FOG 1.5.9

I click the checkbox to “Delete files” then click “delete”.
Username and password prompt appears. I type the correct user/pass. It keeps appearing and never gets pass this.

Now I get the following.

I’m typing the correct password. I can connect from command line.

nothing in the log.

To improve the overall security the installer will create an
unpriviledged database user account for FOG’s database access.
Please provide the database root user password. Be asured
that this password will only be used while the FOG installer
is running and won’t be stored anywhere:

Unable to connect to the database using the given password!
Try again:
Failed! Terminating installer now.

It is running. I looked at the configureMySql function in functions.sh and im not sure why its failing. I’m assuming its in the first 20 lines of code but can’t pinpoint the issue.

We have deleted multiple images from command line and I still do not have free space. It makes no sense.

I have removed a few hundred gig and it still always says 0. I tried rebooting too.

Fog version 1.5.2
Ubuntu 18.04

We have removed a bunch of images however from cli du -h and df -h report 0 free space.
Is this a OS bug? I installed the os on a SSD then sym linked the old drives images folder to /images
FOr example,

/images -> /mnt/fogimages/images/

Any ideas?

It is fog version 1.5.2

4.17.0-addbnx

PC 64 Bit

Just recently flashed the bios on a hp5800.
Now when we try to boot fog we get the following errors:

ACPI bios error (Bug) excess arguments
acpi bios error (Bug ) failure creating
acpi error: method parse/execution failed!

How do we fix this?

@tom-elliott I did change the boot file to undionly.kpxe.
I’m pretty sure we needed to use a kitchen sink kernel for this machine in the past.
WHat happened to those kernels? can you provide any information about the tomelliott kernels?
Is there any documentation on what these kernels contain? are they all kitchen sink?

I will try updating the init_32.xz as suggested.

@Tom-Elliott Do you have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

@george1421 as recently state above I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and fog 1.5.2.
The errors above is what we get with this specific machine.

My point was this hardware set imaged without a problem using fog 0.32

To Note: we try every single kernel available in fog 1.5

Computer is HP DC5800.

We were able to image this machine with fog version 0.32

I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 and latest fog 1.5.x

We get the errors that are in the screenshot. I have tried ever kernel.
How do you fix this?

@tom-elliott
I have exact same problem. Brand new Ubuntu 18.04 install.

in the error log from fog install.

Some packages can not be installed. This can mean
that you asked for the impossible, or, if you use
the unstable distribution, that some packages have not yet
were created or did not come out of Incoming.
The following information should help you resolve the situation:

The following packages contain unmet dependencies:
libcurl3: Is in conflict with: libcurl4 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu3 will need to be installed
libcurl4: Is in conflict with: libcurl3 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu2 will need to be installed

It is ubuntu Linux. Linux tftp. 0.32 worked, 1.2.0 don’t.

Not sure why ipxe was included if everyone is having problems.

Some laptops/desktops work , some don’t. ALl worked with pxelinux.0

what is the solution developers?

fog 1.2.0

Dell E5510 ( I have tried other hardware as well)

If I use undionly.kpxe it shows iPxe 1.0.0+ and the laptop freezes

OPtion 067 im using undionly.kkpxe

I get as far as
configuring (net0 … ok /default.ipxe… Error 0x3d126001 ([url]http://ipxe.org/3d126001[/url])

The computer freezes.
I have tried this, It doesnt work either.

How can I make fog work?

Fog is a brick until this gets fixed.

Looking at [url]http://ipxe.org/download[/url]

Does fog have the 32-bit driver for efi in /tftboot ?
I have tried snp.efi and snponly.efi and ipxe.efi but I dont know if they are 64 or 36 bit.

We are getting there!

[SIZE=4][B]EFI[/B][/SIZE]

iPXE supports the EFI and UEFI environments, as well as the standard PC BIOS. You can build an EFI driver ROM using the .efirom image format. For example:
make bin-i386-efi/808610de.efirom # 32-bit driver ROM
make bin-x86_64-efi/808610de.efirom # 64-bit driver ROM

I changed the FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL to bzImage32 ( looks like you need a 32bit boot even though you can use 64bit os)
and tried every file as the bootfilename in dhcp from /tftpboot.

It says in the log for SVN 2262 improvements to uefi boot. Wonder which developer worked with the IPXE team on this.

WHich kernel should I be using that supports EUFI ?

I have just tried every file in /tftpboot in the 067 dhcp optiuon bootfile name. THe device downloads the file, says successful but just reboots after that.
