SOLVED

I was on 18.04 and ran “sudo do-release-upgrade -d”, It finished, I rebooted and was able to access the FOG web interface and deploy an image. I am running the latest stable version: 1.5.8

UPDATE: I had some issues when I upgraded to 20.04 on a different FOG box. It has been resolved.

Thanks

@Sebastian-Roth

Not sure if this has been resolved or if this helps -

I’ve created a Win 10 UEFI VM using the 2004 ISO. VMware Workstation 15 Pro 15.5.6 build-16341506. All the settings were default except I went up tp 8GB of RAM. I installed it, ran all the updates, activated it while waiting for updates, rebooted twice then captured the image with FOG dev-branch version: 1.5.9-RC2.11 running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

It deployed fine to a similar VM.

@Sebastian-Roth

Yes.

I just want to add real quick, the DC 7800’s can boot to the menu with any kernel and without and kernel parameters. They fail when deploying.

@will said in M.2 not recognised during deploying stage:

But when put these 2 modules together

What do you mean by put them together? Like in onboard RAID?

Is it possible like with NVMe drives, the M.2s are initializing at different times during the boot process and the drives switch places? Like changes from say /dev/nvme0n1 to /dev/nvme1n1?

@Sebastian-Roth

Hell yeah dude, that cleared it right up.

@Sebastian-Roth

So yes, this is a perfect solution since Primary host disk can now be set by size. I have one image for the OS disk, and one for the “D” drive. I just switch the Primary Host disk setting depending on which image I want to capture or deploy.

I tried the latest dev branch 1.5.9.85 and the same problem occurredfog_error_1.5.9.85.log .

Run the install with the -X switch. I ran into this the other night.

@sebastian-roth

Okay. I will try it later. I was going to post this under Bug Reports initially but I wasn’t sure if something was up with my Ubuntu install. This is the first time I installed Desktop Ubuntu. I am a wicked newb and could not figure out how to properly make the EFI\ESP partition to EFI boot Ubuntu with the server install.

@sebastian-roth said in Dev branch 1.5.9.79 Installing package: php-gettext.............................Failed! has to use -X switch to get it to work.:

@Tom-Elliott Do you know if php-gettext is in use anymore? Don’t really think it is because:

• It’s only part of the Ubuntu/Debian/Mint packages variable but not for other distros.
• Ubuntu 20.04 does not install it anyway:

 * Skipping package: php-gettext...............................(Does not exist)

So I’d think we better remove it from the [packages list]

Thanks

Could I have edited config.sh in a text editor, removed php-gettext or edited to read php-php-gettext on the packages= line, saved it and re-run the setup without errors? I should just try it and see but not able to ATM.

I had to reinstall Ubuntu fresh and along with it FOG. The install wouldn’t complete. It seems to fail finding php-gettext. I installed that package manually without any errors and\set the locales.

php-php-gettext is already the newest version (1.0.12-4).

I ran the FOG installer again but ran into the same error.

UPDATE: After searching this forum, (IKR?), someone else ran into a similar problem and there is a workaround.

@george1421 said in dnsmasq won't start automatically. [SOLVED]:

@fog_newb Well there are really two commands you need to use.

1. Enable the service to start every reboot systemctl enable dnsmasq
2. To start the service now systemctl start dnsmasq

These are two distinct actions and one doesn’t depend on the other.

@george1421

Thanks. I have used both of those commands before trying to get it to autostart on boot. I haven’t used them since running sudo systemctl enable dnsmasq , which was the one that got dnsmasq starting on boot for me. Perhaps since I used those commands prior it is all good?

I went through my bash history and saw I almost used sudo systemctl enable dnsmasq I had the syntax messed up though. I used sudo systemctl dnsmasq enable

I am really starting to like Linux. I digress, I am mostly a casual so I doubt I will ever have it on my daily driver but I am thinking about trying it on a laptop. I don’t know though, sometimes, I just like to point and click.

@george1421

Hello,

Nice! that worked. I’d swear I had tried that before as I was scouring different dnsmasq guides most of the night trying to get it started automatically.

Thanks again.

That thing it did after running the command, I never saw that come up last night.

Ooops I got the formatting wrong. Here is a text output.
