Hosts not imaging - HELP
-
@Junkhacker
I didn’t set up the machine-the previous admin did. -
well, it looks like the fog installer changed the password for the “fog” user (which it sometimes does, it’s not supposed to, but when doing an upgrade from 1.2.0 it can happen. maybe something about the change in formatting of the .fogsettings file.) so it looks like you’ve got 2 options. reset the fog user password or restore your backup and create a new user account to do administration from.
-
@Junkhacker reset the password from AD?
-
the fog linux user account.
-
@Junkhacker guess i’ll have to restore,can’t find the account in AD
-
@prestop if you want to reset the password, this should send you in the right direction http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
-
@prestop it’s not an AD account, it’s a linux user account.
-
@Junkhacker
Sorry know nothing about Linux. -
Where are the images stored? Are they on a seperate disk, of NFS? How many images?
You’re spending a lot of time trying to fix this, Sometimes it’s more effecient to start again. Would it not be easier to export the data, even if it’s unplugging the disks, then do a totally fresh build, and re import the images. I’ve done this several times, it’ really easy, and you can test the new fog servers before you risk you images. Just save your data.
Just a thought to get a speedy resolution. -
@prestop that’s ok. have you figured it out? it’s the local user account for the user “fog” on the linux system. it’s not all that different from a local user on a windows computer.
-
@Junkhacker
can only get in with guest session -don’t know how to find users. -
@prestop did you follow the link i sent about resetting the account in single user mode?
-
@Junkhacker Yes!!! Thank you.
But now at desktop not sure how to proceed. Should never have left (weeping) -
@Junkhacker Trunk has no items in its folder.
-
@prestop you’re logged back in? have you created a new user?
-
@Junkhacker YES.
Updated fog user and created new admin account.
Started FOG and updated…looks like a version 7 - new interface, etc. Hosts and images still there.
Trying now - bugs have appeared again -I think they sense my desperation. -
@prestop well, now that you’ve changed the fog user password, you’re going to have to change the stored password everywhere fog uses that user…
-
@Junkhacker
D’oh!
Please tell me where - config? TFTP? -
@prestop web interface, storage management, DefaultMember > Management Password
also, you’ll want to update the information in the hidden file /opt/fog/.fogsettings where it stores the password for fog upgrades
off the top of my head, i can’t remember where else it will be needed
technically, also FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD in fog settings. but that shouldn’t be important unless you change the IP of the server -
