I did update the fog server to the latest version and still the same issue. I am not sure where to go. Virtualbox has the extension installed and vm workstation should work.

I did do this from broadcom

https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/discussion/disabling-hyper-v-hypervisor-on-windows-11-pro-host-to-get-vmware-17s-cpl0-vs-ulm-monitor-mode

I did update to the latest kernal to see if that was an issue and still no change.

I have tried with virtualbox and same issue. I do get further …it says downloading nbp file but nothing happens. I have it on bridged mode too.

@Fog_Newb

yes. I have tried bios to uefi and bios. I still do not get anything. UEFI it does not even look like it goes out. Bios I get a boot file missing.

I swear 24h2 I did not have to change anything. I lost that image though. I might redo it to see .

Bios boot order is changed correctly.

I can ping the fog server from my host machine. I have tried all the options and nothing has worked.

I can confirm nothing has changed on the fog server. I can take a laptop and connect and pxe boot and it works with no issues. I currently have windows 11 running with uefi. I have no tpm set and can switch it to boot to regular bios , if needed.

I boot it up with bios or uefi and it does nothing. It goes to look for it and times out. I was on vm workstation 16 and this did work at one time but my pc died and I had to recreate all images.

I am not sure what to look for since the physical laptop I can get to the fog server and push and image.

I did reboot the server many times. I ran an ubuntu update with no issues. I am not sure what is going on. It appears to image file fine and partclone is done but it never updates the database.

I did use ftp and able to connect to the image folder with no issues. I am not sure how to see if database is actually running. I really need to get this working as I made several updates on the image

I am running this in a VM workstation and never had any issues until today. I am not sure which logs to go after as I never seen this type of issue.

i have resolved this issue. I am not sure but when i was looking into ubuntu it did not update the images correctly. I moved them again and this time it was working correctly

i used FTP software , filezilla , to see the files where not on the ubuntu server but the gui was saying it was there .

I have a fog server that is on a desktop and works great. I been trying to get it to work from a VM that way I have less issues when i upgrade.

I have the fog server working the the VM and able to get to the pxe menu. When i go to deploy image it states unable to locate image store. I have no hosts on this machine at all. I am going to call this FOG VM.

The Fog Desktop i went in and copied the images from image folder and move them to FOG VM and uploaded the file that i exported from the GUI .

i can boot up to the pxe menu and it connects to the FOG VM pxe menu. When i deploy the image i get the error unable to locate image store. I did look at the other messages on screen and it is pointing to the correct folder and ip address of the FOG VM server.

I am not sure where to check next. If it gets the pxe menu then the FOG VM is working.

the only difference between FOG VM and fog desktop is

FOG VM - on dev branch version
fog desktop - on master branch

well i finally solved the issue. I switched to the dev-branch version. Then i install fog again with same exact settings. It complained about not having an ip address. I run service isc-dhcp-server status and it showed it was working.

this time in the dev branch i browsed to the dhcp folder and found it created the dhcp server file this time from fog.

i set my vm to bridge and then booted my other computer and it worked.

if i want a VM to connect I have to change my VM to Nat and not bridged.

i finally found the issue but not sure how to fix it. I ran the setup again in the vm and finally go the error setting up and starting dhcp server - no router address found - no dns address found.

I am not sure how to fix that. i know the last install i did i never had to put in an ip address for the router since i used the built in

i am wondering how do i check if dhcp is running. i did say in the install I wanted the fog server to handle dhcp. I want to make sure that service is running

@sebastian-roth it is a private network. I have a dummy switch that it goes through. I shut off my wireless card when i try to image. It is the same as my other fog server but it is on a pc.

i thought i would put it in a VM and then just shut off my wireless when i am ready to image .

Firewall is off. I double checked it to be sure.

i checked on the host …windows 10 and then in ubuntu. Firewall is off. I will be putting this on a stand alone computer with just a dummy switch.

I have the latest VM workstation 16 and i have loaded ubuntu 20 tls with fog server. The VM has a network card that is 192.168.1.40. I have it bridged to the network. I do have wireless also on to my network.

how do i take a client and boot and reach the fog server in the VM ?

i boot and it never gets to the dhcp server.

i can not ping the workstation from outside the VM. i am using the host computer where vm workstation is installed and can not ping the fog server - .40

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. This is the first time i have tried to run a fog server in a VM and try to image that way .

@scott-b yes it is . Windows 20h2 . I finally got it resolved by the moderator. I had to go into my image and delete the recovery drive. Then it acted correctly.

Just wanted to put that out there if someone else had the same issue

i have hp probook 400 that it images fine but the hard drive does not expand. I am running uefi . This has worked fine on other computers. what information do you need from me ?

It just shows the other space as unallocated

i did have to update to newest kernal for me to image the computer because of the network driver.

i am not sure why i can not upload a 1.7 mb jpg. I tried as a picture and as a file.

it just shows the

healthy partition
C drive boot partition
recovery partition
and a forth one that is unallocated 178 gigs

the hard drive in the computer is

wdc pc sn730 sdbpnty-256g-1006

nvme drive

well i could not get it working so i took another stand alone server that i had and use true image to get a copy of the computer. I restored it on a computer and get the error no dhcp or proxy dhcp offers were received.

what can i do ?

I am sorry it was existing fog server and i just ran the install script to update to newest version. Then something went horribly wrong. I am not sure what happen. I do not want to lose the settings. I tried to rerun install.sh and it had an issue with database password.

I can not get past that …it was having an issue originally backing up the database and it froze on that part for hours. I close out of terminal and started again.

i was doing a fog install and had issue with the database password. I am not sure what is going on.

@mmoore5553 @george1421 nevermind it imaged fine the 2nd time around. It just took 7 minutes. Is there a way to get around that or faster ?
