@Oleg I lost track of this but stumbled upon it just now. Thinking some more about it I find that we should not try to fix this within the FOG installer. We have done so many times and it just makes it a nightmare to keep up to date with the different OS requirements and specifics…

So you might follow the steps Tom outlined some time ago - maybe you already did. If you need more detailed information on that, then let us know.

@Oleg I hope you can read patch/diff information. Here are the changes you need to make to /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/hostmanagementpage.class.php to add the “System Product” column to the host list output - this is for FOG 1.5.9 and would probably work in 1.5.8 just as well:

I suggest you keep a copy of this information somewhere so you can apply the changes whenever you update to a new version of FOG.

I don’t know if it has to do something with the timeout issue but in /etc/default/grub I added

We don’t use GRUB for PXE booting hosts usually! Seems like you have customized your setup a fair bit. I may ask you to tell us more about the customization to we are able to properly help you!

I changed manually the kernels in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ to the 4.15.2 Kernel.
With the older kernel the issue with the timeout is gone.

That’s interesting. So it seems like a Linux kernel network driver issue from what we know so far. Let’s start by trying to find out what driver is used. Please boot Windows on that machine, open device management and get us the device ID from there. Usually in the form 12c4:5f78.

Bug solved in latest SVN, I had that bug before.

@Wayne-Workman Tom posted a hot fix (i.e. you fix-it) for RC-2 here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8172/if-email-when-complete-is-enabled-the-database-is-unable-to-clear-the-task/2

no it’s not an issue right now. For me the path looks strange with the double slash and I was not able to figure out why it’s always like this after upgrading the trunk.
So then the thread can be closed. Thanks

@Oleg said:

ok. That means we need to wait now until it’s solved in partclone.

Yes. As soon as there is a new partclone version out (please inform us if you hear about it first) Tom can include it into the init’s and hopefully we should be fine then. But I don’t know when that will be.

Perfect now! Installer and configs are all correct. From my side the problem is solved. Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott
I have to correct - sometimes it works and sometimes not. So it’s stilll not working. Will wait and test.

As we are not able to see what else is in your network it is very hard to guess what’s going on. But I can offer to look at a packet dump and hopefully we can find out what’s causing the issue.

Please turn off all your clients for that. Install tcpdump on your FOG server and start it up as root tcpdump -i eth0 -w bootup.pcap (change eth0 if you use a different network interface on this server). Leave tcpdump sitting there and start up one of your clients. After it “failed” you can stop tcpdmp with Ctrl+c and upload the PCAP file to the forum.

Please also take a picture or even better video of the booting client so we can see what you see as well.

This way we might be able to help. Everything else is just blind guessing.

I restarted the installer several times - the only file, which could not be downloaded was the “FOGService.msi” maybe because I’m downloading behind a proxy. But because I’m cloning ubuntu machines I think I don’t need this file. Otherwise the installer said I can download it with:
wget -O /var/www/html/fog/client/FOGService.msi https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.9.4/FOGService.msi.

The other files like “bzimage,bzimage_32,init.xz,init_32.xz” were downloaded properly.
Still the same Problem. I’m not sure but i think the problem is in the upgraded php5 packeges - if they are upgraded then some of the dependencies to the packages like libonig2 break. I’m not really good in linux and can’t manage it to repair the dependencies.
Did someone have the same problems? Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS --> apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade.
Thanks

I am often finding and fixing bugs, tweaking things…etc…

Some things I find out immediately, some things I find out much later.

Hopefully all is now well and good in 3682, but today was a bad, but good day.

First, I found and added MANY needed performance improvements. It was this understanding of the methods that kind of broke the last few revisions, as unintentional as they were. All appears to have stabilized and hopefully you all will see the huge improvements.

There are some things lost, for now, such as Group->Membership->change individual host images.

This, to me, feel much better though, and things are FAR better than they ever where, I think. Now, not only do we have speedy inits, but we have speedy GUI as well. Most probably never noticed the delays, but some felt them in full force. Now that I think there’s a bit of a better handle on things, I think we will all be happier.

@Oleg not a problem.

It’s off by default because it’s really an unimportant figure, with being able to see your space utilization on the dashboard and all.

Hi,

Not sure in 1.2, but in SVN version you can specify the default boot via FOG Configuration > iPXE Menu Customization

Regards,
Ch3i.

perfect, that’s what I was searching for.
I will give it a try.
