I didn’t put in my DHCP server IP. I put in the actual fog server IP. I do not know if that was the correct thing to do, but everything is running now.

I really just followed this guide to setting up DNSMasq.

[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE’][I][SIZE=12px]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.ph...with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE[/SIZE][/I][/URL]

I didn’t do step 7 or 8 on the guide. Instead, I jumped down to the section “DNSMASQ settings for IPXE” and continued from there.

To be able to edit and create files, I used “sudo gksu nautilus.” I used gedit (text editor) to create the ltsp.conf file and saved it to my desktop. Then using “sudo gksu nautilus” in terminal allowed me to move the ltsp.conf from my Desktop to /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf. Make sure to edit ltsp.conf for your setup. For example:

The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address

dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,[B]x.x.x.x[/B]

Change the [B]x.x.x.x[/B] to your fog server IP address.

I also changed the IP address in this section to point to my fog server.

This range(s) is for the public interface, where dnsmasq functions

as a proxy DHCP server providing boot information but no IP leases.

Any ip in the subnet will do, so you may just put your server NIC ip here.

Since dnsmasq is not providing true DHCP services, you do not want it

handing out IP addresses. Just put your servers IP address for the interface

that is connected to the network on which the FOG clients exist.

If this setting is incorrect, the dnsmasq may not start, rendering

your proxyDHCP ineffective.

dhcp-range=[B]10.0.0.10[/B],proxy

I hope that helps you.

This did it!!! Finally, thank you so much. :):D Now that it boots Fog every time, I can learn how to actually use it instead of installing it. Thank you so much.

Wouldn’t the kernels be up to date with the newest fog (1.2)? Or is that something that has to be done manually?

I get an error. 3c092003

We have 3 different clients. The HP Pavilion a1610n, HP Pavilion P6-2011, and Lenovo Ideacentre K33B.

A new update: I tried the same thing with a laptop and have the same issue.

As an experiment, I tried to chain load the virtual Ubuntu 13.10 with fog 1.2. The reasoning is because the old pxelinux.0 worked on the old test vm, but not the undionly.kpxe on fog 1.2. As a result, I can get it to boot the fog menu every couple of times, but not consistently. I am attaching a picture to show what it does. If it does boot to fog, it will configure real fast and boot. Otherwise, it does like the picture shows and goes to “press a key to reboot” after a few seconds.

I did not think about that. Should I try virtualbox or something else?

Just out of curiosity, I have Fog server configured with “Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network” with “Replicate physical network connection state” checked. I currently have Fog with a separate IP address as the physical machine. Should they have the same IP or should it be separated like I have them.

Well, if it’s not dhcp, then what could it be?

I can give this a try later today.

Um, I don’t really do much with the DHCP, my boss handles most of that. It’s on Windows Server 2008 R2. I just know the IPv4 scope options 66 and 67 are set like they should be. Is that what you were needing?

So, I took your suggestion and install ubuntu 12.04 server on vmware player and installed fog. I am still not able to get the client to boot from pxe boot. Any suggestions?

That sounds like a win. I will try the server and reinstall fog 1.2 on it. If I have the same issues, I guess I will just continue this thread.

Hmmm, I guess I will check google to see if there is a way to make sure the firewall is off. I don’t even know if it is on or not.

I might try the server install later. I rather get the desktop version working though.

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 LTS desktop on vmware player. I am new to linux, so I decided to try to ease into it with a desktop version over straight command line with the server.

2 Intellinet switches. Our DHCP server is connected to the main intellinet switch. Our DHCP and DNS are on the same server.

I get a page that looks to have the setup for the fog menu. I can post what it says if you want.

I ran the command “sudo ./installfog.sh” After install and updating the schema, I logged into the fog web interface with no issue. Then I restarted the vm and logged back in as the user that installed fog. This user account that I log in is not root or the fog user account created from fog installer. It’s a standard account that was created when I installed ubuntu. Does that answer your question?

Default.ipxe does exist. The ip address is correct. I don’t know about the rest.

chain [url]http://172.16.1.85/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params[/url]

Yes, I can login through the web gui with no issues at all. I can create users, view and change settings. Everything.

Yes. It tried to load a lot of pxelinux.cfg files, but couldn’t find any.

Here is a photo of what comes up :

Hi All,

Total noob here trying to install and run Fog. I have ran into some issues though. We have fog installed and running underneath a user account. The server is up and running with no issue, but we cannot get any of our computers on campus to load undionly.kpxe or any other boot file.

I am running Ubuntu 13.10 on vmware with fog 1.2.0. I have tried fog 1.1.1 and fog 1.1.2, but had the same issue.The test vm from 2009 does work though, but we don’t want to be running on old outdated test server.

On DHCP, we have port 66 with the correct IP address and port 67 with undionly.kpxe.

I have tried ipxe.kkpxe, ipxe.kpxe, ipxe.pxe, pxelinux.0.old (won’t work because of no configuration file), undionly.kkpxe, undionly.kpxe, unionly.kpxe.INTEL, undionly.pxe. The pxe and ipxe and Undionly.kpxe starts configuring to eth0 but goes to “press a key to reboot.” Undionly.kkpxe comes up with error 3c092003.

I have tried most of the suggestions at [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issue.10528/[/url] with no avail. I was able to get the fog menu once with [URL=‘https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw’][I]https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw[/I][/URL][I]. [/I]And that was after like 10 retries. And I haven’t seen it since.

The test client is an old HP Pavilion a1610n with Nvidia nforce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. We have other clients, Lenovo and HP, but none of them will boot either.

Like I said earlier, I am a noob and I have no idea what could be wrong here. Any help would be appreciative. Maybe I am missing something that is apparent to everyone else, but I have tried for over a week to try to get this fog server up and running correctly. I would love to get Fog up and running.
