I ran the tcpdump on my fog server and waited while my laptop was PXE booting but got no results.
root@fog:/# tcpdump -w output.pcap port 67 or port 68 or port 69 or port 4011
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
^C5 packets captured
5 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
Looks like the fog server didn’t receive anything. Any thoughts ?
In the meantime as Tom suggested I will upgrade one more time to RC36
I’ve just upgraded my Fog server via the Git trunk to 1.3.0RC35 which is the latest and confirmed it is upgraded.
I then replaced in the “Boot File” box in my Juniper ex330 dhcp server the value of undionly.kpxe
Also upgraded the Fog client to the latest one in my lenovo laptop, still on the booting off the network, but
I still get the TFTP timeout and Exiting Intel Boot error messages.
In the laptop I tried :
tftp –i x.x.x.x get pxelinux.0
“Connect request failed”
tftpd service in the fog server is running.
I see there is now /opt/fog/log but no logs there.
I noticed there were no Fog service running . Should they be running all the time ?
Anyway I tried to start a few for e.g.
./FOGMulticastManager
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘FOGCore’ not found in /opt/fog/service/lib/service_lib.php:25
Stack trace:
#0 /opt/fog/service/FOGMulticastManager/FOGMulticastManager(25): require()
#1 {main}
thrown in /opt/fog/service/lib/service_lib.php on line 25
What does that mean ?
Interestingly when I was browsing for logs on the fog page I noticed my laptop with the correct MAC address in the Reports management under host listing and Inventory. I did a search in host management and found it. There’s a statement saying “Pending Registration created by FOG_CLIENT”. For “Host Bios Exit Type”, I selected SANBOOT and “Host EFI Exit Type” I chose “Refind_EFI” . Are these correct ?
Once it was on the host list I decided to try anyway to Capture and Force task to start. And immediately I see the Fog message on my laptop asking for restart which is good, so restarted, but now its on perpetual reboot because the tftp failed and exit on intel boot errors and it keeps trying again. Please help .
Awesome thanks Tom. It worked 
Hi, Sorry, this should have been easy but I’m having a lot of trouble looking for the latest 1.3.0RC45 or even the earlier ones. Once I click download on the front on the fog page - it downloads the 1.2.0 which I don’t want. Its the same thing with the direct link and mirrors. I look around to search for the release candidates and all I see are announcements and news about them, no download links anywhere. Could someone please help point me the right direction ?
Many thanks for the suggestions george1421 and Wayne, I’ll upgrade to the newer Fog1.3.0RC . Didn’t realise Fog1.2.0 was that old, that probably explains why it doesn’t work with my new lenovo laptop with win10.
Hi george1421,
My dhcp server is a Juniper ex3300 and under the Boot options, there is the Boot Server , I entered my fog server ip there.
there is the boot file which I entered “/bzImage”. There’s no next server option anywhere I could see.
I also checked and tftp service is running…
root 8074 0.0 0.0 15128 944 ? Ss 18:30 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address [::]:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot
Also the firewall is also disabled.
but when I tried tftp –i x.x.x.x get pxelinux.0 in the laptop it failed “Connect request failed”
i found the config file # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME=“tftp”
TFTP_DIRECTORY=“/var/lib/tftpboot”
TFTP_ADDRESS=“[::]:69”
TFTP_OPTIONS=“–secure”
I also did a chmod 777 in that /var/lib/tftpboot
I restarted the tftp service in the fog server, but same problem. I’m wondering what I’m missing ?
@Tom-Elliott Thanks for the reply Tom. My laptop was set to boot with Both UEFI and Legacy and the choice was “Legacy First” . Anyway I reconfigured to “legacy only” and I still get the same result - TFTP timeout and Exiting Intel Boot agent. I checked and have none of those services running on my Fog server.
I installed Fog on Linux and use an external DHCP server. I’m able to access the GUI page and see all the links on my browser and everything seems to work fine. Both the Fog server, dhcp server and the laptop are on the same network and the fog service can ping the laptop and vice versa, so there’s no dns or network issues. I’ve added firewall rules in the laptop and also installed the fog client service in the laptop. I’ve set my laptop to boot off the Network at first try. Also in the dhcp - its set to point to my fog server and load a bzImage from my fog server. tftpd service is running in my fog server. My intention is to do a first image of my windows laptop into fog with a fog registration when the laptop boots off the network
The DHCP part works and I get an IP. But it doesn’t show the “Fog Computer Cloning Solution”. I also got a TFTP Timeout error and also PXE:M0F Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
When I was troubleshooting I couldn’t find the logs ! There’s no /opt/fog folder . There’s also no log folder in /var/www/fog either. All I found was the /var/log/foginstall.log file.
The fog installation went without a hitch with the mysql install and…
Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Debian
Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: <server ip>
DHCP router Address:
DHCP DNS Address: <dhcp/pxe server>
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 1
Internationalization: 0
Could someone please advise if I’m missing something ? When I did ps aux I don’t see any fog or FOG service running, which is very strange.
