Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.5-RC-2
• OS: centos-7

Description

Manually creating new host in the Host management, directing me to an unknown page.
I didnt see a fix mentioning about this in the newer versions, so I didnt try to update to last git.

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.0-RC-10
• OS: CentOS 7

Client

• Service Version: not relevant
• OS: Linux/Windows
  I noticed that since updating to 1.3.0-RC-10, I cant capture any machine.
  The progress is stuck on the client, like this:
  

im trying to capture an image i already captured, just for testing, I left it all night and it didnt continued…
I also updated to the latest kernel: 4.7.3.
Im sure about the settings i set for the new image, since its the same as the image settings that already deployed to the machine.

any help?

@Wayne-Workman
Thank you Wayne and Tom for your replies.
I guess i didnt understand the idea of snapins, anyway, now I do.
Eventually, I solved the problem with creating a new path to the sanpins.

Regardless of this problem, I have another one now.

Should I post a new topic about this or wait here for help?

do you mean “who” is the owner of the folder?
this is how it looks like through winscp:

do u mean setting permission in /opt/fog/snapins to 777 ?
i did that too…didnt work

Hey,
First of all, thank you very much for this project!
finally a cloning solution that works, and really easy to manage. YOU ROCK!

Well, Im trying to add snap-in (just a test snap-in for now) of a batch file.
This snap-in will just open google chrome on the target workstations and nothing else.
When Im trying to add the snap-in i get an error “Failed to add snapin, unable to locate snapin directory.”
I searched to that online, and saw some comments says to update fog.
I just updated fog to 1.3-RC10 - didnt fixed it.

I saw about checking all the ftp credentials - did that, and still the same. (According to this link - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP#Credentials_.2F_Passwords).

I havent seen anything else online, so Im asking here for help.

tnx again,
Niv.

i looked for /opt/fog/.fogsettings and changed the password the for fog user to the password i set before the update.
After that, re-runed the installer - seems to fix the problem.

tnx
Niv

hey guys,

since i have update fog server to 1.3-RC10 im getting an error while capturing.
the task is looking fine but after finished it returnes this errors:

Updating Database…Failed
could not complete tasking (/bin/fog.upload)

I can see the image under a folder called /images/dev with the computer mac address, but not in the actual folder is supposed to be.

SVN Revision: 5955

tnx for helping
niv

well,
i tried another way and solved it.
installed grab4dos on the hard drive and set up a menu that will grab and boot thinstation.iso.
captured it as a linux image, and deployed with no problems!

@george1421
hey George

i installed the os using DOS partition, through computer management in winpe.
so the thing is that i need to install it with another way?
maybe can u guide me how to install thinstation using the “linux way” ?
a link will do just fine, i just dont really know what to search for this…

hey george,
tnx for the quick reply.

first of all ill answer question 4:
im trying to deploy compiled os.
i know that installing it on a local hard drive is not the best way to do it.
i already set up pxe boot for this image (with some help from fog project) , but i still want a backup plan, so the users can work if the tftp/httpd services will fail.

1. i cant tell the version cause its just saying “You are not running the most current version of FOG!”, at the web management, without telling me the current running version.
   i can tell the svn version which is 5892.
2. as i already told, the os is the the comnpiled thinstation.
   3.the partition style is MBR.
   the way i installed the os on hard drive until now:
   booted up a pc with winpe through usb device, and used this script through cmd (installing syslinux on the hard drive and copying the thinstation files to the correct location):

format c: /q /fs:NTFS /v:Thinstation
syslinux64.exe -i -f c:
md c:\boot
xcopy boot c:\boot /s
pause

no need for a screen shot here, its just a dos ‘like’ screen says “boot error”.

I hope i gave you enough information about whats going on here
regards,
niv.

edit!
i just want to say that using the old way with this script is working good, no problems at all, its just a slow and uncomfortable way to work, thats why i use fog.

hello
finally got fog on centos 7, captured and deployed some win 7 images, sucssessfuly.
we have some users who are using linux-based os, which i can capture, and deploy.
although, when i boot a pc after the deploy task is finished, i have a black screen says “boot error”.
i have tried a lot of combinations at the “image management” for this image.
i didnt try sector by sector image type, its just not a solution for me, cause it too slow.
the os im trying to deploy called “thinstation” (linux-based), which i insatlled on the hardrive with a script using syslinux.exe

any help?

regards,
niv.
