Latest Development FOG
-
SVN 2867 Released.
With this release finally comes OOP styled Schema updater. I can now, rather simply, use a single file who’s sole purpose is the check and establish the schema while using the templated page information. This means, should we finally figure out a nice method, themes would affect all pages of fog including schema, login/logout, client, and the regular management pages. No need to edit many separate files to have things operate.
With the schema updater, it will allow you to generate a backup file now from the click of a button. Obviously if this is the first install it won’t do anything and may cause failures, but it is a simpler means to getting a backup than expecting a terminal to get the file itself. I haven’t decided quite yet if I want to allow you to recover from an old database though as the intent of the schema updater is to update your database. So using an old version would still return you to the updater page to begin with.
Also, with this comes a few minor fixes to ensure things can still work with little/no interruption. If fixes the value setting values so it will only set a value if the service to adjust actually exists rather than trying to use functions that may not be present (for example when you’re first installing fog not all functions can exist because nothing really exists until the db is generated.) For the SSL stuff, it tries to use the defined value of your snapins directory (typically /opt/fog/snapins/ssl) but if the setting isn’t accessible it might try using //ssl which there aren’t permissions for and probably doesn’t exist. Rather than that, it will actually assume /opt/fog/snapins/ssl in the case that the called setting is blank or doesn’t exist.

SVN 2874 released.
With this release comes a minor (albeit those of you used to it now may dislike it) change to image size on server setting on the GUI. While this setting is useful, it’s also time consuming when you have many images. This changes adds an ability to enable or disable this field with a default of disabled. Also, it’s adds the starting components to maybe allow mass deletion from an elements respective management page.
This will mean I can remove the “group mass delete hosts” option we currently have.

SVN 2891 released.
With this release comes a minor change in the tftp files. The undionly/ipxe/snp, whatever have all been embedded to check for next server. If next server isn’t set, it checks if proxydhcp/next server is set. If that’s not true, it re-initializes the interface and attempts it’s checks again. This should work across the board for those of you with dnsmasq as a helper/main method to distribute the pxe chaining needed to operate.
Also comes a lot of work to add in Mass deletions, modified deletions, for form elements. Each of the pages: User, Host, Group, Image, Snapin, and Printer, follow a similar methodology of how Hosts can join a group from the Host search/list portion. There’s a series of checkboxes. When paired with the delete button, it will allow you to mass remove those elements after your confirmation of course. I’ve also added to the edit portions, where relevant (not fully done yet) similar methodologies to the multi-add portions to allow you to more easily remove elements as well.
Hopefully this makes FOG GUI a little bit more intuitive and easier to work with.

SVN 2895 released.
All the pages should have the multi-deletion capabilities all ready to go. This includes from edit pages of the relevant items too. Hopefully you’ll all enjoy.

There is a problem as the first time I do a search the delete and group options are not present in the bottom of the host list. I have to hit the link New search to get these options available.

And it says “Delete all selected hosts” even in Printer Management and Group management.
-
All those issues should work now.
For the new search part to just work, it relies pretty heavily on jquery. So you may need to clear your current browser cache to make sure things are good to go.

SVN 2907 released.
Should fix fresh installs from trying to create an NFS share without a folder actually existing (/opt/fog/clamav). Rather than copying non-existent folder, it just simply makes the directory on the system. This should allow nfs to startup properly.
It should also, more accurately, detect if a system is a node or not for any Linux OS. This is because ifconfig might not be in POSIX standard and return the IP with a phrase in it. If for some reason the ip addr method fails, it will try the ifconfig. This should help out for more modern Redhat/Fedora/CentOS os’s too.

[/quote]Thank you Tom for All of your hard work

SVN 2913 Released.
With this comes an attempt to run fixparts if for some reason the disk isn’t able to be uploaded. All that’s update here is the script files, but init’s are updated with these changes as well.
-
Running SVN 2922 and after creating a task to deploy and network booting, it dumps out of PXE, and does a local drive boot. Systems can network boot to the FOG menu. If you create a task to deploy via FOG menu, or web UI, the system will not image. Currently unable to deploy any systems. Uh oh…
-
I’m taking a look, but is it any or all tasks? Or a specific tasking?
-
I think I know what’s wrong with your system UpACreek.
The sourceforge pages have been acting up all day. I’m in the works to see if I can get you your files, but from what I can tell, it fails to boot into Tasking simply because when you updated the init.xz/init_32.xz and bzImage/bzImage32 files have not been downloaded.
-
Creating a unicast deployment. Just hooked up another system, created a deployment task and similar results.
Let me know if there is a place I can get you more info. -
Ah, ok. I’ll keep an eye out here.
-
can you try manually downloading the files to your system with:
[code]wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/InitList/init_32.xz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffreeghost%2Ffiles%2FInitList%2F&ts=1421942752&use_mirror=superb-dca2 -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init_32.xz
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/InitList/init.xz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffreeghost%2Ffiles%2FInitList%2F&ts=1421942842&use_mirror=superb-dca2 -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/KernelList/bzImage?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffreeghost%2Ffiles%2FKernelList%2F&ts=1421942869&use_mirror=superb-dca2 -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/KernelList/bzImage32?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffreeghost%2Ffiles%2FKernelList%2F&ts=1421942901&use_mirror=iweb -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32[/code]Then try your tasking again?
-
Working on this now… Will report back in a few minutes.
-
SVN 2923 released.
Should fix the Invalid Mac address happening on non-imaging related tasks.
-
Looks to be the same problem. I may have had a firewall issue when downloading. Now moved the system to an unrestricted proxy.
This is what the system flashes for a mere second before it dumps.[ATTACH=full]1624[/ATTACH]

Looks like it’s not downloading the init.xz or init_32.xz.
Hence the exec error.
