[quote=“AllenP, post: 41471, member: 24073”]I don’t know if you found a solution to this but after goggling the problem for days and days. I thought to myself what could have changed between .32 and 1.2. So I looked at the boot setting in the DHCP server and saw that the file name had changed from .32 to 1.2 so make sure you check DHCP settings edit option 067. I really hope this helps someone else bc it drove me nuts. I wish that someone would big red flags and fireworks going off anything to draw more attention to the change in the file name.

Part of the installation script that tells you that you need to update your DHCP Scope.

This looks interesting… it does have the ability to limit processes! Unfortunately it doesn’t exactly work lol. Anything else someone has up their sleeve

Here I am again, with another one of those OFF THE WALL ideas. I will explain my situation again so incase someone who is not familiar with my set up understands what I am trying to accomplish.

[B]Platform:[/B]
Windows 7 32 bit

[B]End goal:[/B]
What I want to do, is limit the amount of times a program can be opened, so it can only be opened once and can not be opened until your current window is closed. Particularly, I am aiming to lock down Chrome. Chrome has this weird habit of letting you use an extension to limit the amount of tabs a browsing session can have, but then you can open 20 different chrome windows and circumvent the tab limitation (each window will be locked to 3 tabs but I want only 3 tabs EVER and only one window EVER.)

Is there a way to limit a program process to run only a limited number of times?

[B]The reason:[/B]
I work k-12 and my high school students that have an online learning alternative have found a way to circumvent the system by using a browser session to log into the course material and use another browser session to complete the test material while using the course material to answer the questions.

I used FireFox and it worked well, to limit the number of windows open to only 1 and I limit them to 3 tabs. This works except the service I use doesn’t support FireFox completely, some of the material doesn’t display properly or entirely and the “continue” or “next” button seems to be missing in the material. Granted I have reached out to the company many times to complain of the issues, but they only seem to contact me back after Firefox puts out an update, and they want me to update firefox to see if the issue is still there… Uhh yeah, if you didn’t fix it, it still exists! They also have no intentions of only allowing a single sign on instance to the material.

So inventive ideas are welcome!

[B]Current Measures:[/B]
I have already locked down Internet explorer by replacing it with a lock down browser, but this prevents the users from being able to access the calculator, or the music app, or the word processor, it also takes some special steps to stop the process, we only use this in the worse case scenarios where we really can’t keep the student on task.

I have ran chrome in Kiosk mode, but this eliminates the ability to use the browser in it’s normal function and works in full screen mode only. The only way to leave chrome kiosk is to use alt+F4, and you can not access the tabs or the url bar while in Kiosk mode.

As you can see, I am up against a wall, and any ideas you have that can help me to achieve my goal would be greatly appreciated.

Beat me to it

[quote=“Abadie Pierre, post: 41460, member: 3859”]Hi Tom Elliott,

Thanks for your answer. Excuse me for my english, i come from France (Marseille).

1/question 1: no. I created the image from fog server 1.2.0. No, it’s not from fog 0.32
2/question 2: I created an image, and after that, i would like to download it on another computer, but after boot with pxe, the computer (dell latitude e5500) reboot.

What do you think about it

Best regards[/quote]

Is this a new unit or had you used this computer in the past? Was there an operating system on the disk before you attempted to use FOG, or is this a new hard drive out of the box?

Sometimes a partition has to be supplied in order to use new hard drives, but if the hard drive was already partitioned, FOG should work with it. What is the last screen you see? can you take a video of the issue and upload it so we can pause the video to see where the issue is occurring?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 41254, member: 7271”]2923 should fix this issue.

Sorry I’m an idiot sometimes.[/quote]

No, you’re just human

This is just for fun, but go ahead, how long has your fog server been online?

Yes because when it (apache) serves the entire FOG web GUI system, it does so from your web path which is /var/www

So the entire path to WOL is /var/www/fog/wol/wol.php

The web path is /fog/wol/wol.php

Yes that is correct the other is in the folder on your desktop where you decompressed the tar.gz so you could install FOG.

The path on your desktop is not necessary, it is only installation material.

Your WOL path should be /fog/wol/wol.php On your FOG Settings page under the General Settings.

