FTP connection worked fine, did this get fixed in .32 ever? “[SIZE=13px][FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]Failed to delete image file” still happens from the GUI…thanks[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

and those problems were solved with…? replies without answers are worthless. (my statement isn’t in a mean tone)

“unable to start task” and “unable to connect to tftp server”
My current setup is Ubuntu 10.04 *updated/upgraded
Installed Fog with the following settings;
Server is 192.168.1.10
DHCP is 192.168.1.1
DNS DHCP is 192.168.1.2
I’ve installed the DHCP server option for FOG, because I want this on a laptop to make it portable for imaging, along with an 8 port switch. I am totally off the network.

Ubuntu username is fogger
Password is password

Everything installed great, I am even connect to the ‘defaultmember’ storage without problem.
I now get PXE successfully sent to my clients, but only after I sudo \etc\init.d\dhcp3-server start manually after reboot
I am able to do a full host registration, I can see my client and the MAC.
BUT, when I now to go assign a task, (upload in this case) I get the infamous “unable to start task” and “unable to connect to tftp server” error.

I’ve double checked that everything username is “fogger” and “password”. This includes the GUI change and the config.php file.
I’m successful from the command line with ftp’ing with the username and password above.

Any ideas?

I did this mobile setup too - where FOG is the DHCP server for the clients. However, when I’m booting off my switch to the Fog Laptop, I am not getting PXE to even pickup up other pc to be imaged from my Fog server. Any tweaks to (Ubuntu 0.04) DHCP that I might be overlooking? Thanks all

Circling back here folks.
SOLVED!

This is kind of an old thread at this point, but I had the same issues so I wanted to put the information I found on here in the event it will help anybody else…what I found was that both DHCP, and TFTP had stopped working when I rebooted my 12.04 ubuntu LTS desktop. After doing some testing, here’s what I found that works for me to get it restarted quickly.
FROM THE UBUNTU Desktop

1. Open a command window
2. ENTER: sudo start isc-dhcp-server (enter your password when asked)
3. ENTER: sudo restart tftpd-hpa

BAM!

I have an unmodified router and have had no problems. I have a modified router (tomato) at home that is modified and I do the pxe passthru and also have no problems. I’m on Ubuntu 12.04 (notorious, I know) with the unmodified router and after a recent reboot (no updates) I get the PXE-E53 and PXE-M0F return on my clients. I did update (again) the tftpd-hpa entry and re-add my fog IP. Still nothing. Ugg.

Still can’t figure out why all of the sudden I’m getting the notorious PXE-E53 and PXE-M0F errors. Anyone with a solution? I’m behind my home router that does the DHCP, has been working great. My mistake was rebooting my fog server, now I got nothing > ugg!

Anyone actually fix this “Unable to find a valid task ID based on the clients mac address of” as I have tried the “@” fix to the file at line 133 and still have a loop on a machine with a previously entered MAC address. Help!

I am getting this same issue but I really don’t see anyone address it with someone using this setup with a home router, that is already server DHCP requests. Any ideas there?

Have you guys tried to do an off network fog server? Like self contained on a laptop, that you could just drag into a room with a switch and image pc’s? Also, does anyone have any advice on a setup behind a small home router managing DHCP and not Fog? Thx

Anyone have settings for FOG on a home network, where my router is already doing DNS/DHCP?

What I’d love to see here is someone posting an actually working solution for uploading a pre-sysprep’d image. I have tried several times here (single partition…) to upload a pre-sysprep’d image, having it only fail. Is there anyone doing this and if so, how? Thanks

Yea, way passed due to have this fixed. Permissions issue? Anyone?

Wish this really worked, saves me time from having to fire up FTP all the time…

Aside from 12 problems, is CentOS better for any other reason? I’m considering the move, too. Thx

This got a bit messy, I just downloaded the deployment cabs from Dell and made a DVD, then included those folders in my image going forward.

OK, unrelated to here, but I found the fix.

For some reason (Ubuntu 12.04) after a reboot dumped the interface eth0; entry in the dhcpd.conf file, after netmask. Edit, update, restarted dhcpd.

Working.

Ok guys, after hours and hours and reading and reading I had my Fog server running great. Then we had a power outage (UPS protected) then my Fog server/router went down. Problem is, everything was working great. Now for some mysterious reason, when I boot from PXE, I get no DHCP address from the router. Not sure if this is a dhcpd.conf file I need to adjust but basically here’s my setup.

192.168.1.1 (router address and DNS pointer)
192.168.1.2 (fog server itself and tftp server)

DHCP and PXE worked great and was working - not after several FOG server reboots, I get no dhcp handouts.

Ugg!

I did in fact do the sysprep, then the fogprep too, even tho they say in .32 you don’t have too. problem is there’s too many “this says that” and “then this way”. Like a nice, concise step by step is what I’ll have to put together. Not to take away from all andyroo54’s hard work. we can just make it even better. ill test and try again, but…(dual partitions, etc)
