Hello All! (Especially Wilsol)
I used the top configuration ideas from Wilsol, and before I could get through the entire list, darned thing started working. (yeah probably secure boot, thanks Tom for pointing us in the right direction)
Thanks to everyone for the assist.

Hi Tom and Rodluz. I use FoG often. Our company uses Lenovo’s predominantly and all works great. For legacy devices I use undionly.kkpxe but mainly for EUFI devices I use ipxe.efi
Tom, I went into Bios and yes, Secure Boot and all of its options are enabled.
Rodluz, yes I do get the >>Start PXE over IPv4. screen and then I get the proper IP addresses and message that NBP file downloaded successfull, then the screen goes blank and then the Start PXE over IPv6 screen pops up, then nothing. Times out.
Thanks for the responses, all. What’s my workaround to get this to work?

I have a new Dell Optiplex 7020 and I am trying to get it to connect to my FoG server via PXE and it’s not working. Anyone know of a working FXE file I should be using for this connectivity? I want to save an image that uses EUFI Bios and iPXE is not working 
Any suggestions?

Oops!
I deleted from CLI. But I just did that again and the image did not appear in the list and the storage number increased accordingly.

Hello. I have deleted old images in my images folder. However, the available storage space node never changes. How can I update this to show actual drive space available for images?
Hello team. Running into an issue. I have these new Lenovo all-in-one devices and I have opted to use the available SSD rive addon as my base OS drive, and a secondary 500gb for data. However in fog, while I can select multiple partition image, it will not allow me to make either of the drive resizable. That created big problems for me. Is fog going to come up with some work around for this? Has anyone any thoughts on this?
@sebastian-roth said in Image menu not showing recently created images:
@Jim-Holcomb How many images do you have? I am not aware of a limit of images that can be seen in the menu but I can’t tell you for sure.
So would you be able to delete an older one and see if one of the new one pops up in the menu?
Hello Sebastian - I tried that - deleting older images. No joy. You know that the image menu just keeps going to the next number in order. I am currently at 160, but of course I do not have anywhere near that many images. Then menu goes to 158 then ends. Yet if I go to “List all Images” of course the image resides there with all of it’s available information, size, date, etc…
I am stumped here.
@jim-holcomb I can deploy them manually from host, but not automatically from choosing the image from the menu. Not sure why they do not appear on the menu?
I have created and uploaded two new images for deployment, but they are now showing up on the boot menu. Any idea why?
I am getting this error nearly every time I click on list all hosts (and have to reboot)
DataTables warning: table id=dataTable - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1
Can anyone help?
@sebastian-roth
That’s true, but every time I upgraded either fog or the OS, something would break. I used to have the advantage of Tom Elliott being available to assist in these cases, but he never returns emails or phone calls from me in like nearly 2 years.
Specific hardware you see this issue happening on? Make and model?
We have mostly Lenovo machines; desktops and laptops. Stalls on both…
Have you tested other machines/hardware to see if they behave the same?
Yes laptops and desktops.
Are Host (what you called fog client) and FOG server on the same subnet or connected across subnets through a router/gateway?
The latter. For the moment, the Fog Server is connected across a vpn to another building…
Tried connecting the host as close to the FOG server as possible (same switch) to rule out network components?
Not yet - but thought of moving the fog server to this building, which is where my new office is located
Linux OS and version?
Ubunto 16
FOG version?
1.5.6.700
I have a strange situation happening. When I’m running the fog client uploading an image, during capture, it will run between 3 and 5 GB at a time, then stall for about 10 minutes then run another 3 to maybe 5 GB and then stall again for about 10 or 15 minutes and I just can’t figure out why. Anyone have any suggestions?
Well, not sure why this happened but I took the job out for the task queue and ran the image manually - this worked!
Sebastian, now the output looks like this:
find /etc -type f -exec grep “date.timezone” {} /dev/null ;
/etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini:; http://php.net/date.timezone

Still getting the checkin failure
@jim-holcomb said in Checkin failure?:
find /etc -type f -exec grep “date.timezone” {} /dev/null ;
Now today when running this command: find /etc -type f -exec grep “date.timezone” {} /dev/null ;
find: missing argument to `-exec’
The current timezone is EST:
