I am having the same issue with a thinkcenter 5048 I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for how to fix the windows boot partition to avoid this issue. I’m uncomfortable editing init.xz image and just resizing it seems to be a non starter because the existing data is more than 100mb.

I’m setting up a small desktop running Ubuntu server 12.04 with 2 NICs for testing fog changes the first NIC will be DHCP and connected to my main network for web access so i can patch and upgrade fog from repositories. I would like the second to be the one fog uses as an isolated network with it’s own DHCP service PXE etc… Being a bit of a Linux noob I was looking for advice on setting this up.

It seems to be a github issue.

The latest code as released by the developers it is updated daily sometimes. See [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url]

Will the machine see the windows partition if you boot from a windows repair disk if so repair it and it should work I believe this issue is fixed by fix parts in the SVN version

Ok I obviously need more caffeine I should have seen that.

This pops up a bit maybe add it to the wiki?

2952 that you loaded its been stable for me so far.

When I locate that record it showed two records and wouldnt allow me to insert the mac address so I deleted both and tried to recreate it in the fog ui but when i added host it went to a blank screen and the record is still not visible in the fog ui. I went back into mysql and tried your commands again and got this result.
mysql> select hostID from hosts WHERE hostName like ‘%lap7p96302%’ \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
hostID: 6223
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO hostMAC SET hmHostID=‘hostIDreturnedbefore’,hmMAC=‘d0:67:e5:2e:1e:ad’,hmPrimary=‘1’;
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry ‘d0:67:e5:2e:1e:ad’ for key ‘hmHostID’
mysql>

I am trying to register a host when it boots it says unregistered but when I attempt to register it I get a host name already exists on the boot menu and the web admin. When I search my hosts by name and by mac address I am unable to locate the record. I believe I have a corrupt record in my database but I am not comfortable with editing it directly. Anyone able to suggest some step by step commands to remove the offending record the host name should be lap7p96302 and the mac address [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]D0:67:E5:2E:1E:AD.[/COLOR][/FONT]

This used to happen when permissions in the images folder were wrong some people recently had issues because they forgot to choose a storage group for the image.

Just throwing this out there check the AD user make sure its not locked and try to login manually and see if you can join the domain with that user manually.

Do you have the full domain name entered for example mine is wisd.us and then for user it uses domain\user_name also remember to encrypt the password using the fog crypt password utility before entering it in. Note for username the domain can be shortened for example mine is wisd\user_name.

I don’t have edit access on the wiki maybe one of you can revise the entry.

Yes it’s listed as one of the examples on how to edit the boot menu on the main FOG wiki.

Have you tried adding both MAC addresses to FOG?

I would stay at 12.04 for ubuntu as far as the SVN path are you using the one currently listed in the wiki?

I believe its touched on here and involves the location plugin.

On which SVN did this start I updated to 2952 last week and and didn’t see this behavior if its more recent maybe someone else can confirm the behavior or maybe something is bugged on your side if its not showing on anyone else’s installs. Also there is a better script for updating SVN’s that doesn’t run the installer if you are updating frequently in the FOG tweaks.
