I am trying to register 1 client, an old HP
PXE TFTP open timeout
It’s not finding the pxe boot file.
A few years ago I think I fixed this with
sudo start tftpd-hpa
But tftpd-hpa is already running.
Server 2012 R2 already has DHCP scope options:
066 = fogserver
067 = undionly.kpxe
So what’s the problem?
Thanks so much Tom. It works again. And I will not tick that option again.
Can I suggest the following text in addition to that you have by that tick box:
Warning - if you tick this box, this user will not be able to log into this FOG Management Console in the future.
And could I have a definitive answer on if it is necessary with 33b to modify the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to my fogserver ip address? (as it was necessary with 32)
That’s correct. I selected that option believing that it gave me an extra option on the PXE registration page.
You need to put a better explanation of what it is on the initial user creation page.
I really did not know if I should tick it or not.
What do I do now to get access again. This is the one and only user I have called fog.
Have put # in front of bind-address and saved.
then
sudo start mysql
running
Tried login - not work.
As I said it is easy to see that my correct password is being accepted because I do not get “invalid login”
By the way, is it best to stop mysql first before doing changes and then start?
how do I comment the bind-address
Why would it work for 10 minutes and then not? The same yesterday.
10.0.1.40 is the fogserver
10.0.1.39 is my work station
Clearing the cache did not help. Using firefox on fogserver did not work either.

I urgently need help now. It’s happened again. I cannot log in to the fog management console.
It worked 10 minutes ago until I closed and opened firefox. The fogserver also went into screensave mode when it has to be unlocked. So I unlocked it.
If I try to log into the fog management console with fog and wrong password, then I see “invalid login”.
If I use the correct password then there is no “invalid” message, which means the password has been accepted, but the next main fog home page never appears. It just stays at the login.
I’m desperate now. I really need to get this working. I’ve spent hours re-installing everything.
Yesterday I was logged in as Root when I did the installation and file mods.
Today I have remained a normal user and installed fog with sudo.
I have been using version 32 for a number of years on an old HP PC.
I installed 33b yesterday on a new HP Elite 8300 with 8 GB RAM.
Is it still necessary to change the bind-address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
I changed this to my fog server address.
I tried to update the database schema but could not until I had put in the mysql password with:
sudo gedit /var/www/fog/commons/config.php
Then database schema updating worked.
Then logged successfully into [url]http://10.0.1.40/fog/management[/url]
Then named a Linux image.
Server 2012 R2 already had DHCP scope options:
066 = fogserver
067 = undionly.kpxe
Then tried to register one old HP client (which I know had been registered before on the old FOG server)
Client obtained IP address and then waited for Tftp - timed out.
I had seen this years before on the old system, so I typed:
sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa
Client still timed out.
I restarted the DHCP on the win server and rebooted the fogserver.
Then the real problems began: I got error messages from Nautilus and I could no longer log in on the fog management page, either on the fogserver or my PC. I could see that my password was accepted, but the next page was never opened. It just stayed at the login page.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So now today I have reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04.4 and FOG 33b
Do I still need to change the bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf ?
Yesterday when I did this, new copies of my.cnf were created: my.cnf~ and my.cnf~~.
Is this normal?
I’m really worried that the same thing is going to happen today again.
Thanks Tom, but I’ve already started as root.
I have the same issue today under 12.04.4 LTS :
[U]sudo –c ‘echo “greeter-show-manual-login=true” >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf’[/U]
I get a “Permission denied” error…
Then I discovered on the internet:
[U]sudo sh –c ‘echo “greeter-show-manual-login=true” >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf’[/U]
This worked. No idea why. How would the sh help?
Now for my real question: Do I HAVE TO install FOG whilst logged in as ROOT??
Can’t I just stay logged in as a normal user and type:
sudo .[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Courier New]/installfog.sh[/FONT][/COLOR]
Grateful for an answer today if someone is on line and can be bothered. I want to go forward with the install.

A UPS costing around $200 to $300 would do the trick. The battery will last around 5-6 years. Then you just buy a new battery.
cheers
Thanks Tom for the quick, full and clear response. Now I can start the install immediately.
By the way did you see my message to you suggesting the use of a UPS?
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/latest-fog-0-33b.6476/page-66[/url]
Having read through all the 2014 comments under “Latest FOG 0.33b”
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/latest-fog-0-33b.6476/page-66[/url]
it appears that 0.33b is reasonably functional as of revision 1400.
So I would like to use it for a deployment of 40 Win 8.1 machines.
I have found the following download link which I hope is correct:
[url]http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/HEAD/tarball?path=/trunk[/url]
When unzipped this gives me a folder “Freeghost-code-1398-trunk” which contains 8 folders and 3 files.
Here are the dumb questions:
Is this the “source code” or is this the “binaries” produced when the source code has been compiled?
Do I need to compile this or do I just double click installfog.sh under BIN, as superuser?
If I only need to run installfog.sh, where should I place all these folders before running installfog.sh?
Do I then delete these folders afterwards or do they become an integral part of the installation?
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24088, member: 7271”]r1304 and 1305 released.
Both are just more hooking elements. Part of the frequent releases is due to the weather in my area. I don’t want to lose my work while in the middle of changes. Hopefully you all understand.
Are you using a UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply)? Sorry if I’m telling you something you already know. That will keep your system running in a blackout/brownout for 20-30 minutes, giving you time to complete a task and then safely powerdown.
I always have my most important 3 or 4 PCs protected at all times. Another thing - good spike protection in the fuse box is a good move. Then you’re covered for most weather conditions, except the lightning bolt hitting the powerlines in front of your house. Sorry again if you already know this. Thanks for all your work.[/quote]
