How to add live cd iso to Fog 1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04
-
@Wayne-Workman Thanks, I’ll take a look at that.
-
I noticed an additional detail: When I open a web browser to view my.fog.i.p/fog/service/ipxe/arch I can see all my files from the server but not from the computer I’m using as a client. Does anyone know what would cause that?
Edit: never mind, that was an unrelated bug with the client.

@Trixsta101 Here is my working Clonezilla setup.
:CLONEZILLA kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/vmlinuz initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/initrd.img imgargs vmlinuz boot=live username=user fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE boot || echo failed to boot prompt goto MENU``` -
@jbonilla Just in-case anyone else is trying to get this working, I had to add “union=overlay” after the “filesystem.squashfs” portion to get it working on my server.
:CLONEZILLA
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live username=user fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs union=overlay locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE
boot || echo failed to boot
prompt
goto MENU``` -

FOG version : 1.4.4
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2 X64
I want to run a ubuntu 16.04 live iso using pxe on my client. I have read all the guides in this topic.
I only managed to make the Hiren boot to work(only the mini windows works and not the linux enviroment). I have followed instruction from Biet Jeremie to fill in the advanced setting box for Ubuntu iso file. When I choose Ubuntu from the advance menu it loads the Ubuntu menu and when I choose:
“try ubuntu without installation” it says it can not find the medium congaing the live file system.
I have two problem:- I don’t know if the instruction provided has changed from the date this was discussed?
- I’m not sure if I just need to copy the iso file from Ubuntu or I need to extract it in some folder?
Has anyone got this to work?

@amir3161 Usually it’s better to open a new post as your question (Ubuntu 16.04, FOG 1.4.4) does not match the topic. Describe what you did, post your ipxe config and post a picture of the error.
One would think that if 14.04 worked as ISO 16.04 would also do. But maybe there is a difference. Read through this (talks about extracting the ISO because it does not boot otherwise) and open a new topic in case you still can’t make it work.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sebastian. You are right! I was not sure if I should post here or create a new topic. I felt bad just to create another post while this was related to the same (kindda) issue.
I have followed the instructions in the link but still have problems. I will create a new topic and post dubug info there

Failing to get DLCboot ISO to boot through this method.
I have tried with the iso in 2 locations: /ISO/DLCD/DLC.iso and /var/www/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso
I keep getting similar errors. First I tried with your paramaters
:DLCD
initrd http://$192.168.25.66/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENUAnd I got this error:
Then I tried with
:DLCD
initrd http://$192.168.25.66/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso
boot || echo failed to boot
prompt
goto MENU```and got this error
Any help or suggestions on why this is timing out or what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Tearing my hair out with this one.
Thanks

@dylz Usually it’s best to open a new thread instead of reviving such an old one that most probably is kind of a different situation - see FOG 1.2.0 is very old and we don’t even support that anymore.
Not to your issue. See there is a
$sign in front of the IP address.http://$192...., remove that and you might see it working. -
@sebastian-roth Thanks I’ll open a new thread. I tried removing the $ sign but it just takes me back to the menu.
