aah ok I see, this makes sense.
this is exactly what I needed!

So in Line 381 to 384 of fog.upload you define the imgtype as mps, which then gets executed on line 227?
and following the code until on line 287 gets executed as partclone.imager -c -s $part -O /tmp/pigz1 -N -f for each partition?
When I look at a already created raw image, it’s only one file.
Is the Image creation on different partitions, which in the end get combined into one?

Thank you very much for that quick answer

I have a few questions about the Process of creating a Raw Image.

I’ve been looking through the fog.scripts and noticed that you first compress the Image and then partclone.ntfs it?
Also i’ve been searching the part that does the RAW Image. I would like to be able to manually invoke a raw image, which would then be copied onto a Harddrive.
I took a look at a raw image created by fog, which is only one file compressed with gzip.
Could someone maybe explain the image creation process? (just the basics, i’m no linux noob ;))
dd the drive and pigz it?

How did you edit the Fog.download file? I can’t seem to find the same file on my system.
I have a fog.download file, but it is way different and does not contain the setting you describe.[SIZE=2] Can you please offer some [/SIZE]guidance[SIZE=2]?[/SIZE]
Admittedly, I am a linux noob so forgive me if this is obvious to others.[/quote]

you would need to unpack the init.xz in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/, do the changes and then repack it.
But I wouldn’t recommend doing that if your not familiar with linux…

I have a Problem with several different Computers, mainly Laptops, which have a Windows Error after being successfully loaded. I have an 0x000025 on Windows 7 and 0xc0000225 on Windows 8. It’s quick fix, using the installation CD, but it’s very annoying.
I’m not sure where the problem is, but my guess is, that it seems to be having problems with GPT Partitions and the BCD.
Is anyone else having Problems in that Direction.

EDIT
Propably the wrong Section, this Thread blongs to Windows Problems. Please Move.

[quote=“jrockrus, post: 31684, member: 24839”]Hi,

I am trying to recompile the FogService Hostname Chnager in Fog 1.1.2. I followed the steps found here
[SIZE=3][B][HTML]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Active_Directory_Integration[/HTML][/B][/SIZE]

but I am not successful doing so. I am able to recompile the [FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]HostnameChange.dll[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#000000] but towards the end it states[/COLOR][/FONT]

The folder is empty and instead recompiles the FOGService.exe to \FOG Service\src\OutputDirectory. This file size is smaller than the original FOGService,exe found in /var/www/html/fog/client with the zipped file.

Please let me know what I can do.

Thanks in advance[/quote]

I just successfully compiled my Fog Service. I had trouble when still on 0.32 using newer Versions of Visual Studio, including 2010 and 2013, try to find a Visual Studio 2008 to compile it.

aaah this makes sense… Great thanks!
altough a mention somewhere in the release notes or something would’ve been helpful;)

Hi there,

I just upgraded to Fog 1.1.2 and noticed that a change in the Active Directory Settings.
I used to be able to input the OU in which the Computers got transferred to.
Now there is a Dropdown list which has no content, leaving it blank is probably just going to throw them into the default folder.
Is there a way to populate this List or manually input the OU?

Also I have read around the Forums that the FOGService got updated, does that mean I have to change the build-in Password again? It was quite awful to do so and I would hate to do it again.

we have other systems that have a functioning ipxe environement. I’ll try to image the systems seperatly.

will report back

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30129, member: 7271”]Capone requires one registered host to upload the initial image. This is really the only way you can do it, easily. Otherwise you could try to do this manually if you really can’t “spend the time” to register the host, though I’m not going to build a walk through on exactly what you would need to do.[/quote]

I was able to register the Hosts, using an USB menu but not upload an Image at any stage.
Since I can’t use the iPXE for the reasons explained above several times, I have to use an usb key.
When I try to upload an Image it says that the request Type is Null, even when I start an upload Task using the Web UI and then start to manually invoke the upload.

[quote=“RipAU, post: 30119, member: 24459”]I found that fog boots fine from USB using syslinux. I guess the problems that will come up is how dynamic fog is now with iPXE generating the upload and download via kernel arguments in iPXE.
Having kernel support for the USB-Ethernet adapter might be a problem as well.

As was mentioned earlier capone plugin might work.

I used syslinux 4.02 to create the bootable USB key and in the syslinux.cfg have:
[CODE]default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 100

[/CODE]

I don’t know how practical this will be though.[/quote]

I managed to build a usb file which starts capone in download mode and this is exactly what I meant!
Neither do I have to use PXE nor iPXE and it works using the usb to ethernet adapter…
I’m trying to figure out how to set capone into upload mode though. I looked into the init.xz -> capone script and tried to change the type from down to up. But this results in an error message, saying that the Request Type is Null. The Parameters are given to the fog script itself which then in turn sets the respective fog.upload or fog.download in motion.
It seems as it doesn’t even get that far.

Any hints?
