Hello Sebastian, Hello Tom

First of all, I would like to salute your work which is very helpful for us on a regional scale (Hauts-de-France, France).
The development of FogProject systems is unquestionably irreproachable and indispensable for large structures such as ours.

Have you thought about switching to a business model geared towards professionals, like WAPT?
We would be delighted to collaborate with you in this context, and this would allow you to recruit developers in a paid way.

Best regards.

I have just migrated a Fog from one server to another and I noticed 2 small problems on this page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG#Arranging_Images

The following command generates 2 messages :

root@fogserver:~# mv /images/dev/* /images
mv: Cannot move '/images/dev/dev' to '/images/dev': The folder is not empty.
mv: Cannot move '/images/dev/postdownloadscripts' to '/images/postdownloadscripts': The folder is not empty.

I don’t think it’s serious, is it?

But this one is more annoying:

root@fogserver:~# chown -R fog:root /images
chown: incorrect user: " fog:root ".

The fog user does not exist, it is fogproject. So I replaced by this command:

chown -R fogproject:root /images

Thanks for this amazing project !

@Sebastian-Roth you put me on the track!

The bios was configured in legacy bios first, I switched to uefi first and it works!

Thank you!

I have made good progress on the translation of FOG into French.

There was a lot of work. Currently, I’m trying to translate directly in PoEdit but is there a solution to see my work in FOG, knowing that I installed FOG (dev-branch) on a VM…

Thanks !

PS : I should be able to push my file this week…

@wayne-workman The Google translation of technical project is just awful. Deepl gives much better results.

Besides, I hardly ever use Google and even less Google Chrome

I’m waiting for Tom’s answer

@matthieu-jacquart

Je suis aussi preneur de documentation par rapport à cela et notamment sysprep.

Autre solution, cloner le poste sorti du domaine et l’intégrer à posteriori.

@Sebastian-Roth you put me on the track!

@george1421 said in Which USB 3.0 ethernet adapter?:

@bristow-0 OK I can say I’ve never heard of an “LDLC Aurore” computer before. It must be a local French brand. If you want to pxe boot then you will need to get a usb network adapter that LDLC computer’s support.

This is Clevo. The good thing is that they provide PCs without OS.

Now for a uefi computer making the computer boot iPXE from the flash usb drive is pretty easy. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way Understand that “trick” only works for uefi based computers. BIOS computer’s can’t boot using this method.

Cool, thanks a lot !!

@sebastian-roth Thank you, I understood correctly.

I don’t use this type of setup: PXE and then hard disk in the BIOS. PXE does not start by default.

@george1421 said in Which USB 3.0 ethernet adapter?:

@bristow-0 The issue/trick is to get a usb network adapter that is supported by your laptop/tablets firmware. The uefi firmware is very much like a small linux operating system in that it has a limited set of drivers built in to support pxe booting. So the firmware needs to know about the network adapter. You can’t just use any generic network adapter to pxe boot. In this case you will only need the usb 3 ethernet adapter when you image the computer. Once the target computer has the windows OS on it then it can use wifi.

Thanks. OS will be Gnu/Linux

What model computers are we talking about.

This one : https://www.ldlc-pro.com/fiche/PB00424400.html
and they are based on clevo models : https://www.pcw.fr/93-15-6-pouces

As an alternate If you ignore pxe booting on the target computer, but instead usb boot into iPXE then you can use any generic USB to ethernet adapter supported by iPXE. So for this idea you will need a usb ethernet adapter supported by both iPXE and FOS Linux as well as a usb flash drive with iPXE loaded on it. You will boot iPXE from the flash drive, it will see the generic ethernet adapter and jump into the fog iPXE menu.

Ok, but I don’t understand what iPXE is, is it a Linux system? How do you install it on the USB key? I must have missed a step

Thanks for your reply !

Most laptops come without an RJ45 port. But we need a PXE compatible ethernet port to deploy our images.

Do you know a compatible adapter?

LDLC (a French shop) refers us to this Microsoft model, but 50€ is too much for schools…

Do you have any cheaper references that would be recognized at boot time (our laptops are without OS).

Thanks

@sebastian-roth said in Grub rescue after deploy task:

Please change the boot order to let this machine boot from disk directly to see if that works.

This machine is already booting on the disk, or I didn’t understand how FOG works and if I need to change something else?

Is this setting correct, I don’t understand what it does?

Thanks

Hello,

I have prepared an Ubuntu Mate image with 3 partitions

• /efi 100 Mb
• /
• swap

Everything went well and I captured my image with this setting:

Now I deployed to test on another workstation, and every time it starts, I get a grub rescue error:

error no such partition
grub rescue>

Is this a problem with my host settings?

Thanks for your help!

@julio said in démarrer une machine via le réseau:

@george1421 désolé george pour le dérangement, j’ai trouvé le problème à ma solution tout seul ne prend pas en compte mes messages et mes images stp. merci bien

C’est bien aussi de donner la solution au problème. Cela peut servir à d’autres personnes. Merci.
