@Wayne-Workman I tried updating, but it keeps erroring out on the php5-mcrypt.

Installing package: php5-mcrypt…Failed!

I am running Ubuntu 13.10. I tried installing it manually via apt-get, but that failed too.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@Wayne-Workman
Thanks for the info. I can try that next time. I used gedit and searched for “console.”

Since this didn’t work, I guess I’ll give it a try to update to the dev version. I’ll let you know how I end up.

Thanks again!

@Tom-Elliott

The only place I see the word Console is this…

$this->kernel = “kernel $bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=$ramsize ip=dhcp dns=$dns keymap=$keymap web=${webserver}${webroot} consoleblank=0”;

I commented this out and it didnt fix anything.

I guess I didnt realize “initialising devices” is before the menu part. To be clear, when I use the normal undionly.kpxe it gets to the menu and does go anywhere. When I use the undionly.kkpxe it gets only to the initialising devices.

Do you suggest I upgrade, or is there some other stuff I can still try?

Thanks!

I tried it and it just hangs on Initializing devices… It went past that Menu part quickly, but just hangs after.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Gotcha… wasn’t thinking I will try that… just using 2012 win DC’s

How do I tell it to do that? Do I just replace it like I did the other one and the laptop will pick it up, or do I have to change something on the server to force it to use that?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have new Lenovo 11e’s that wont go any further than where it says “Menu” on the iPXE boot. I did some research and tried manipulating my switches with STP portfast and I plugged into the same switch that my server is located to eliminate any other networking issues.

This is on my ports in the switch…
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

I tried updating my undionly.kpxe file, but that didnt work.

All my other laptops (lenovo, dell,) are working fine and never have been an issue. Legacy is enable and I disable UEFI.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

** I am running FOG 1.2.0 and the latest kernel

this was my problem… circled back whenever I tried the downgrade…

FYI here is my solution…

Found my problem… loaded up my original 14.04 ubuntu… and found that some of my tables in the fog database were corrupt. I ran the repair on them and that fixed it

mysql -u root -p fog
mysql> REPAIR TABLE userTracking; -----> this is an example of ONE table messed up… there were others

I just ran into the same issue… did you happen to figure out what the solution is?

I decided to downgrade from 14.04 since there were some issues with that still. I decided to go with 13.10 since I know ubuntu a little more than others.

Anyways, I tried restoring the backup I made in the browser by clicking “import” in fog under “configuration save”. It seems to go through, but nothing shows up. I have restarted too.

My next test was to manually import the sql file. This is the error I get… Any ideas?

root@fog:/opt# mysql -D fog -u root -p < fog.sql
Enter password:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 17: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘801’ at line 1
root@fog:/opt#

Thanks for the help!

Ok I will probably give that a try then unless you, or anyone else, has any other ideas on how to fix this?

Will the restore work with the fog database/images without any issue? I’ve done it on ubuntu before with ease.

Do you think it is wise to maybe reinstall a clean 12.04 ubuntu? Then I could restore the database and see if that helps? I have always had problems with the TFTP (the known issue on startup). I’m just wondering if there are more problems that may arise and if so, installing the earlier, known working version, may be a better solution?

Thanks again

Yes… multiple… chrome, firefox, ie

It appears when the fog service runs that it isn’t seeing the server? in the fog log, the hostnamechanger says it’s disabled and it isn’t on the server. The computer name is also not changing.

I’m running ubuntu 14.04 with FOG 1.2.0.

Thanks for the help so far!

Any ideas? Thanks everyone!

Also with this… not sure if it’s relating to the same thing, but are the hosts’ service settings supposed to show up as checked? Attached I have a picture of a host that I just check all boxes and updated it. They show up blank after the page reloads.

Thanks!

I just tried and no luck… same result - it wont search. It finds 0 results.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

I am trying to search the client list, but I am returning 0 results with machines I know are there.

-I have restarted our fog server (also manually restarted mysql service)
-You can click “list all hosts” and they all show up
-the groups will search and they will also all list

I just tried upgrading to 1.2.0 from 1.1.2 to see if that would help… no luck… same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
