How to add new image into Advanced menu (like in fog_0.32)

[Tom Elliott]

If you can upgrade to trunk what you are asking is already implemented into the quick image option. You select quick image, sign in with a GUI user and password, and it will present a list of all the images on the server. You can select any of those images and it will perform a download task using the selected image.

Hi Tom, Unfortunatel there is a lot of problems with SVN installation so I need temporary solution then I will work on it further.

I’ll check what Sebastian said, I was actually quiet close to it
to do it

Thank guys

As Tom said I tried to install SVN version and unfortunately it stops while installing php …
Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Debian
Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: 192.168.2.4
DHCP router Address: 192.168.2.1
DHCP DNS Address:
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0
Image Storage Location:
MySQL Connection Type: MYSQLI_ASYNC
Donate: 0

     DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
     current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

     On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
         next-server

     On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
         option 066 & 067

               Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.2.4)
               Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

Are you sure you wish to continue (Y/N) Y

@Sebastian-Roth
Now I’m getting: Kernel -panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
Any suggestion ?

Still nothing, what can cause this problem ? Any ideas ?

I’m on git version 5475 if you want to try a (from what I’ve seen) stable trunk release.

If you’re using svn:

Navigate to the svn directory you set up earlier

svn up -r 4408

Then just install as usual.

Svn and git versioning are different, hence the different number here.

@Quazz
Not using it, just downloaded and tried to install but I’ve met a lot of problems,. Currently upgrading dist to 14.04

Maybe try uninstalling php5-common first: apt-get purge php5-common && apt-get update && apt-get install php5

[Robx64]

Thanx guys, I just upgraded to 14.04, installed svn and finally I got working FOG 5475
Now I have to install it again on production server

[Sebastian Roth]

Good to hear! I’ll mark this solved. Better you start a new thread if you run into other issues.

[Robx64]

Finally i managed to install this cra…ntastic FOG version
Everything works so far, list of images is created but … there is a but, how can I turn off this stupid login page when i chose quick imaging ?
I don’t want it/don’t need it

[Tom Elliott]

@Robx64 First update to the latest then you will need to edit the quick image menu item from the GUI.

This is the original information

login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

Make it read as:

params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

@Tom-Elliott
Version I just installed is:
FOG Configuration
FOG Version Information
Version: 5475

You are not running the most current version of FOG!
You are currently running version: 5475

Latest stable version is 1.2.0

Latest git version is 5539

[Tom Elliott]

@Robx64 You need to update.

cd /root/svn/trunk/
svn up
cd bin
./installfog.sh -y

Of course the cd change to the location you downloaded.

I have old version of FOG installed and in there I have one link to an .ISO file directly. It is actually DELL diagnostic file, but boots fine in ISO. Now in this new version of FOG 1.2.0 I have no glue where to store my .ISO file and what file I need to modify and how, to make my .ISO file appears in the default(!) menu options to boot like before.
Could you just simple help, I am quite new.
Is there anything to do with “BootMenu.class.php”. How?

[george1421]

I created a post a few days ago about booting a MDT iso image via the ipxe boot menu. This may help you on your quest as long as you are using a svn trunk. The only thing I think I would change from this post is to move the place I stored the iso image out of the fog directory directly. In the instructions I said to place the files in /var/www/html/fog/iso , moving forward I would put them in /var/www/html/iso This location is still addressable by apache but won’t collide with anything in the fog distro.
