Does not solve not being able to boot from UEFI or latest Ubuntu versions.

Thanks.

Found through experimenting that only Ubuntu 20.04 Server or Desktop works fine to boot from REFIND_EFI

Does not work under UEFI boot.
Does not work on Ubuntu 22.04 or 23.04.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to boot ubuntu client from FOG menu and get following error.
Windows client can boot fine into the local operating system!
Linux client VM in Proxmox can boot fine into Operating System!
But not so with Ubuntu Client.
I also cannot Capture Ubuntu Client image as well.
Can capture Windows client image.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

then see black screen with blinking cursor.

physical host: Dell Latitude E7270 laptop
running fog server on VirtualBox. in “bridged adapter” mode

“Perform Full host registration …”
or
“Quick Registration …”

I get black screen with blinking cursor.

Thanks.
