Hey guys i’m seeing this exact problem. I did a fresh install of the trunk a week or two ago, i’m on version 7519. I’m on Ubuntu 14.04.

I did re-import my hosts from my 1.2.0 server, not sure if this is causing it or not.

I see you guys got it fixed by creating the new group table, but i’m concerned i’ll lose all of my hosts when i do that? If it won’t mess with my hosts, can someone give me some direction on how exactly i run that create table command? i’m not very linux or mysql savvy Thank you!!

Edit: I just checked a second site that i have on the trunked version, and it is doing the same thing except it shows 0 new members after I try to put computers in the group. I get no error, just no members. This site is running 7851 on 14.04 and i did NOT restore any type of hosts, this was a fresh install… ugh please help

That makes sense, the only reason we stuck with the desktop version is we have on site people that are not all that technical. Walking them through a CLI is tough sometimes if we can’t remotely manage. If i can’t get the trunk version installed on this version of ubuntu, next time i’m on site i will defiantly try a debian cli.

I’ll post anymore updates as soon as i can. Again, thanks for the info and i’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

@Wayne-Workman We have about 30 sites using fog, all of them are identical as much as possible to make it easier for our people to manage. Is there any benefits when using Debian over Ubuntu? Is it worth changing all of them? Thanks for all the help!

Ok, so i tried the link you sent and it would never work. It said the link i added to my sources was wrong and wouldn’t allow me to install. SO, i downloaded the v14 of ubuntu desktop, re-formatted the server, and when i try to install the 1.2.0 version of FOG, it errors out of Mysql install.

I got a copy of this log, see attached foginstall.log

I have to leave to head back home, but let me know what you guys think. I can remotely manage this server, i just won’t be able to test the pxe until i come back on site. Let me know what you think on why this is failing. I always stuck with 10.04 because it was stable and i never had much of a issue using it until now

Thanks again for all the help!

@Tom-Elliott, how do i get these console errors for you? I’m pretty green on linux and i’m using ubuntu 10.4 desktop version.

Ok, I tried to upgrade the version of FOG to trunk as you suggested @cml. I got an error at PHP5-Mysqlnd. See the image attached.

I also tried to upgrade the undionly.kpxe with the exact instructions, everything looked like it went well but when i booted to FOG it failed at “booting to default.ipxe” and just sat there, did not reboot or anything.

Yes, the one in the picture is a brand new Latitude 5550. I’m having this same issue with a 5 year old dell, that never had issues before this upgrade. Do you have a link to this fog trunk you are talking about? For so many years fog just worked out of the box, actually trouble shooting issues is new to me lol

edit:
I just checked the working compatibility list and my new model is in fact not on that list, but my older 6500 is. Odd

Thanks for the Reply Wayne! I’ll defiantly try the kkpxe option! I’m not sure if this has anything to do with UFI or Secure boot, as my Latitudes 6500 are having the same issues, and they are old enough those options are not in the BIOS. I thought maybe me using my database from 0.32 could have been the problem, so i started over from scratch and it still is doing this… It’s a real hair puller Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but i’ll try that kkpxe option next time i am on site. Thanks again!

Hey everyone, i’m having a issue with certain models of computers and i’m not sure how to fix it.

FOG Server (Dell2900) Ubuntu 10.04
Fog Version: 10.2.0 (fresh install, imported in my hosts)
DHCP: Set the DHCP to point to udionly.kpxe

Here is my problem, when i boot up a Dell Latitude e5550 PXE Starts, and it gets to a spot that shows "configuring (net0 34:e6:d7:37:52:0b)…

It reboots the computer and never uploads the image like the task shows. I’ve had this happen with an acer laptop, so i don’t think it’s specific to this dell model, but some of my dell models will boot up just fine. I’ve updated the kernel to the latest published version, still they boot loop. Has anyone seen this? It did not do this to me on version 0.32.

It reboots right after this.

UPDATE: I just had the same issue happen with a dell 6500 (older model). any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!
