I’m getting the error in the attached picture while capturing:

However, it doesn’t seem to have any negative impact on the capture process.

@Sebastian-Roth Yep! That fixed it!

Thank you.

Thank you Sebastian. I’ll check it when I get to work and let you know.

This was my original post, last year:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11914/hosts-mac-address-missing-from-inventory-report

The problem is still there. I don’t get the MAC addresses.

Oh yes, I forgot about it. You recommended it to me the last time too. This time I’m going to save it on my deployment server desktop, to have it there for debugging.

I remembered something about FOGMulticastManager. Here is were I red about it.
Thanks again.

I’ll be back with feedback after my next deploy.

I’m back with the same problem. I use FOG 1.5.4.
I create the multicast task, all computers are ready but the multicast doesn’t start.
Could be the multicast manager service?
I am going to check its status on the next deploy and see.
For now, the fix was, as last time, a reinstall of FOG.
I had to cancel the multicast task, reinstall FOG, recreate the task, restart the computers and it worked.
I’ll be back with more data after the next deployment (probably Wednesday ).

@Quazz Sure, I understand. Thanks for the solution. I replaced the kernel and it works perfectly.

This issue is still there in 1.5.4. It isn’t a real problem as much as it is an annoyance.

Not solved in 1.5.4. Problem is still there.

Never mind. It was an OS issue. Solved.

I downloaded 1.5.4 to do an upgrade. Previous version: 1.5.2. It hangs as mentioned in the subject. OS is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Glad to be of help.

I mean this:

I exported the list from here:

The CVS file is missing the MAC addresses. The PDF file has them, but not in a very usable form:

The MAC addresses are missing from the CSV file format report but they are present in the PDF format.

Problem solved. Looks like the libcurl error caused this also. I did a fresh install and modified the reference to libcurl3 before starting the install and all went well.

I found info on how to solve the libcurl issue here on the forum but now, almost near the end, It stops with another error:

Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.

Setting up storage…OK
Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 169: Error:: syntax error in expression (error token is “:”)
…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 271: let: octet4+=: syntax error: operand expected (error token is “+=”)
Failed!

Is there a way to set up DHCP reservations when using the FOG default DHCP server? I need to give each computer a known IP address for some scripts I plan on running on each computer after deployment.

Thanks.

I’m back with some more info.
It looks like the problem was that udp-sender wasn’t started by the multicast manager service. If I restart the service, the udp-sender starts. I reboot the workstations and this time it starts deploying.

@tom-elliott
Thank you for your reply. I thought about this too but I’m a bit uncomfortable with modifying the FOG code. Plus, it would break if I upgrade.
I got another idea yesterday, after writing this post. I was thinking about a script, that would run from cron, about every 10 minutes. It would check if udp-sender is running. If it isn’t, it would just exit. If it is, it would start monitoring the process and, when it finishes, it would launch my custom code.
This would work if udp-sender runs only during multicast. I suppose this is the case. I don’t see any reason for it to run otherwise.
How does this sound?
