SOLVED
I was on 18.04 and ran “sudo do-release-upgrade -d”, It finished, I rebooted and was able to access the FOG web interface and deploy an image. I am running the latest stable version: 1.5.8
UPDATE: I had some issues when I upgraded to 20.04 on a different FOG box. It has been resolved.
Thanks
@sebastian-roth The error during the FOG install on 21.10 is related to installing php 8.0 mysql
If I try to manually install php8.0-mysql it appears to be installed already
The GUI works fine and capturing an image goes smoothly until the end where the database needs to be updated
Wow, so I ran the FOG installer again, this time there wasn’t an error when it came to the mysql install.
Going to try capturing an image now.
Hmm. It still fails to update the database.
Yes.
I just want to add real quick, the DC 7800’s can boot to the menu with any kernel and without and kernel parameters. They fail when deploying.
I installed the leaked dev version 21996/21996.1 on bare metal and in a VM. Secure Boot didn’t have to be enabled . UEFI and TPM (which requires CSM to be disabled) had to be. Secure Boot - the option only had to be present.
After more testing. I found I could install it in a VM as Legacy. I guess MS laxed on the VM requirements?
I also found on metal, I could disable TPM and enable CSM which should make secure boot completely unavailable. Then I deploy a sysprep-ed Win 11OOBE UEFI image on it without any problems.
I will try pure legacy on metal next…
This was with that leaked dev build so who knows if it was modified or what not and how close it is to the actual dev build release or the final release.
3.13 that comes on the latest dev-branch as of today has issues with APFS on my laptop.
3.20 x64 does not
Hell yeah dude, that cleared it right up.
Not sure if this has been resolved or if this helps -
I’ve created a Win 10 UEFI VM using the 2004 ISO. VMware
Workstation 15 Pro 15.5.6 build-16341506. All the settings were default except I went up tp 8GB of RAM. I installed it, ran all the updates, activated it while waiting for updates, rebooted twice then captured the image with FOG dev-branch version: 1.5.9-RC2.11 running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
It deployed fine to a similar VM.
@sebastian-roth Thanks. I just updated to the latest. So far it is capturing an APFS drive on a hackintosh no problem.
So yes, this is a perfect solution since Primary host disk can now be set by size. I have one image for the OS disk, and one for the “D” drive. I just switch the Primary Host disk setting depending on which image I want to capture or deploy.
@george1421 I boot from a FOS usb stick that pxe boots to the FOG server. So I am thinking put the T2 Kernel on the server and specify that kernel under the “host kernel” setting for the macs, then on the the FOS stick put the t2 kernel as well?
Some additional info. I believe I was able to successfully capture an image of this PC right after updating to 1.5.10.1688. on Aug 26th. I am restoring a back up FOG from that time to a new VM to see.
UPDATE: So I restored the FOG server back up from a couple of days ago to a new VM and yes, I was able to back up the PC once after updating to 1688.
I updated to 1.5.10.1688 and attempted to capture an image. Win 10 resizable whole disk. It captured the main partition then failed at some point. I couldn’t see the error on the screen. The drive is now too borked to boot into Windows. So I tried to deploy an image I took before the update to the PC but was unable to check in
An idea on how to fix?
@Tom-Elliott Fog now tells me the latest dev version and the one I have is 1.5.10.1671
Was 1.5.10.1771 all a bad dream or were we both mistakenly calling 1.5.10.1671 1.5.10.1771?
@Tom-Elliott Thanks. I grabbed a full fresh release but haven’t had a chance to reinstall 1.5.10.1771 over itself to confirm the included inits work. But if they are the same inits you posted earlier… it definitely should
@Tom-Elliott Awesome sounds good. Another one can be marked as Solved
@Tom-Elliott No, but I just did now and it is working! Thank you. So for now, whenever I update FOG, I should copy over that init until it is worked into the dev or release version?
@Tom-Elliott Thanks.
I grabbed the new init.xz and copied it to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ and I was still able to capture the an image from the PC with FOG 1.5.10.1667. I updated FOG to the latest 1.5.10.1771 and tried to capture from the PC again and it failed with same error.
Yes, I will test these as soon as they are available and have access to the PC, around 2pm EST. Just to confirm, the steps to test would be - update to 1.5.10.1771, then drop the everything into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ and try to capture again?
Thanks
