@george1421 said in problem boot ipxe with usb nic after update FOG 1.5.8 -> 1.5.9:

@Sebastian-Roth Just circling back on this.

I took 3 of the dell systems here that have thunderbolt/usb-c ports and use the WD15 (mainly), WD19 and the Dell usb-c to ethernet adapter.

I downloaded the ipxe.efi from the github site: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/master/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi and installed it on my production 1.5.7 server. I confirmed the iPXE build number is [g4bd0].

It works with usbc->ethernet dongle.

I was able to pxe boot into the FOG iPXE menu with a Dell 7400, 7389, 3520 laptops with the WD15 and usb-c to ethernet dongle. The 7389 pxe booted with the WD19 dock OK. I did not test the others.

I can confirm that the version if ipxe.efi from FOG 1.5.7 is [990f4]. So as far as I can tell there is no impact of updating from 1.5.7 to 1.5.9 on network booting.

Thanks you very much.

@jc35 Found some time to look into the client updater on Linux and seems like there are a few issues with that unfortunately. I was able to find and fix the first one but it still needs more work.

Hi,
with the modification of “hostinfo.php”, it’s works fine.
Thank you very much.

@Tom-Elliott
ok.

@Tom-Elliott said in change color of icon "upload":

if you don’t want user’s to accidentally overwrite an image, why not just set the image to “protected” and/or change the files so they’re immutable?

This is the proper answer. 1.3.0+ allows you to protect the image from accidental deletion and accidental rewrite.

In 1.3.0+ the terminology is much more clear. In 1.2.0 and below, it was “upload” & “download”. Myself, all of my co-workers, my cousin, and many people on the forums all found this very confusing. So for 1.3.0 and higher, it was changed to “Capture” & “Deploy” and now we see a whole lot less confusion about it.

@jc35 I would recommend you upgrade your FOG Server in the near future to take advantage of these features plus the many others that 1.3.0+ has to offer. You might want to look at this article if you don’t want to disturb the old server and want to start fresh: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG

if the only reason you want to use custom init’s is because of the xp imaging issue, that problem is fixed in the development version of fog. just use the latest dev version and your problem should go away.

[quote=“jc35, post: 38318, member: 26878”]Hello,
I have install an ubuntu as :
sda1-> ext4 -> /
sda2->swap
sda3->extented
sda5->ext4 -> /home
In fog, I create image as :
storage group : default
os : Linux - (50)
Image type: Multiple partition image - Single disk (Not Resizable) - (2)

The upload is crate with success. The list of file create in the directory “ubnutulinux”:

I try with 3 primary partitions, and it’s works.
