I was wondering if there was a way to display where an image is being pulled from while it is being downloaded. I think it would be handy to know where the image is coming from in case you have many fog servers/Storage nodes at a single site like we do. Maybe the information could be displayed on one of these two screens?

@Wayne-Workman In my test envirement I am running the RC versions on Ubuntu 16.x. When I setup the new servers they will all be fresh installs as well.

White listing the Fog server and Storage Nodes fixed the problem. Everything is installing correctly now. Thank you so much!!!

The only thing I am noticing now is that the time stamps on my Replicator Logs are incorrect. Is that an easy fix?

Thanks,

@Tom-Elliott said in Want to skip "Booting... (Press Escape to access the menu)":

mysql -u root
drop database fog;
exit
exit

All fixed, Thanks so much!

The issue has been fixed. Our content filter was blocking it. idk how but it was only on that one server. go figure. lol

@george1421 Thank you very much! I was able to modify the script to fit our setup. Everything is working smoothly now.

Thanks again!

@sebastian-roth Thank you and @george1421 for your assistance it this matter. It worked great!

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

@george1421 Yes, all my computers are using the fog client, the issue is we are not allowed to set PXE as the first boot option, has to be the hard drive, so it negates the feature. I was just thinking instead of giving our Interns/temp help access to fog and starting inventory tasks from the web gui it would just be faster to PXE boot a computer and select “run inventory”.

@george1421 If I have a host that is not registered in fog and I choose to run the Full Inventory task from the PXE menu, can’t we do something similar to that with hosts that are already registered? I do remember back in the Fog .32 days it was possible.

Thanks for all your assistance!

@george1421 after adding your changes to the config now it is showing the hostname and mac but saying no task found. So would the next step be adding a command to create and start the inventory task?

@george1421 adding the space after the boot|| has gotten me farther now.

Now it is displaying Attempting to check in …Failed
Invalid MAC Address! (in line for )

@george1421 If I delete the “&mac=00:00:00:00:00:01” part I get the following output

@george1421 Okay, I did that and it just takes me to the fog web gui and has me log into the home screen.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with Fog 1.5.9

@george1421 Okay, i deleted out the new line from loglevel=4 so its one string but am still seeing the output above. How do I call the URL your asking for?

@george1421 here is what it shows

@george1421 I tried the task you listed, when I run it, it says

“Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://pxe.org/2d16208e))”
