Hi.
I am trying to find out how FOG can be offered to customers as part of a commercial product.
I understand that the GPLv3 gives anyone the opportunity to sell open
sourced sw under this licence, but I’m a little confused about the terms of ‘Disclose Source’.
Let’s assume that my company has a commercial application and it doesn’t use FOG source code at all. We simply want to offer a FOG as a service (part of the product) to deploy Windows images and automatically install our commercial program.
So, FOG will not be a part of commercial application, but rather a part of a product. GPLv3 says that the source code must be made available when the software is distributed, but does it really apply to the scenario I have presented?
Is there anyone who could shed some light on my case?
Thank you
Andrew

Hi,
It seems like I have found a bug with Deploy - No Snapins for Group.
When I use No Snapnis Deploy for single Host all is good.
When I use No Snapins Deploy for Group, snapins are executed( I can see them on the task list).

Exactly, I just want to avoid the mess between users and their images/snapis/etc.
This is not repair shop deployment type.

We have only single subnet.
As Im not bale to restrict access to specific hosts nor to images/snapins, I wanted to create Jenkins server for each team.

@george1421
OK that was clear to me. Just wanted to see if FOG can benefit somehow through this tough work with my tablet

@george1421
Thanks for your support here. Yes we can close it.
Im just curious, what about refind in 32 and 64 bit ? Will this be supported in the next FOG release out of the box?

@george1421
Actually it is not WIN10 but WIN 8.1 ( my mistake in the topic)
It’s 32bit version.

@george1421
Inari 10 2GB

Is it possible to run multiple FOG servers within one network?
There is one DHCP server, so FOG servers would use dnsmasq.
I saw there is a UUID filtering through dhcp-boot parameter in ltsp.conf, could this be used or we have some other option( if any)?
The use case is simple, there are multiple teams with different machines, but connected to one network.

@george1421
Well this is really strange, ipxe thinks this is 64 bit architecture

@george1421
Thank you so much.
Looks like we got it.
When I set bzImage32 for the host kernel and init_32.xz and when I created a task to capture the disk, PartClone has been loaded and it’s taking the image right now.
What is still strange, there is no more any FOG menu list loaded from the PXE, but I can live with manual host registration.
Next step is to test deploy function.

@george1421
So here is the story:

1. There must be something wrong with this php code as I got
   
   So, I just changed original

'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind.efi',

to

'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_ia32.efi',

and got this

I found scanfor option in refind.conf and disabled it.
After that I can boot to Windows from the FOG menu- “Boot from hard disk”!

So there is some progress.
But
when I choose Quick registration on white background FOG menu, there is another B&W menu displayed.

I must use up/down arrows to select something from the menu, however this is blind selection as current row is not highlighted.

When I enter Registration(down arrow x2)

and that second FOG menu without highlighted row is loaded immediately(loop).

When I enter Run Memtest(down arrow x1)

And the system is rebooted.

Why do I have 2 menus?

@george1421
Thx. In the meantime I replaced original refind.efi with refind_ia32.efi but it did not help.
There is different error, but I can provide details on Monday the earliest.

HI
Would this be enough to take refind_ia32.efi from rEFind binary package from http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html
and copy to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
and replace refind.efi
?

@george1421
Thx

I actually described this specific case in this post
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12373/tablet-with-windows-10-and-usb-lan-smc-7500-adapter/7
This is the post with 4 screen shots.

@george1421
Well, this is fully autonomous system, so it must boot through the pxe all the time.
Regarding EFI-32:
1 system is not booting from hardrive
2 fog is not loading when selected from the menu (e.g. host registration)

@george1421
OK. Now, old BIOS machines boot to FOG properly.

@george1421
yes it is 2.76

@george1421
Thx for this finding.
What is strange to me is my old BIOS behavior. I did not change BIOS exit mode - I have GRUB_FIRST_HDD here but I got this error on my old BIOS machines

What should I do in dnsmasq config to setup just this tablet, and remove BIOS machines temporarily?

@george1421
Editing /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf was my only change.
