@PageTown When I try to do sudo -i, it tells me “command not found”.

Ok, I solved the internet connection issue and replaced svn with subversion. Looks like something is happening now. Thanks!

I tried running each of the two commands as separate lines. Here’s what I got when I tried to do sudo apt-get install svn. I’m not sure what it means by “E: Unable to locate package svn”. Did it install or no?

Attempting to upgrade, I just got a ton messages running sudo apt-get update && apt-get install svn like “Err …”, “Something Wicked happening resolving…”, and “W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu…”

Upgrading won’t mess up my current images or anything?

I uploaded a Windows 10 image this morning using Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to push that image out to a new host, I get into a loop. I register the host, tell it to image the host, everything appears fine and then the host shuts down and boots into the Fog menu again. I’ll select Quick Image, it acts like it’s going to start imaging and then shuts down and boots into the Fog menu again.

Any ideas?

@Sebastian-Roth Ours was quite a few firmware updates behind and we weren’t able to jump from our current strait to the newest, but stepping up just one version solved it.

@fry_p We updated the firmware on our Cisco switch and I was able to push out images again! Thanks for chiming in about your experience, this could’ve stretched out for a long time!

@fry_p That is EXACTLY what we have. I am trying to test this theory using a little Linksys router to handle DHCP, but I am unable to get my host machine to PXE boot. I have changed the settings in the router and set up a matching connection on the Fog server, but so far no luck. Any ideas?

@Sebastian-Roth Here’s what I get after running la -lahRt /images now:

@Wayne-Workman No. My path should be /images now.

I did a HDD wipe and re-install of Ubuntu 12.04 and Fog 1.2.0. I was able to upload an image without any issues, but when I try to push that image to a machine I am still getting hung up on the Mounting thing.

Before I start the troubleshooting process again, I wanted to mention that I am running Fog over a Server 2012 network. Fog is not handling the DHCP. On the server I have 066 Boot Server Host Name & 067 Bootfile Name configured to allow undionly.kpxe and Fog to boot over the network. Could something in the server setup be causing this issue?

@Wayne-Workman

It wouldn’t take ‘touch /media/BFD_/images/dev/.mntcheck’. It said that the location didn’t exist which makes me think that something has happened to all my images.

I have decided to wipe my server and start from scratch. Thanks for the help.

@Wayne-Workman Here’s what I am seeing when I run that command:

@Wayne-Workman

I think something else may be wrong. When I went to my /images folder at media/BFD_/images to check for the mtn files, nothing is in it besides the text file I created in the first step of the troubleshooting guide. I had three images before, and it shows that I have three images in the UI. Shouldn’t I be seeing my images in that folder? And the /dev folder isn’t there either. Are they hidden or something?

@Wayne-Workman

My etc/exports file is already configured for that location.

@Wayne-Workman So I am unmounting my current directory, which is /media/BFD_/images and mounting these test directories to the same place?

@Wayne-Workman Doing that won’t overwrite my pre-exisiting directories? I don’t want to lose the images I already have stored there.

@Sebastian-Roth I have been trying to work through the “Using a Fog debug deployment for testing (easy & quick way)” section of the NFS trouble shooting guide and I need some clarification on a few of the initial steps.

It says to select the problematic client from my Hosts list in the web UI, choose Basic Tasks, Download and Create a debug task. The screen shot in the article doesn’t look like my UI, I have no option to schedule task as a debug task AND Schedule Instant Deployment on that screen. I did go into Hosts -> Advanced -> Debug and created a debug task. I assume this is the same thing? Do I need to schedule a Download task also?

So I started up my Host and got this, I assume this is the command prompt mentioned in the article immediately after the section on creating the debug task?

The next part says to create two directories to mount to: mkdir /images and mkdir /images/dev . I already have both of those directories on my Fog server though, so am I creating these again?
