Latest Development FOG
-
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 42553, member: 7271”]While I know I was making progress, just too much has been breaking. I’ll be rethinking things down the road, but for right now i have reverted all changes back to 2996. It’s just not worth things not working any more simply for some performance gains. I can think about how to apply these things down the road.[/quote]
Spoken like a true developer.

3051 should fix, as far as I can tell, nearly all problems from the interface. It’s still a work in progress but it seems much more stable than in the past few days. Thanks all for the reporting on this and attempting to get this figured out.
With it also comes a simplistic new feature and plugin written by Jbob. It’s an event notifier. This means, for example, you can push notifications to your phone, mobile device, and or computer informing you when something happens. It’s very similar to hooks but does not require much building beyond the specific object file itself. It’s designed to work similarly to hooks including plugins as well. This means you don’t need to call events in the core code but, when paired with hooks, you can use the existing hook events to establish the event caller as needed and where needed.
Hopefully you all find this feature useful and the current version behaving much more nicely on your systems.

Hi Tom,
excuse me a question: when pushing on images icon, last menu choice “Multicast image”. What’s that for?
Thanks,Frank
-
Multicast Session Joining.
-
Do you mean to join an existing multicast session or create a new one?
I don’t want to bother you, then if there is a document or a thread explaining that it will be enough for me.
Thanks.Frank
-
It’s allowing you to create a session out of any image.
You can join to that session from the ipxe menu.
-
Great!! Thanks

I have a really weird issue. I just updated to 3051 and I’m can’t update my schema. Every time I try I get told that my database is up to date. But when I look at my FOG configuration it still says I’m on 2979.

Running 2607 right now. Works nice bud. Just wanted to say nice work. Is the email feature working yet ? Do I have to set my smtp settings through my PHP. ini ?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 38892, member: 7271”]No, you do not need to setup php.ini sendmail/email smtp stuff.[/quote]
Hi all, currently testing the latest SVN [r3054]. unsure how to get mail notifications working can someone please help me with setting this up? is this feature finished/working yet?
where do I specify our smtp server?
so far this release is really good, have only tested upload/download/ad rename & joining as that’s all i need @ the moment I am still on 0.32 in my production so looking forward to the final release with the updated client.
edit: just to add i’m running Debian 7
thanks

Hi, I just upgraded to the last SVN and my clients can’t download any image.
There’s a blinking cursor in the bottom left ad if there was a key pressed and the screen is scrolling up continuously.
I’ve tried reverting to a previous SVN but the problem persists.
Any idea?
-
What, exact, revision are you running? The “last” doesn’t mean a whole lot.
-
Rev 3060
-
You can upgrade to Rev 3061, though it shouldn’t matter. I’ve updated the init’s as well.
-
It made no difference. It PXE boots and after displaying the FOG banner with the Image Download task information it scrolls up real quick leaving the blinking cursor.
-
Can you recreate the task as a debug task?
-
Thanks for your time Tom.
I sent it as a Debug Download. At the prompt I typed fog to start the task. It displays the banner and afetr hitting Enter I go back to the blinking cursor.
I’ve tried to run the scripts manually and it all starts when it runs fog.checkin
-
if you can get back to the command prompt, type
[code]ifconfig[/code]Does the network you need show up? What if you type
[code]ifconfig -a[/code]What’s in the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[code]cat /etc/network/interfaces[/code] -
It has no ip address, although the eth0 interface is there.
The content of /etc/network/interfaces shows
[CODE]iface lo inet loopback[/CODE]
I tried to set the IP manually, with no luck.
-
what do you get if you run:
[code]/etc/init.d/S40network[/code]
??
Are there errors reported?
-
[CODE]Starting network …
ifup: duplicate interface "lo[/CODE]But no ip received from DHCP
PS: This computer could image earlier this morning, before updating to 3060.
