@MaMu Hi, https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

@Dommason01 Hi, Have you try to deploy in debug mode ?

@sudburr Ubuntu is right for desktop, but for a server use a Debian headless

@Tim.Trageser Format and install a fresh Windows

I have to say, I don’t like the new design at all. It looks nice but the usability was, in my opinion, better in the old version.

If you still get all zeros, This is an FTP issue. FOG uses FTP to get the size.

@Polii123 said:

Well the size isn’t 0, there is nothing ^^ The Filed ist missing completly in the Web UI.

@Wayne-Workman said:

You have to turn on a check box somewhere in settings to get the field - firstly.

FOG_FTP_IMAGE_SIZE in General Settings

There is another topic for that problem : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5220/target-partition-size-is-smaller-than-source

@Tom-Elliott said:

This may sound crazy now, but does anybody remember that we zip the image files? This means that while a raw copy takes a lot longer, the actual size on disk is much smaller than the size of the image when on disk. This same principle is in affect for all imaging types. Free space compresses quite nicely. This means that your 250 gb disk may need this same size or larger disk to image onto, actual size on disk may be around 70 gb on server.

Hi,

Not sure about that, in my previous job I had all of laptops crypted with Truecrypt (whole disk), all dump with compression are simple DD… I was in 0.32.

Hi I forgot to end this thread.

We solve this problem by going full Legacy bios on all machines. restoring a singledisk multipartition works great (root partition resizing included)

Thanks everybody for this great project.

Hehe, Thank you for the update

I guess I sing too fast. It is not seeing any of the images in /images.

Any advice?

Hi,

You have not any image in web ui ???

This and location plugin should be fixed in 3721, thanks for reporting. List all was fixed, but I just fixed the Location plugin as well.

Hi Tom,

I’ve configure his SVN installation for proxy, after update SVN he can’t list host.

Apache error :

[Wed Jul 08 09:47:40.098835 2015] [:error] [pid 11831] [client 10.130.70.254:45386] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function __toString() on string in /var/www/fog/lib/pages/HostManagementPage.class.php on line 99, referer: http://10.130.70.3/fog/management/index.php?node=host

I’ve tried that in HostManagementPage.class.php :

'host_mac'	=> $Host->getMACAddress(), #->__toString(),

He can list all hosts now.

@Mario-Czarmetzko Tom is working to correct that bug.

@Jamie-Read SVN versions are very stable, lot of us use it
@cspence said:

Unfortunately, at this time, 1.2.0 uses a specific kernel. I talked to @Tom-Elliot about it and he said that 1.2.0 probably won’t work properly with a newer init.

Your option at this point is to try out the bleeding edge and see if the latest SVN version serves your needs for now.

@Polii123 said:

But how did they come into my config.class.php file?

Maybe a ghost lol

@Tom-Elliott said:

Whenever there is a blank page or internal server error there is typically an error thrown to the Apache error logs. Can you please check the logs and see what they say?

Same error here :

[Thu Jul 09 10:29:11 2015] [error] [client 192.168.101.252] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function __toString() on string in /var/www/fog/lib/pages/HostManagementPage.class.php on line 99

To bypass the error I have modified HosManagmentPage.class.php (I think it’s not the solution lol) :

'host_mac'	=> $Host->getMACAddress(), #->__toString(),

There is another topic about that error.

I’ve find a solution on this post :
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3695/using-custom-mbr-for-lenovo-clients

I will try immediately, but I’d like to find a solution to not have to physically intervene on the machine I want to upload.

Hi, it’s a manufacturer installation or you have install the OS from scratch ? (format/create partition)

@Tom-Elliott said:

Technically it is possible using the partclone-utils stuff, but you do have decompress the img file first.

With a script to uncompress/mount and a php folder browser

@DarkEnergy said:

I am not sure what you are asking. If you follow the conversation you will see that was an update.
That should answer what I think you are asking. If I had any images before. The obvious answer shall be"YES".

Ok,

It’s in the Web UI you don’t see any image or in /images ?

Problem solved with SVN 3732, Thx Tom for your time to fix it !!!

@mutant Not sure but I think that FOG only see the disk not the volume.
