IPXE issues - work around
-
Confirmed the bad RAM issue with a bootcd (Memtest86+).
On the FTP issue, I uploaded two images while I was on 1.0.1. Upon changing to 1.1.0, I just checked and I CAN’T!!! .
When I try I get the: “Can’t mount NFS volume!” When trying to upload.I regularly use Filezilla to connect to the FOG server to transfer files. I normally connect to it via SFTP. After upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 I can connect using SFTP, but NOT via FTP. vsftp is version 2.3.5.
What files do I have to check?

Ok I just double checked everything. I just noticed that on FOG 1.x.x under “Storage Management” you now have the “Management username” and “Management Password” over there. I noticed that upon FOG 1.1.0 install, it changed that information (fog and a really long password), I changed it to the user/password that I have always used with FOG, restarted the server. And now everything is OK with image uploading.
I also ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to update all the software in my installation. Apparently all those steps did the trick.
However, I still can’t update any kernels thru the FOG web interface. It downloads the kernel but stops at “[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]Download Completed! Moving [COLOR=#000000]file to TFTP server…” [/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT]

Try checking: FOG Configuration (? icon) -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Settings -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD.

Still can’t update the kernels thru the FOG interface.
I think I have a permissions issue in one or more folders.
I try to image a new computer (upload) and it starts imaging, everything ok until it finishes which shows:
- FOGFTP: Failed to rename file. Remote Path: /images/temp**** , Local Path: /images/dev/fb8c******, Error: ftp_rename(): Rename failed.

Sorry for so much trouble!
I [SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]went in and ran: [/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]sudo passwd fog (reset fog user password)[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]then [/COLOR][/SIZE]
[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]chown -R fog:root /var/www/fog/service/ipxe[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3]chown -R fog:root /images[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Consolas][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]then on FOG interface: [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Consolas]Storage Management -> [FONT=Ubuntu]Management Username / Password to fog / (**fog user password - same as used on passwd line above)[/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Ubuntu]FOG - Configuration ->Settings -> [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD. (same as user/pass as Storage Management )[/FONT][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]FINALLY SOLVED! [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]I think my problems were that I had another user for logging to FOG web interface, and that user was also the one in the Storage [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]and TFTP settings (not the fog user). [/FONT]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]Previously on 0.32b I had it that way and worked OK. After updating to FOG 1.1.0 I started having trouble with either uploading, [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][FONT=Tahoma]kernel update, etc. [/FONT]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 29539, member: 7271”]From the image you provided, the init.xz file you have is corrupted, can you try manually downloading the init.xz again on your fog server:
[code]cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
rm init.xz init_32.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init_32.xz[/code][/quote]This just worked for me - I was getting loops after it started loading ipxe.init until I replaced the versions I had (in 1.2.0) with these. Thank goodness!!! Now I’m anxious to really give this a workout!

Whoops - spoke to soon - it worked once!
I tried to deploy the antivirus quarantine to test things and it went back to looping. Will I ever see the Fog menu again???
Terry
EDIT - removed the antivirus task and the menu booted. I’ll try some debug tasks next.
EDIT 2 - the moment I remove a task, it loads the menu. Until then, it just keeps looping. Tried with download debug and debug tasks.

Hi,
I have tries this solution but don’t works. The error is “[B]Could not start download: operation not supported[/B]”
I have tested it under different hardwares (optiplex 755, HP 8300) and the result is the same.I have installed FOG r2407 in a physical server and the dhcp server is not in the FOG server, and we use dnsmasq.

Are all of these in UEFI mode by any chance?
Also, no necro.

No. No EUFI.

Solved!! The problem was dnsmasq setup. See [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE’]here[/URL] for more information

Hello,
I’m new to the list but a user ferving FOG.
I can not change the configuration of the keyboard in QWERTY.
I changed in the “General Settings” -> KEYMAP_FOG = en without success.
I checked the language available: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_Image_Key_Map[/url]
I get good at the launch of bzimage:
bzImage32 kernel root = / dev / ram0 rw = 127000 ramdisk_size ip = dhcp dns = 192.168.1.3 web keymap = fr 192.168.1.3 /
fog / consoleblank loglevel = 4 = 0 mode = manreg
This has no effect, I’m interested in a solution.
Thank you for your response.

Hi dl550,
I can’t see how this is related to the other posts in the thread!? To be honest I don’t really understand what you are asking for! Probably a good idea to open up a complete new post and describe what exactly goes wrong. Are you trying to have french keyboard layout?
