Hello,

when I exit PXE using rEFInd_EFI, computer is stuck on initializing on FOG 1.5.7 and 1.6.0.
Other exit type only give error and edit of scanfor in refind.conf doesn’t solve the problem.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

@Sebastian-Roth As I was running a VM, i have restore snapshot and restart the process.
First, i updated last GIT version then do the OS upgrade.
SQL hasn’t been touch this way and everything works fine.

Could FOG install tried to install mariadb over mysql since I was under version 18.04 or is there a check of running SQL server type (if it’s mysql or mariadb) ?

Thanks.
1.5.7.745 update works fine.

Hello,

it seems that mysql have been remove after a do-release-upgrade between Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

On GUI, I have : Database connection unavailable

With SSH, I have :

root@fogserver:~/fogproject/bin# mysql -u root
ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'unix_socket' is not loaded

During FOG reinstall :

* Installing package: mariadb-client..........................Failed! (Will try later)
* Installing package: mariadb-server..........................Failed! (Will try later)

Hello,
I am trying to update to the last git version from 1 .5.7.713 to 1.5.7.743 under Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS and I am this error :

* Setting up fogproject user..................................Already setup
* Locking fogproject as a system account......................OK
* Setting up fogproject password..............................Failed!

In log file :

Thank you.

Nevermind.
It’s working again.

Hello,

I have updated FOG to last GIT version monday (maybe this isn’t link).
When i try to deploy registered host with any image for pxe menu, i have a “chainload error”.
When i do it by task in GUI it works fine.

Any idea ?

Hello,
I have the “scanfor” error on a Dell Otiplex 3020 with rEFInd.
Some people said to remove or edit the “scanfor” line in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf
but it’s not fixing the problem. (maybe i didn’t edit it well)
No other exit type let the computer boot on HDD after network.

Is there a solution ?

Thank you.

@Quazz
You had the same. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7324/small-text-display-bug-image-capture
I should have seach before asking…

@Tom-Elliott Happy to help !

@Quazz I asked this because i just saw a message twice saying Fog fixed MBR during capture task.

Hello,

I changed EFI to Legacy before upload since i created image on VirtualBox and I can’t boot on lan with EFI bios.
Will FOG will corrupt the EFI install since it detect MBR problem because it’s GPT.

Thank you.

Hello,

“Image Compression Rating” value isn’t saved correctly when changed for new images.
Not tested on image created before update to not lost settings.

I have update it with mysql

update images set imageCompress = 6 where imageID=<ID>;

@Sebastian-Roth yes it’s working-1.6 updated this morning.
I am not able to reproduce the error on a test computer.
I’ll try to go back in classroom i have see the problem.

Edit :

It comes and go

@Sebastian-Roth
I make new install of Fog under Debian.
I was using Ubuntu years ago so it’s old install (3 years old).

I have been testing Fog version since years with Tom.
And as i work with VM, i can revert change easily.

Hello again,

When creating task from group, nothing is created but message say task has been added.

When creating single task (probably after opening host page from host list in a new window then starting the task), i end with timezone error saying it’s not in the DB.
Some task started well but i don’t remember if i started them the same way.

@Sebastian-Roth
I run Ubuntu 16.04. lol
It’s an old FOG install.

It’s working much better.
Thank you for the information.

Bios update doesn’t fix the problem but remove the “Firmware Bug” line.

Thank you for your help.

I also see this in apache error log :

@sebastian-roth I don’t think to go in the wrong direction about the 63s.
Here is what I have from command line on working computer :

DISKPART> detail partition

Partition 1
Type   : 07
Masqué : Non
Active : Oui
Décalage en octets : 32256

  N° volume   Ltr  Nom          Fs     Type        Taille   Statut     Info
  ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------
* Volume 1     C                NTFS   Partition    232 G   Sain       Système

How I can get same result from debug task ?
I tried making the partition with parted (mkpart primary 63s 100%) but without success on booting computer.
