@tom-elliott Thanks very much!! That fixed it!

I found the path to the password to that user from another post I’ll copy here in case someone else runs into this problem.

Find the database information in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php - with FOG 1.5.9 the database user is called fogmaster instead of root that was used in earlier versions.

I’m having trouble running the database maintenance scripts.

First off we have no open slots for new tasks, shown below.

So I tried to run the database maintenance scripts on the WIKI and get this error.

Guest OS is Ubuntu 16.04
Fog version is 1.5.9.58

Any help is appreciated!

@george1421 I’ve tried this update from a computer across a VPN, and I’ve also tried it directly from Firefox on the Ubuntu machine that fog runs on and still get the same result.

As for getting a specific error, I don’t get any error. It says “Transfer Succeeded” in green and below that “Your new FOG Kernel has been installed!”

I’m trying to update the kernels on my fog server and the GUI says they are successful but on the Fog Configuration > Home > Kernel Versions screen the versions installed still show 4.19.143.

I would like to get to 5.6.18 as the current kernels does not work with our latest computers purchased.

Fog Server Version: 1.5.9.49 (Newly Upgraded from 1.5.6)
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Newly Upgraded from 14.04 LTS)

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help!

@Tom-Elliott Tom, do you have any directions on starting this utility?

Thanks!

I found it.

The setting was called “QUICKREG PENDING MAC FILTER”

I took the USB NIC MAC out of there and everything worked again.

I forgot to include my version of fog.

1.5.6.3

Surface Laptop - Gen1
Microsoft Surface USB NIC

This is the 2nd surface laptop that I’ve tried to image. The first was quite a while ago. Seems like I remember reading somewhere (and completing) about globally disabling the MAC of a USB NIC to make imaging other laptops easier.

The image went perfect on the first laptop, but now when I try to start imaging these I get this “No viable MACs found”.

I know I could probably just buy another adapter but don’t want to have to waste money for nothing.

I’ve tried deleting the old host entry but the “No viable MACs found” error persists.

I’ve tried looking through the fog web to find the spot where, I think, I put in the MAC to disable but can’t find it anywhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That works, thanks!
