@Wayne-Workman Sorry, I will do that in the future. I was able to capture my image after fixing the GPT remnants.

Thank you for all your help!

@Wayne-Workman OK, so I ran the 1.3 install again after the FOGMulticastManager Service Failed message and it completed successfully.

BUT, when I got to capture my image, I get to “Saving original partition table…” and stops there. No error or anything.

@Wayne-Workman I just tried installing 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 Server and during the install, it fails at

Starting FOGMulticastManager Service ................. Failed!

Is this anything to be alarmed at? Proceed as normal?

The only reason I am using Ubuntu is because I am somewhat familiar with it (not saying much) should I try Debian?

@Wayne-Workman I tried installing 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 one time without installing 1.2 first and it didnt ask me about changing the SQL password but did ask if the password was blank. I said yes and it installed without a hitch. But when I went to capture my first image, it couldnt mount the file system and fails immediately

Also, I think some might be taking the “Upgrade to Trunk” at face value thinking it is JUST an upgrade and not a full install.

@Wayne-Workman Can I just install FOG 1.3 on Ubuntu 16 or do I need to install 1.2 first then upgrade to 1.3?

@Wayne-Workman I was looking at This

@Tom-Elliott I am using GIT

@Tom-Elliott I ran those commands too and the update fails at the same spot of installing php-gettext, I tried manually installing php-gettext and get the same error as above.

@Wayne-Workman The only reason I said 14.4 LTS is because the wiki says 16 has issues. But with your blessing, I will use 16 LTS.

This is what I get.

sudo apt-get install php-gettext
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
php-gettext is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: apache2-mpm-prefork (> 2.0.52) but it is not going to be installed or
                                apache2-mpm-itk but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: apache2.2-common but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I think I’m just going to backup my images and install a fresh 14.4 LTS and FOG 1.3

Well I am trying to update and keep getting to Installing php-gettext…Failed.

I found a thread with something similar but it doesnt help. The thread said to run these commands

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
sudo rm -rf /etc/php5
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt-get/sources.d/ondrej
sudo apt-get purge php5*
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

But the install still fails.

Thanks, I’ll try this and report back.

How do I upgrade to 1.3? Is that the same as “Upgrade to Trunk” in the wiki?

So I am trying to image a few Dell XPS 13 (9350) but only have a single USB-C to Ethernet adapter. I registered the first host and was able to capture an image and test it, but now that I have plugged in the adapter into another PC. It says Host not registered. So I deleted the host from the web interface and went through the registration process again. It says everything is good and I can see the host in the web interface but when I PXE boot the host, it says it isnt registered.

I have deleted the host from the web interface a few times and have had no luck with registering it through PXE. I have updated the server OS (Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS) I am still running FOG 1.2.0.
Any ideas or advice?

Hello All!

First off thank you in advance for your advice and help.

What I am wondering is, can you edit the PXE boot menu to automatically boot an iso or img file instead of defaulting to the internal HDD? I have my all my PCs at home encrypted with diskcryptor and would like FOG to hand out the bootloader which can be an ISO file or IMG file.

And if FOG cannot do this. Does anyone know what can?

Thanks again!
