FOG, the dev-branch has been working fine on 21.04

The other day I updated FOG to 1.5.9.114 on 21.04. Everything was fine .Then just for the heck of it tried updating Ubuntu to 21.10. FOG did not work so I tried installing 1.5.9.114 again.

During the install everything was fine as far as PHP but there was an error updating MYSQL and it was unable to back up the previous FOG install.

@sebastian-roth Awesome. I can’t wait!

@sebastian-roth

21.10 doesn’t work with the latest dev-branch either. I ran the upgrade to 21.10 as soon as it came out and couldn’t access the web interface 503 error. So I tied reinstalling FOG - Something something PHP. When the latest dev branch of FOG came out (1.5.9.113) I tried the same thing. I didn’t grab any logs (I was being lazy) I just restored the snapshot I took right before I did the upgrade.

I used the latest inits and I was able to capture the mac OS drive. I forgot about needing the debug option to get the partclone log.

I didn’t know the dev inits were using the disk size option. I try to keep up on that by going here.

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

I backed up my hackintosh no problem on the 28th, just 3 days ago and was using whichever the latest dev branch was and the NVMe inits found here. https://fogproject.org/inits/init-disk-size.xz

There are 2 NVMe drives each with their own OS and EFI.

It captures the Win 10 drive sda and all the partitions no problem.

When it starts to capture the mac OS drive I get a bitmap error and am told to check var/logs/partclone.log but it is not there.

Ubuntu 21.04 Desktop

I can’t seem to find the FOG error logs that show anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@sebastian-roth

Are the new version going to have inits that use the device size? I am still copying over those custom ones after every update.

I installed the leaked dev version 21996/21996.1 on bare metal and in a VM. Secure Boot didn’t have to be enabled . UEFI and TPM (which requires CSM to be disabled) had to be. Secure Boot - the option only had to be present.

After more testing. I found I could install it in a VM as Legacy. I guess MS laxed on the VM requirements?

I also found on metal, I could disable TPM and enable CSM which should make secure boot completely unavailable. Then I deploy a sysprep-ed Win 11OOBE UEFI image on it without any problems.

I will try pure legacy on metal next…

This was with that leaked dev build so who knows if it was modified or what not and how close it is to the actual dev build release or the final release.

Thank you

It would be cool if when viewing your images in the Web UI it displayed the amount of space it took up on the server.

Thank you

@tom-elliott

Are there any plans to make a windows/mac/linux app that would allow FOG images to be mounted and read allowing the user to copy files from an image?

Thanks

@tom-elliott

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.