[quote=“geoffpeters, post: 41155, member: 25329”]When I schedule an upload task does FOG automatically send the packet or do I have to enable that somewhere?[/quote]

I believe it just sends the packet, there is no need to edit a config, or enable a setting.

You can change the Interface, the Host, and the Path in the Fog Settings though.

What version of FOG is installed?

What OS did you install FOG on?

It should be fairly simple. Re-run the installer and when it asks to use FOG as a DHCP, type Y and continue on answering the questions.

Guys, he solved his issue, this is an old topic. We are just playing Necromancy.

[quote=“Wolfbane8653, post: 41006, member: 3362”]Windows will not report the bandwidth or the disk info. in the FOG Web GUI. Windows Nodes do not use the same communications as Linux. If you would like to set up a Windows Node see [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Windows_Storage_Node[/url]

The only way of really knowing if it is working is to check the replication logs to see if that node is successfully replicating the files. If it is then you can set up a download task for a client and remove queuing from the fog server and other nodes on the network.[/quote]

One word can solve all your reporting woes… Nagios.

That is all

You can use it to check if a server is alive, and with proper set up it can even read out disk usage and make custom graphs, as well as a load of other things. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s a solution.

If you want to try Nagios, I recommend FAN (Fully Automated Nagios) as it will come with Nagios, Centreon (used to create the services and actually do the checking), and it includes Nagvis, a visual Nagios.

By no means is it for the faint at heart, I just wanted every one to know that this is capable of being done and some linux servers already do this.

Si no puede editar o cambiar la configuración del servidor DHCP tiene que utilizar DNSMASQ proxy servir a su archivo de arranque y el servidor.

If you can not edit or change settings on the DHCP server you need to use DNSMASQ to proxy serve your boot file and server.

Next year, I will build this into my image as a fail safe. I learned my lesson this year. And next year I will be active directory, it will me much easier for me to deploy applications across the board, not to mention that Chrome has ADM modules.

Thanks for the information though. I will read up on it and figure out a plan of action for next year.

For now the Registry method will get me through. At least until next year when I have my Active Directory in place, I already have ADM for chrome set up for my students, but our active directory is not ready for deployment yet.

[quote]User policies, on the other hand, will affect users in your domain whenever they sign in to a Chrome device, even if the device isn’t enrolled to your account. You can set user and device policies for each of your organizational units, and each unit can contain devices and users from different domains within your account.[/quote]

This has my attention though

It still leads me to believe the user has to log in in order to receive the benefits. I am installing chrome with the intent that my students won’t log in even though they have accounts. So I have to cover all bases. Still gives me something to think about.

At least I got my gun all cleaned up for firing into barrels of fish tomorrow

I know tab limiting isn’t that big of a deal, but I have to lock down the number of tabs or the students get off track. I think the staff need to do a better job of administering the students, IMHO, but I can’t fix that, I can however try to keep them on task.

Well it happened, I finally had my epiphany.

in order to install an extension from the command line, the easiest method to use is the registry update method.

This is the method I used to install the extension “Nuff Tabs”

[code]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions\kemeihccgedidlokcbfhdekcfojpjjmp]
“update_url”=“https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx”[/code]

Thanks for your help Tom, you nudged me in the right direction

I use a batch file to update the registry with these changes.

I have also attempted to use a “portable” version of chrome, but this portable version wipes the settings after the users exits. So this in turn resets every extension and setting in the preferences when the users clicks X.

If it exists in the first 10 pages of search criteria I probably tried it. I was hoping someone had a trick up their sleeve.

I’ve spent the past week toying with this hoping an epiphany would happen, but nothing so far.

And no that first link doesn’t work (the link works, the method described doesn’t), it only opens chrome it doesn’t install the extension or even bring up the installation prompt. --load-extension and --install-extension seem to have little purpose.

I do not want to have to drag and drop, if I have to drag and drop I will just use the method I stated in the first post that actually brings up the web store to the link I just have to click Install. I would like to automate the process though. I appreciate your links and ideas.

I have not tried re branding as automated installation doesn’t work and I don’t much care what icon or name is with the extension… yet

I’ll give it another shot with unpacked extensions.
