You rock! that was it!

Thank You for all the help!

@Sebastian-Roth here is a screen shot of the error. it gives the station IP address then the DHCP Server IP address then the error

@jflippen This is what i have in my DHCP. yes i believe that is the doc i followed to set it up

Boot server host name is the IP address of my fog server

@george1421 I tried the NIC dongle no luck. It does pull an IP address This is what i get.

then it gives me an IP address. Then this

I’ve tried about every combination in BIOS
AHCI not Raid
Enable usb boot support
Enable External USB Support
Thunderbolt Checked
Enable Thunderbolt Boot Support
Enable Thunderbolt (and PCIe behind TBT) Pre-boot modules checked and unchecked
secure boot disabled
Secure Boot mode- tried both Deploy and Audit

FOG Server Info Ver. 1.5.5 Kernel 4.19.48

Other systems image just fine

@jflippen I’m ordering one and I will find out tomorrow when it comes in. Thanks for the tip

1: No it’s an existing install Ver 1.5.5
2: all other computers work fine
3: dhcp option 66 points to fog server 67 is undionly.kpxe
4: i’ve tried it with a USB-c dock DA300z as well as a k16A dock

I have a new Dell Latitude 7400 that does not have an internal NIC. I bought the DA300z puck that has the NIC in it. I’ve configured in the BIOS to boot to USB devices. It comes up with IPv4 as a choice. when selected it gets an IP from dhcp but then goes to press F1 to try reboot press F2 to reboot into setup, etc.
All my other devices boot and image fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

@tom-elliott YES!! thank you very much works great!

@george1421 this is mine none listed

@george1421 do you know the path to the .zip file once i get to the root of the repo i downloaded. I had deleted the download yesterday and re-downloaded and installed again yesterday with the same results.

If i manually register the client Yes it will image but i still get the:

jq: error (at <stdin>:0): Cannot index string with string “logicalname”
jq: error (at <stdin>:0): Cannot index string with string “serial”

Thanks for the help and sorry to hijack this thread

Im also getting this error. I have installed twice after deleting the .fogsettings file. Running on Ubuntu 16.04 on VMware.

Surprisingly I am able to choose image device from the fog menu and it works for an existing device, but quick or full registration gives me the jq error and no viable mac to use.

I’m so close to getting this working The only issue now is that i get now is a “no viable macs to issue” I re-ran the installer 15 min ago and that did not help per this thread https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12006/fog-perform-full-host-registration-no-viable-mac-to-use/5
I renamed the .fogsettings file and re-ran the install still getting No Viable Macs to issue

So close yet so far

@wayne-workman I think space looks good Not very good at Linux but learning

And there are a ton of these errors in the apache log0_1527899149860_apacheerr.txt

@wayne-workman I did turn off the old and updated the DHCP settings to point to the new IP address of the new server. They all seem to stop at init.xz… ok

@tom-elliott I get through the PXE Boot and to the fog registration screen as soon as i click on quick or the full registration i get either a flashing cursor on a Dell Latitude 7480 or this screen on a Dell 7050 desktop it stops here

The funny thing is after the brand new install registration was working but after moving the DB and images over it stopped working

@tom-elliott I just downloaded this afternoon. using git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git

Just installed a new Fogserver registering hosts was working and i followed this article to move over my database and images. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG now it will not register anymore. I re-ran the installer i had for the clean install but that did not work.
Is this the right place: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG

Running on Ubuntu 16.04
Been down for a couple days and need to get back up running.

Thanks

@george1421 I am not running dnsmasq I’ve commented out the dnsmasq in Network Manager. I do not have option 60 on the DHCP server either.

Here is the pcap of the dhcp process.

The error i get:

The Fogserver IP is 89.0.192.40
