@george1421 This works. I did a backup as you suggested, and I did the command: DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostName = ‘name1’;
Thank you. I noticed I didn’t put the title of this thread correctly (I hit “send” too early). I’ll create another thread so it’s searchable, if I can’t figure out how to rename the post.
Thanks,

@george1421 Thanks. The column name is very close (hostName). The output is below, and the offending name is there (A40C6604DBF9).
I assume the command to delete is:
DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostName = ‘A40C6604DBF9’;
Let me know if this is correct.
Hello,
Recently I’ve been playing with my host naming convention for manageability on my Ubuntu 20.04 based FOG server.
One of the actions I did is to rename the host (e.g. from name1 to name2) using the Web UI. Then I want to revert to name1; and the Web UI popped up with a message saying that the host with name1 already exists. However, looking at the Web UI’s list of host, name1 is not there. I also tried removing name2 from host list followed by re-adding that same host with name1. Unfortunately this leads to the same error message.
I suspect that there’s something in Ubuntu terminal that needs to be manually removed to allow renaming the host (i.e. similar to removing OS images - removing both in Web UI and in Linux directory).
Would anyone know which file to edit? Also, what’s the BKM for renaming host to avoid this problem in the future?
Thanks,

Thank you all. That works.
In short, the easiest solution is to “Create a New Image” from Web UI and make sure the OS type, image type, and image path must be exact (i.e. case sensitive). Downside is that the size will be shown as 0.
Oh wait. Is it literally “Create New Image” in the Web UI and fill in all the parameters you mentioned earlier? I tried that, and the size of the image is 0 GB. Is that expected?
@wayne-workman Thank you. Where can one recreate the image definitions?
Hello. I’ve recently tested image transfer from FOG server to another FOG server. I deleted/overwritten the SQL(?) info of the target FOG server, so the Web UI now shows only the transferred image. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that the old images are still in the target FOG server, but they’re not listed in the Web UI.
Is there a way to reinstate these images back to Web UI? If so how? I see the import image capability but that requires a CSV that I don’t know what content is needed.
Thanks
@george1421 said in No Network Interfaces Found: Intel i225-lm Kernel:
you simply need to upgrade your FOS linux kernel to 5.15.x series. You do that from the web ui -> FOG Configuration -> Kernel update
Confirmed this fixed the problem. Solution is to perform the above steps @george1421 wrote.
I will try that. Thank you!
Re: Need new kernel for Intel I225-V network card
Hello. I seem to have run into a similar problem as in the thread below. In short, I have blank PC (i.e. has CPU, RAM, SSD, GPU, but no OS). I have included this PC as a host in the FOG Web Interface, and the tftp is able to talk to the host, but couldn’t initiate the OS deploy. I ended up with:
“No network interface found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver! Please check your network setup and try again!”
Based on the post below, what is the resolution? Is it to download the latest version of FOG, which I think I have, or something else?
Thanks,

@jack-mills Thank you. This is the solution.
In short, during the installation process, the installer will ask for server address with the default to ‘fogserver’. You will need to replace ‘fogserver’ with the IP address of your FOG server (i.e. the http://<FOG_ADDRESS>/fog/management).
If you’ve already installed FOG client, in order to change the ‘fogserver’ variable, you need to remove then reinstall FOG to get the window prompt asking for the server address.
I’m not sure how I missed that in my notes. Thanks again.
@sebastian-roth said in Installing Windows FOG Client (smartinstaller.exe) in a PC within a pfsense firewall:
By the way, I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with your pfSense unless client and FOG server are in separate subnets. Then of course you would need to allow port 80/443 (tcp) for fog-client communication.
@Sebastian-Roth thanks so much for your reply. I tried the latest SmartInstaller.exe you provided, and unfortunately same result. I also ensured that I’m using the same subnet for both pfsense and the FOG server (and the hosts).
Is there any other settings in FOG server (or host) that I should check?
Hello all,
Trying to install FOG client on a WinOS to trigger restart and deploy from FOG interface remotely. In short, I used the SmartInstaller.exe, and during the installation process’ “Pinning the FOG server”, the process stops and says “Unable to install CA certificate”.
What I tried next is to go to my FOG server (installed in Ubuntu 20) to regenerate the certificate and keys using the following commands:
./installfog.sh --recreate-CA --recreate-keys (or using the -C -K options)
Restarted the FOG server, attempted to install FOG client, and received the same error message.
Another thing to note is that the FOG server and the PC are located in a local network gated by a pfsense firewall, in which the pfsense is the DHCP server. I suspect, this may have caused this problem as I managed to install FOG client in a non pfsense firewalled network, and not sure what specifically need to be done both in pfsense and FOG web interfaces settings.
Finally, I’m able to deploy images to this device with the FOG server that I installed to this network. It’s just that I’m unable to install the FOG client.
Any advice? Thanks.
