    • Schema Update problem from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2

      Hey guys,

      I’ve run into an issue installing the latest update. The FOG installer shows up as version 1.1.1, and gets to the point where you cannot update the Database Schema. The installer doesn’t show any errors, but I am unable to get passed the install/upgrade database option as the error says it cannot create a FOG database. SQL passwords to left blank and all, can’t get passed this to my FOG installation.

      EDIT: Ubuntu 12.04 Server LTS, fresh install of 1.1.1 upgrading to 1.1.2.

      No success Tom. All of the Surface Pros have SSDs so I think those parts of the error logs are because the OS boots up immediately and the network devices lag behind.

      I’ve seem to narrowed it down to the FOG client having a problem working in Windows 8.1 64 bit. I just tested the same thing with the FOG server and it works fine in Windows 7 32 bit. Even running the client as admin and in compatibility mode doesn’t fix the printer manager service is disabled issue.

      Hey Tom,

      Sorry about the late reply but the issue is still ongoing. I tried reinstalling the client, reinstalling FOG on the server twice, and no luck. Also tried running the installer as admin in windows but still the same result :(. The client’s OS is windows 8.1 x64 if that helps.

      EDIT: It does look like a problem with the FOG client. I’ve switched NICs and even when the MAC address for the client isn’t registered it still reports back as being disabled.

      I can definitely post a screen of anything if it helps, but the only option for the printer manager settings under fog settings is enabled or disabled (checkmark or not checked) in which case I have it checked. Same thing for the individual hosts.

    • "Printer Manager Sevice Disabled" regardless of configuration - FOG 1.1.0 12.04.4 Server LTS

      Hi all,

      I’m having a problem with the newest FOG client on host machines that used to work in 0.32. I have a clean install of 1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Server. I keep getting a “Printer Sevice Disabled” on the client in the FOG log when trying to add printers via the printer manager.

      Also, when I add a printer to a group of machines it doesn’t actually save the printer add. I have to manually go and add the printer to each individual host.

      Lastly, I used to be able to use the Local Printer option in printer management to install printers without needing to point to an INF as long as our image had the INF installed in the OS. You used to be able to put a fake INF driver location, then go back and modify to make it blank. What option would I use to be able to configure a network printer via IP without pointing to an INF location?

      Here’s the log:

      6/10/2014 9:40 AM FOG::PrinterManager Sevice is disabled.
      6/10/2014 9:42 AM FOG::PrinterManager Sevice is disabled.

    • RE: USB NIC w/o PXE Support, 64 Bit UEFI

      So, after spending two days trying to figure it out, I came up with a solution that works best for my situation for the moment until I can figure out how to use syslinux with uefi boot. The USB NIC works after loading bzImage which is great.

      I forgot to mention but this has been something I’ve been trying to figure out with the Surface Pro 1 from Microsoft since I don’t have the funds to purchase a crapload of $40 Microsoft Ethernet to USB adapters which are the only ones that support PXE boot natively.

      I used this [B][URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Bootable_Media’]guide [/URL][/B]as proof of concept to see if I could hit the FOG 0.32 running in a VM, and it seems like I can but unless I replace syslinux.cfg every time I create a task for a new host since the MAC address changes. I could use the capone plug-in I guess, but that doesn’t solve my problem of booting with UEFI and syslinux and bzImage/init.gz. I was able to run everything in the boot menu, but anything that required a reboot (hence an imaging task) required me to overwrite syslinux.cfg manually. At least if I could get an EFI bootable stick to hit the FOG server (1.1.0) then I could do a hardware inventory on it instead of having to manually add the MAC address of all the devices.

      My solution for the time being seems to be using CloneZilla and DRBL using samba to individually image or multicast image, or, use an ISO that I created with Win8.1SE on a USB which will load a ramimage of Win 8.1 as a live OS that even allows for wireless imaging since I have a licensed version of Ghost 11.5 copied into the image.

      Lastly, I still want to use FOG to pick these up and join them to the domain / printer management / snap in management so once they reboot and sysprep, they should connect and do these once they boot into the OS.

      In a perfect world, I’d be able to use an EFI bootable USB like the guide describes using a bios bootable version of syslinux with bzImage to hit the FOG server, register so I can create an imaging task, then reboot and hit the FOG server again without having to replace syslinux.cfg to customize the mac for the over 100 tablets that I plan on imaging :).

    • RE: USB NIC w/o PXE Support, 64 Bit UEFI

      No luck. It looks like iPXE boots from outside of the Clonezilla Live environment. In other words it’s just a copy of the iPXE iso which doesn’t support USB. Is there other way to boot to the FOG server to create an imaging task using USB? I remember reading you could do it with FOG .32 and non uefi systems by copying tftpboot to the root of a USB, but it doesn’t look like the same method could be used with FOG 1.0.

      The version of clonezilla I’m using - 2.2.3-10 doesn’t have that option in the boot menu for some reason? I’ll try a few versions to see if I can get it to work. I would much rather stick to using FOG than having to image locally with a USB in any regard.

      Thanks for the direction Tom!
