@jameto333 I have a little experience in installing similar programs with snapins and am familiar with Sketchup Pro. May I ask which file format you have the installer (exe or MSI)? Also, may I ask which type of licensing you have?

@george1421 I can get a screenshot to you on Monday, but I believe this is just simply an ordering issue on the Web UI in 1.5.5. I went to update the kernel, got the same message, and realized I installed 4.3, which was at the top of the list of available kernels. A lot of users including myself are used to it being ordered by newest to oldest. I had to go down near the bottom of the page to find 4.19.1.

@BrentC , I just did the same thing. The kernels are now out of order in 1.5.5 on the kernel update page. Just find the highest number near the bottom. I think it is 4.19.1 or something. For some reason, they aren’t in any order I could figure out.

@onenerdyguy that sounds like quite a presentation! We would probably just stick to FOG and showing how we use it at our district. There are different methods (Golden image vs. model specific/sysprep or not, etc). Our goal would be to give them the foundation of it all and refer them to resources such as these wonderful forums and certain wiki pages to give them the tools to make informed decisions on what is best for their environment.

When I went to Brainstorm Ohio last year, it was abandoned on the final afternoon, so I get that completely. Luckily last year the only thing after lunch was a few round table discussions. Hopefully if this happens, we at least get the morning slot of the final day.

@Wayne-Workman Yep, I was thinking of providing the script for the most ease. All you need to do is change the IP of the server and run the script right? This is the one I know of: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts/tree/master/updateIP

As for recording it, I love that idea! Just know this is far off and currently theoretical. I probably posted this way too early. If we do get a slot I don’t see a problem in recording it.

Hi All,
My boss and I have been mulling around an idea to put on a presentation on FOG at a conference in Ohio called Brainstorm k20 next year.

I think it would be beneficial especially for the k12 conference goers. Us k12 folks are always short on the budget and we look for products that just work. I believe FOG fits both categories since it is open-source, free, has great support on the forums, and you don’t need a degree in Microsoft Deployment or SCCM to use it.
We are thinking of going over the basics and offering a VM Template to the audience for them to spin up a VM and provide instructions on how to change the IP/set up the DHCP options/configure their networks for FOG.

I wanted to run it by you guys to see if you have any tips or things you think I should go over? This is still in the very early stages of planning as it will take place possibly in May of 2020.

If anyone has input, I’d greatly appreciate it. I want to spread the good word of FOG to my cohorts but also do it right!

Thanks!

@Wayne-Workman said in New FOG Testing dashboard. Feedback?:

I’ve shut down the old tests, and switched the new tests to use fogtesting.theworkmans.us

Well done man! I’m going to miss the successful patch streaks just because that was fun to look at. I understand why its gone though. I am probably due for an update to 1.5.5 from 1.5.4 and this is a great resource.

I wanted to stop by and say that I can concur that I was able to image the 2018 newest x1 carbon using the Lenovo Dock as well. I did not try any other means as we purchased the docks with the carbons and that seemed to be the logical choice. I apologize to @AsGF2MX for not saying this earlier to save you some hassle. Just didn’t click in my head that I recently imaged these with this method. Best of luck in your future Fogging.

@george1421 If you can locate the thread that Tom gave these instructions and/or a wiki article on how to do it, I am more than willing to try. I appreciate your time on this.

@george1421 I did indeed reboot and didn’t see any difference. On a gut feeling, I doubled the checkin time from 180s to 360s and that has marginally helped the CPU usage. I am just puzzled why this wasn’t an issue at the end of the last school year? Our number of clients has not changed and I have been on 1.5.4 for a while now. Here is the graph of my current CPU Usage on that VM. You can see where it was at, when I made the setting change in www.conf, changing the checkin time, etc:

I did notice I still had many php-fpm processes, but overall utilization seems to be down:

EDIT: I did forget to mention I have this running on 2vcpus and 8GB of Memory. Do I not have it specced high enough?

Hi George,
Most of these settings were set properly. Below are the ones I set:

pm.max_children = 35
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M

A reboot after that still yields 100% usage and way too many php-fpm processes.
I have about 1300 devices using the FOG client. I realize this is a lot, so I did set the checkin time to 180s. Do you think increasing that more would help?

Thanks!
