Bugs in FOG 0.33
-
Issues I’m aware of:
[LIST]
[]“Single Partition” (NTFS Resizable) needs love - most uploads work, some deploys do not
[]Multi Partition works - please tell if im wrong
[]FOG Configuration (previosuly known as ‘Other Information’) pages do not exist - they have not been created
[]Various “save” operations in Group Management and other areas do not save

[/quote]Yes for all of them, on a side note I Imported my host list from my Production Fog machine 0.32 and that worked fine.
I was however unable to do a Full Inventory report error below, this is a highly regarded feature by my team as we use it to track assets
[CODE]Unable to load system configuration information.[/CODE]keep up the good work, thanks

My results are the same as falkos. I assume the reports section will get addressed after the key features, but just in case, I’ll go ahead and report that none of them work for me. Also, I haven’t tried playing with snapins or printer management yet. Let us know what to test with each update.

I installed latest trunk and am able to upload my images with no issues. When I attempt to download my images the computer gets to the blue screen with progress bar for an instant and then instead of starting to download the image the computer just reboots. My .32 fog box works fine. Is this an issue you have seen?

Are using the “single partition” image option?

Blackout:
What needs to be tested at this point? Anything you need checked in the latest build?
Thanks again for all the hard work. FOG has really come a long way.

I will access the sub-menu “PXE Boot Menu” or “FOG Settings” on top of page returns that message.
“FOG DEBUG: FOGPageManager: Class: FOGConfigurationPage, Method: settings, Error: Method not found in class, defaulting to index()”

Chuck and Jian have been hard at work fixing the NTFS Resize issues for me.
The latest init.gz can be found in SVN or here: [url]http://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeghost/trunk/packages/tftp/fog/images/[/url]

Please report any errors, screenshots are very helpful, etc

Last time I spoke with the devs it seems we’re still having an issue with non-sysprep images that are resizeable. If people are interested in providing more testing and feedback, here is a list of scenarios to test (taken from Blackout’s todo list):
[LIST]
[]Windows XP - NTFS, Multi
[]Windows 7 x86 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types
[]Windows 7 x64 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types
[]Windows 8 x86 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types
[]Windows 8 x64 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types
[]Windows Vista x86 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types (not critical)
[]Windows Vista x64 - One & Two partition layout - with & without sysprep - NTFS & Multi types (not critical)
[]Multicast

[*]The bug reported by Astrouga could be solved adding error_reporting(0); to the script /var/www/fog/services/Post_Stage2.php, because the main script on the rootfs of the bootable linux waits for a “##” symbol, and it gets “unable to move /Images/dev/macaddress to /images/imagename FTP Host: (server IpAddress here), Error: ftp_rename(): RNFR command failed.##” instead, due to an error on the first ftp_rename() function. This worked for me and should be fixed on next revision.

I’ve seen mention that the database is different in 0.33, and there is no possibility of returning to 0.32 after upgrading. My question is: are 0.32 images compatible after upgrading to 0.33? It was also suggested to install 0.33 in a VM, but is that still relevant?
I’m thinking that grabbing from SVN and running the install will be all the configuration I’ll need… is that correct?
Thanks!

The database is different and there is no easy way of reverting back to 0.32 ( you might be able to do it manually, but I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone). The images are compatible as we are still using Partimage to collect and deploy images. Running FOG 0.33 in a VM is just a suggestion; 0.33 is still n beta and not really ready for production use (you can use it in production, but again I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone), so the idea is that people wanting to help with bug testing or get a feel for what’s coming will pull down 0.33 and test it in an isolated environment.

are you still looking for testers?

Always looking for more testers

Cool count me in. I just setup a xenserver environment so i can do testing all sorts of things outside of my vmware environment. I have a question while i’m downloading the latest tarball why do we need to test non-sysprep images?
-
just to double check, when I set up my FOG 0.33 test vm, all I need to do is Import the Host Inventory cvs from my FOG 0.32 box? Following the format provided from the Web Interface cvs ‘Import example’ sheet?

Dealman, non-sysprep’d images have worked in the past, and there are plenty of people that for whatever reason choose not to sysprep, so we want to insure that functionality still exists. We’ve already encountered some issues while testing non-sysprep’d images, but more tests with detailed step by step documentation can help us track down the bug a lot faster.
Falko, give it a try. I haven’t tested that functionality myself, and I haven’t heard of anyone else testing it, and I know the database schema changed with 0.33, so go ahead and try.

Hey guys. I’m running 0.32, not 0.33 but I wanted to share some insight to help the Windows 8 support for 0.33.
I set up a virtual machine running Windows 8 Enterprise with a single partition and uploaded it to FOG. I ran the fogprep exe which I had to modify because it does not support Windows 8 (I just commented where you check to make sure the machine is running Windows 7 because the registry keys being modified are exactly the same in Windows
and I ran sysprep with my unattended xml answer file. When I tried to download the image to another machine, I received an error at boot saying “Booting… Missing Operating System”. I dug into the fog source code with my boss and discovered that the issue is that there is a method that checks the os version and applies one of several mbr files that you have. Because Windows 8 is not supported and I selected Windows 7 as the host os on the fog web interface, it wrote the wrong mbr to the machine. After we copied the correct mbr from the Windows 8 master image and wrote it to the machine, it booted correctly. There still is a problem, however. The hard drive was not resized properly to the size of the new machine it was being imaged to. The new machine is showing only ~40GB which was the size of the actual fog image. Also, I the fog client is not working properly. It is not renaming the machine or joining it to the domain. -
We don’t sysprep for the pure fact that we don’t trust our users to make it through the first boot process. . it’s much easier to make an image for a certain model, setup everything just the way we want it and let FOG/Active Directory do everything Post-first boot.
