    • RE: SVN 3377 - Quick reg/quick image doesn't auto-image

      [quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 47409, member: 28155”]You might look into the Capone plugin.

      It allows imaging without registering.[/quote]

      Well, the wiki page for the plug-in says:
      [SIZE=4][B]Capone[/B][/SIZE]

      [LIST]
      [*][B]Obsolete[/B] As of FOG v1.3.0-r2651 the fog user can now add Quick Image to the Fog iPXE Menu(For All Hosts) and then select the exact image desired without having to do any registration. BUT intervention is still required to start imaging.
      [/LIST]
      So, I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but I’ll check it out. Thanks.

    • SVN 3377 - Quick reg/quick image doesn't auto-image

      CentOS 6.6 FOG 1.3.0-R3377

      I’ve changed the quick image menu to not stop for a login and that part works (found the forum thread about hard setting the username/password variables which worked), and setting the image I want as default works for the selection, but the netbooks are not being added to the FOG_QUICKREG_GROUP_ASSOC assigned group nor being renamed (not a big deal just seems like a bug, also the log viewer doesn’t work at all).

      The problem I have is it picks the right option (default option I set) after the time out I set, but then it goes to the image selection screen and just sits there. There is only 1 image choice but it stays on the screen with that image name and the Return to the menu option and doesn’t proceed to image without intervention.

      I’m trying to make this as hands-off as possible for the person I’m setting this up for. Is there a way to have it pick the only image? The FOG_QUICKREG_AUTOPOP setting is enabled and the tooltip says “FOG will auto populate the host settings and automatically image the computer without user intervention” but it stops. The hosts are also not showing up as being registered (doesn’t really matter to me just thought I’d share in case it’s related).

      I can have the guy just press enter but auto-selection would be nice. Thanks guys.

    • RE: IPXE Boot Issue with Realtek RTL8153

      Hey guys, I’m glad I found this thread. I just wanted to add here that changing the ipxe file to undionly.kkpxe works on HP Mini 2102 netbooks which run this chipset (FOG on CentOS 6.6 and FOG 1.2.0).

    • RE: Fog Client and Proxy Problems

      [quote=“Andrew Coveney, post: 8929, member: 2612”]Hi all,

      I work in a school and have implemented fog with great success. Although we have just been told by our internet provider that our fog server is sending data to the proxy server. The proxy server has had over 500,000 hits witin a couple of days.

      It looks like the client is sending data out to the proxy and then being redirected back into our network causing issues with our internet connection.

      What i want to know is, are there any proxy bypass information that i need to add to the client to stop it looking for the fog server through the internet and just within our network.

      Failing that is there anything else i can that would point the client service directly to our fog server without it looking for it through the internet.

      Any help would be gratefully recieved

      You can define the server ip that the FOG client looks for as well as set the proxy that it uses under the FOG settings page inside FOG management itself. So you could set the IP it looks for directly to the server IP, and make sure that you remove the proxy lines if you added them during installation?

      I also work for a school. Our district has a server already set up downtown. I have one server at my building that has both an outside facing and inward facing interface with dhcpd configured only to hand out leases on the internal (192.168) interface so that my server doesn’t conflict with the one downtown nor hand out bad IPs that have no outside internet connectivity.

      The most recent server I set up is stand alone and is on a rolling cart for going to labs and using the switching equipment already in the individual labs to do those together. I probably only use like 25% of FOG’s features but I’ve found it to be very useful.

    • Problems I encountered to get FOG working .32 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Fresh install.

      vsftpd was not configured with an IP at all.

      The DefaultStorage group in FOG has the password configured to a random string of characters instead of the password I set for everything else. This caused vsftpd auth failures that stop the temporary file from being copied back over to images with the right name, there are MANY other people with this as a problem, and it took hours to troubleshoot (my first image was just shy of 50 gb and took 3 1/2 hours for it to fail and me to first encounter the error).

      TFTP was also configured to use a password I didn’t set, the same as above in all respects.

      EDIT: I forgot that I also had to defrag drives that were failing to upload on the ntfs partition resize.

      I already have a CentOS long term 5 release running .29 so I’m not new to FOG set up. I appreciate all the work you do.
