@george1421 said in no such device or address - server gui:

ell that’s going to be a problem if the fog server doesn’t have a DNS forwarder running. What is the dns server (IP address)

primary dns server is my router 192.168.1.1
but i do have dnsmasq running on my fog server which is running fine to my knowledge 192.168.1.109
i use a router running ddwrt with the internal dnsmasq disabled as i compiled and run dnsmasq 2.76 on the fog server.

@Tom-Elliott @george1421

Server:		127.0.0.1
Address:	127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find soulslay: NXDOMAIN

@Tom-Elliott how would I be able to track down and diagnose if that is in fact the issue?

@george1421 Perhaps?, i just know this didnt start happening until i upgraded to rc29 and then all of a sudden all in the red. yet i can restart and do all the other normal task. I think its a bug in the server or client module.

Server

• FOG Version: rc-29
• OS: ubuntu 16.04.1

Client

• Service Version: 11.6
• OS: windows,ubuntu,mint

Description

in the fog server gui under host the indicator that is normally green turns red stating “no such device or address” any time i reset the fog server. however when i restart client machines in the boot up to fog screen it says the client is registered. if i send a command to reboot the windows machines will reboot yet the server gui under host state’s. see screen shot.

The fog server doe not give me an option in the gui to reset encryption any linux based host only windows based.

Server

• FOG Version: rc-29
• OS: ubuntu 16.04.1

Client

• Service Version: 11.6
• OS: ubuntu/mint

Description

I am experiencing some authentication issue with the fog service on my linux machines.

@x23piracy

1. Download gpt-fdisk (gdisk) for Windows.
2. Copy the binary to a known location.
3. Boot into Windows Recovery Environment.

• If you don’t have one, download Windows10ISO from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/softw…
• Create a bootable USB by following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gQu… or by burning the ISO to a DVD.

4. Shutdown Windows and boot using this media (Legacy or UEFI Mode).
5. Get to the command prompt. Either by pressing Shift+F10 or by navigating to it.
6. Go to diskpart and find out the disk identifier for your Windows installation.
   diskpart
   list disk
   sel disk X
   list par
7. Navigate to the location where gdisk binary is kept and type:
   gdisk -l X: (Replace X with the disk number)
   This will list out the partitions available in the disk. Make sure this is the one your want to convert.
8. Now, convert the partition table from MBR to GPT.
   gdisk X:
   Type w to write changes. Press Y whenever prompted.
9. Type the following commands:
   diskpart
   sel disk X (Replace X with the disk number)
   list par

Now we make some space for our EFI partition

Note the partition number of the partition which you want to shrink

sel par X (Replace X with the partition number)

You may delete the System Reserved partition and replace it with the EFI partition. To do that, type:

sel par X (Replace X with the System Reserved Partition)

del par override

The shrink command is not required if you do the above two commands.

I’ll just go ahead and shrink. 500MB extra doesn’t matter to me

shrink desired = 200 minimum = 200

The following commands are common:

create par efi
format fs = fat32 quick # Format this with fat32 file system
assign letter = Z:
exit

@x23piracy said in How to get Virtualbox booting over PXE while EFI is enabled?:

I co

PLEASE LOOK AT HERE

@x23piracy would you be patient enough to wait until tomorrow and i can have a full video done that will show you how to fully convert and image to uefi from bios boot and the network boot via virtual box.

@x23piracy perhpas i shall do a tutorial to help you understand what i’m trying to convey to you. I understand what you are trying to do and i’m trying to tell you I’ve already done it and its possible but it appears i am confusing you.

@x23piracy ah yess. i have a bit of a better strait forward guide if youd like it?

@x23piracy Yes, and that is the way you network boot uefi in virtual box as it does not natively uefi net boot. once you insert the usb or cd to boot from the option to network boot will appear.

@Sebastian-Roth it is possible to boot uefi in virtual box but you must use the usb or cd here to boot into the uefi net boot and then install your os. your os will then boot uefi once successfully installed. I do it all the time in virtual box.

@Tom-Elliott awk wont install. Not available.

@Tom-Elliott Cool. I shall install soon.
