installing the OS, are you installing with LAMP?

I’ve always used the minimal ISO, and just chose ‘manual package selection’ and FOG seemed to install its dependencies during the install - has this changed?
-
I think I found the issue.
IS it failing at setting up installer, or when you try to check for db update?

It looks like setting up the installer - it’s just after ‘configuring services’ but before prompting for the mysql password. /var/log/foginstall.log screenshot attached
