Hi all! im running FOG .32 on ubuntu,
Im trying to install some printers in a computer lab to a group of windows XP computers.
FOG does install the driver and sets up the port but i cant figure out why no printer device shows up under printers and faxes.
If i manually go to add printer and use the port/ip FOG setup it will successfully add the printer device and print.
any ideas why its not adding the device?
I’m using generic HP PCL6 driver.
Thanks again everyone!
OK! changing to the older grub did the trick!
I will give that a try and let everyone know how it goes.
Yea tried that and multipartition for multiple hard drives ( only using 1 hard drive) same result.
Thanks for help
I know FOG itself is working just fine as i just imaged multiple other computers with windows images. its just related to my ubuntu image im not sure why.
Or i should say what’s causing this issue.
Yes i have deployed windows OS to them in the past and the PXE screen comes up. at the end of image deployment fog shows task completed.
Reading other threads i found a possible fix by removing[SIZE=2] grub2 and install grub legacy? i’m unsure how to do this but does anyone know if this could fix my issue?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Thanks again everyone![/SIZE]
Ok so i know this works i have gotten it to work before but now when i try and deploy my newly created ubuntu 12.04lts image the system restarts and freezes at a black screen that says booting… after about 1 min or so it restarts and repeats.
I think im doing something wrong with my upload process for the image. its been quite some time since i have uploaded any linux images for redeployment.
FOG settings,
Image:
Image name-ubuntu
Storage Group-Default
Image type- Multiple partition image disk single disk.
On the host:
host image- ubuntu
host OS- Linux(50)
When creating the ubuntu master image i did a custom partitioning for installing ubuntu in ext3 and to use the whole disk.
before i upload the ubuntu master image i boot to the live CD and run fsck /dev/sda1 which then says the disk is clean. shutdown the system and start the upload.
[SIZE=2]An [/SIZE]alternative[SIZE=2] thought, if i created the master image on a smaller hard drive then uploaded it as a RAW would that work for deploying the ubuntu image?[/SIZE]
[quote=“ozzik, post: 12799, member: 6008”]ok, scratch that. just figured out it was a problem with kernel.

Hi Kenvin,
Thanks for the reply.
Sure did i also tried updating BIOS then running FOG (deploy or upload) on multiple of the vostros laptops. same error :C
we also have the latitude E5420 and E5430 FOG works just fine with them.
The Vostro laptops are for our student laptop carts.
Any more ideas?
Here is a screenshot of the error message.

When you say link to the spec sheet do you mean dells downloads and drivers support page for its service tag of the laptop?
I am not sure how to change a driver in the kernel.
Will get screenshot of error and post back.
Thanks for the help.
If it helps i am using a chainloader [FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]using 4.04[/COLOR][/FONT]

give it a try using some random data or text files on ubuntu
use the sudo mount command drag some files into the images folder there then plug your hard drive in a different system and voila files are there!
when you upload an image to FOG it goes to the /Images in the root of the drive.
when you use the sudo mount command it mounts the hard drive to that folder.
so when image is upload to goes to the /images folder but the hard drive is attached to it meaning the images gets moved to the hard drive.
each time you want to use a different hard drive just reuse the sudo mount and mount it to the /images
Sorry for cross post i can’t seem to locate the delete post option…
I do something like this my self.
Make sure the hard drive is in linux format
attach the USB drive
Open terminal
type: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /images ( note the sdc1 may be different if you have multiple USB drive/flash connected you can check what the hard drive label is by opening disk utility and looking at the “device: /dev/sd**” of the USB hard drive.)
this will mount the usb hard drive to fogs /images Dir so your next image capture will go to the usb drive.
after the capture restart FOG and it will go back to the default /images on the primary hard drive.
Hope this helps!
you might want to check if changing the BIOS SATA from AHCI to ATA helps.
Or see if your BIOS is set to run windows legacy mode,
windows legacy mode is required to install windows 7 on a windows 8 system.
Hi all,
Our school district just got a large order of Dell vostro 3350 laptops and i can’t seem to get them to work with fog.
When trying to register with fog i get Unknown bios version aborting.( still works after a few moments)
when trying to deploy an image error is kernel panic not syncing: attempted to kill init
I am running FOG on Ubuntu with most up to date version of FOG/Kernel
FOG server is working on our other computer models
I have tried:
Changing BIOS SATA from AHCI to ATA
Updating BIOS
downloading and tested diffrent Kernels:
