let me know if this helps or if you’d like anything else

using different bzImage from 2024 resolved this issue for me.

thanks again @RAThomas for the suggestion, this topic can be marked as resolved.

can confirm that up-to-date FOG works fine with this model.

@pilipp_edv
re-ran the current stable installer to get the current bzImage and init.xz again and now this is the error when trying to deploy

@RAThomas thanks for the hint, switching to bzimage from fog 1.5.9 did not fix this issue however. still fails with the same error.

Hi all,
we use FOG to deploy a custom thinclient operating system to hardware made by Igel.
One of the models we use has an integrated sd card reader where the only storage resides.
Before the last FOG update, we did not encounter any issues.
Since updating to 1.5.10.1673 however, we get the following message:

mmc0: mmc_select_hs400 failed, error -110
mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card

followed by the “An error has been detected!” - message stating

Init Version: 20250731
Could not determine a suitable disk automatically.

Updating from stable to dev branch did not bump the version number in the fog webinterface and has not resolved this issue.
Any hints on how to resolve this without downgrading? Seems to be an issue with the order in which the linux kernel handles sd cards.
Using the latest init.xz and bzImage from https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases did not help either

After recompiling the ipxe binaries with SSL and testing a few more debugging options, it seems that this nic is just completely broken in this laptop. Will need to wait for lenovo or realtek to update their firmware. recompiling snponly.efi didn’t help either.

could not disconnect Simple Network Protocol Driver: Error 0x7f3e080e
not supported by driver "PCI": Error 0x7f2f2083

@george1421 hi george, thanks for the reply.
Nothing happens after boot.php is called. Regardless of the used binaries, the process eventually just hangs indefinitely. HTTPS is working correctly server-side and all our existing inventory can use it properly with the default binaries (the ipxe.efi that FOG compiled during the upgrade/installation), however, I need to admit that I did not compile the new binaries from github with explicit HTTPS support. When installing or updating FOG, their script handles that part for you. Will test with HTTPS disabled for the node. If that works, I’ll recompile the binaries.

Hi,
we’re currently testing FOG with Lenovo Thinkpad L14 Gen5 AMD laptops. Those have RTL8111EPV nics from realtek.
FOG is up to date (version 1.5.10.1655) and works perfectly fine with all other machines in our arsenal.
Attempting to pxe boot, the client gets stuck at “initialising devices” with all .efi files except realtek.efi, where it gets stuck while accessing the boot.php file
I have so far recompiled the ipxe binaries (https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/kb/reference/compile_ipxe_binaries/#manual-compilation) with the same result. Compiling realtek.efi with DEBUGGING=realtek gets me this: . Any help would be much appreciated and if more information is needed, just ask.

fixed it by installing gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu on ubuntu and running the script again. compilation errors are not logged to the script shown on screen, but to the bin/error_logs/ directory in the extracted archive.
Update now ran without issues.

trying to update fog from 1.5.10 on ubuntu 22.04 to 1.5.10.1639 after upgrading ubuntu to 24.04.
The fog update fails when compiling the ipxe binaries:

* Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.

* Update fogstorage database password.........................OK
* Granting access to fogstorage database user.................Skipped
* Setting up storage..........................................OK

fog web interface reports version 1.5.10.1639 now.
Server has 4 Cores and 8GB of RAM. Disk space is over 300GB free.

After the first attempt to update failed, I restored the database from backups and tried again with the same result.

@AUTH-IT-Center the hostname changer is enabled, yes. The hosts are created via full registration and inventory. Using the group-based workaround provided by @Tom-Elliott works so far.

I think there are two problems here, the fog client detects the lightdm linux user and stops and the settings don’t get applied to clients from FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Active Directory defaults.

Note that we don’t join the clients to our domain, we only change their hostname.

@Tom-Elliott but why is it not enforced despite that setting being enabled?

@Tom-Elliott thanks for the reply, but there is no “FOG_ENFORCE_HOST_CHANGES” in FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings, only “ENFORCE HOST CHANGES” under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Active Directory Defaults and that one is already ticked.
Either that or I’m just blind.

We use FOG to deploy linux machines. After the image has been deployed, the FOG Service needs to change the hostname.
This works perfectly fine on windows, on linux the lightdm user gets detected:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------UserTracker---------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 04.10.2024 13:17:29 Client-Info Client Version: 0.13.0
 04.10.2024 13:17:29 Client-Info Client OS:      Linux
 04.10.2024 13:17:29 Client-Info Server Version: 1.5.10

this causes the hostname changer module to not change the hostname:

In “FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Active Directory Defaults” the checkmark is set by “ENFORCE HOST CHANGES”.

In “FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Client - Task Reboot” the checkmarks are set by “Client Taskreboot enabled” and “Task Force Reboot”.

Going to “Hosts -> <Host> -> Active Directory” and enabling “Name Change/AD Join Forced reboot?” fixes the issue, but I don’t know how to force this for all hosts by default, especially including new hosts.

@Bhav Do you use FOG for DHCP and if not, did you follow the documentation when setting up your DHCP Servers?
IIRC you need to point your DHCP server to bios and uefi bootfiles respectively.

Hi all, FOG has been wonderful in its usefulness at our main location, so we decided to establish nodes in other locations as well.
Following the documentation, I created new ubuntu servers, ran the installer, selected storage node and added them to the webinterface of the main fog server.
Then I created storage groups, added the respective nodes to their group and checked “master node”.
After that, I went to “images” and added the new storage groups to the images that I want to have synced, created a cron job on the main server to schedule when syncing is supposed to happen and waited for some of the images to be sent to the new nodes.
After that, I configured the windows DHCP servers in the other locations to point to the main FOG server.

From what I understand, new clients booting PXE in the other locations will be directed to the main FOG server, but what I can’t seem to find exact information on is how the deployment of images to new clients will be handled.
When a new client boots PXE from one of the seperate locations, receives the bootfile from the main FOG server and a technician selects “perform full registration and inventory”, then how does FOG decide which server will send the image? Will the new storage node be used automatically, or will FOG send the image from the main server in our main location?
I understand that captures will always go to the master of their main storage group, but what about deployments?
