I am currently able to boot Ubuntu 11.10 Live CD by following these steps from [URL=‘http://www.howtogeek.com/61263/how-to-network-boot-pxe-the-ubuntu-livecd/’]How to geek article[/URL]
Here is my configuration from my default file located at [B]/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default[/B].

[CODE]KERNEL fog/Ubuntu11_10/casper/vmlinuz
APPEND boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=x.x.x.x:/tftpboot/fog/Ubuntu11_10 initrd=fog/Ubuntu11_10/casper/initrd.lz
MENU LABEL Ubuntu 11.10[/CODE]

x.x.x.x=the ip address of your NFS server which happens to be my FOG server

This will try to mount an NFS share and look for the [B]initramfs[/B] file. The article explains how to install the NFS server and create an NFS share where all of the files for the Ubuntu Live CD will be created.

I have also been able to boot Clonezilla, Trinity Rescue CD, and BitDefender Rescue Live CD via this method.

We have been able to use the NTFS Single Resizeable with our Dell computers by reinstalling Windows 7 scratch, delete all of the existing partitions, and let the Windows installer create all of the partitions including the 100MB partition. We were not able to use the NTFS Resizeable with the Pre-loaded OS that Dell installs on the new computers. I am not sure if that helps or not.

I had this issue as well when I was testing on how to deploy snap-ins to my windows 7 machines at work. I was able to work around this by disabling the [B]“Interactive Services Detection”[/B] under the [B]Services section[/B] in [B]Computer Management[/B] in Windows 7 on the client computers. I am not sure what this affects but I have not noticed any issues since this was disabled.

[B]This is an issue with deploying the images and NOT uploading the images[/B]. I was not sure how to change the Title of the Post so I am add this to the top of the post.

I am currently running FOG 0.32 on Ubuntu 11.04 with a RAID 1 on 2 1TB hard drives.

I have been having an issue recently with at least two of my images that I have created. The first one was having an issue where it would get to 50% and stop. Then FOG would proceed to tell me that the imaging was finished. It was a Windows 7 image resizeable. I tried changing the permissions to 777 and change the owner to fog but it would always fail at 50%. In the end I deleted the image and remade. Everything was working fine until I started use another image that was failing at 32%. This image was a Windows XP single partition resizeable.

I have tried looking for logs or any kind of error message but as far as FOG and partimage is concerned the job completed successfully. I do not mind recreating the image if I need to but I would like to know if my images are corrupted and how they are becoming corrupted.

I also used the trouble shooting steps here [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_an_image_push_to_a_client[/url] but the image still stops at the same place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and let me know if you need more information.

That’s funny that you made the fog user into a moblie and I can’t log in with any mobile user that I create.
fog is keep going back to login screen when I use the mobile user to login with.
may I ask which version of FOG are you using and if you ever experienced the issue that I have with mobile users?

Thanks[/quote]
I am using the latest version Fog 0.32. I know you will not be able to login to the main management site with a mobile user. You should be able to use either a regular user or mobile user on the mobile site.

Which page are you trying to login to with the mobile user?

Let me first start off by saying that I love using FOG for imaging the computers at my work. It has saved us a great deal of time and I have been able to stream line our imaging process with the use of adding the computers to AD, as well as adding printers. I was exploring all of the other features when I decided to look into the mobile set so our techs could image computers on the fly.

So I decided to add a new user called ‘mobile’ but I had to walk away to take care of another issue with a user and when I came back the FOG server had automatically logged me out of the site. I logged back in and without even thinking, I clicked on our main user account instead of making a new user. I then clicked mobile access only and save.

I didn’t realize what I had done till my coworker said that he could not get back into the main site. I thought it was something he was doing because I was still logged in at the time so I logged out. When I tried to login it gave me no indication that anything was wrong because it just returned me to the login page. I rebooted but that did not fix it. I thought maybe MySQL was down, checked the service and it was running. Checked the username and password in the config.php files and they were all correct. At this point I was thinking WTF is going on?!?!?!?!?!

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks when I realized that I could still access the mobile site. I also realized that we did not have any other accounts that had admin rights. S!$T!!! Since I was not able to login to the fog website I couldn’t create an account either to change that setting.

At this point, I was freaking out because I didn’t want to have to rebuild the entire fog server because I was still able image computers and access the PXE menu with the computers. So to save you the trouble if you ever run across this situation as I did, here are the steps I did to resolve this issue.

[LIST=1]
[]Logged into the FOG server via SSH using the putty program
[]Installed phpmyadmin via apt-get, the command is [B]sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin[/B]
[]Logged into phpmyadmin at [B][url]http://fogserverip/phpmyadmin[/url][/B]
[]Clicked on the [B]“FOG”[/B] database on the left hand side to access the rows in the database
[]Clicked on the [B]“users”[/B] section on the left hand side which should open all of the users that were created with FOG
[]Clicked on the [B]“Edit”[/B] button which looks like a pencil for the user that needs to have mobile access only removed
[]I then went to the field called “uType” which was set to [B]“2”[/B]. I then changed that to [B]“0” [/B]and clicked on the button at the bottom of the page called [B]“GO”[/B]
[]Went back to web interface and I was able to log back as usual.
[/LIST]
**Note that you the user that you log in with on phpmyadmin is a MySQL user and needs to have rights to the FOG database, otherwise it will not show up in phpmyadmin.

I have now created another admin account so I do not run into this same situation again but I hope this helps somebody out because I know how frustrating these sort of problems can be.
