The problem was the client version. (old version: 0.9.12)
I had to install the new one on each computer (0.11.9), then reboot each computer.
Then “reset encrypted data” on the group
Now it works fine.
I thought that once there was a new version on the server the client updated “alone”.

@wayne-workman i used " your packages line" and it seems to work.
Then now i have to test pxe boot, capture and deploy !!

THanks for your help

Hello, it seems that the problem came from the configuration left over on the workstation, which still contained snappins that were no longer needed and no longer applicable.

Hi, I’m looking for a solution to customize the default profile (Windows 10 and 11).
I don’t want to use the “sysprep + copyprofile” solution.
Profiletool seems to be out of development and neither does defprof.
And defprof doesn’t seem to create a “clean” profile, as we have a lot of problems with startup times once defprof has been applied.
So if you have a miracle solution for this kind of task, I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks in advance for your help.

@need2 now i agree with you : if you accept that mysql root has no password
and if you know that if installer told you to go to http://192.168.39.243/fog it means you have to go to http://192.168.39.243/html/fog.
I know it’s a ridiculous bug of the default installer (without parameters) but it disturbed me

any way fog seems to be a great program, the forum is very reactif and it permit me to go on
Then thanks again for your help i appreciate
sorry for my poor english
@Tom Elliot : i will try with --docroot to tell you if it works.
But can you confirm me that the installer without parameters make a mistake between http://192.168.39.243/fog and http://192.168.39.243/html/fog to be sur we are agree ?

Thanks again for your help everybody !!

Hello,
in first thank a lot for your answer.
For my test i’m going to work with a virtual machine with only one interface, then forget the “3 networks”
I begin by installing fog like that :
(i use my own dhcp server)

Type d’installation : N
IP du serveur FOG : 192.168.39.243
Would you like to setup a router address for the DHCP server? : n
Would you like to setup a DNS address for the DHCP server and client boot image? : n
Would you like to change the default network interface from eth0? : n
Would you like to use the FOG server for DHCP service? n
This version of FOG has internationalization support, would you like to install the additional language packs? n

My own dhcp server is configured like that (it has 192.168.39.247 for ip address):
subnet 192.168.39.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.39.40 192.168.39.230;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.39.255;
option routers 192.168.39.254;
next-server 192.168.39.247;
filename “pxelinux.0”;
}
then next server is the dhcp server itself

Here is a part of the PXE configuration (on my own dhcp server. (The dhcp server act as dhcp, tftp and pxe server)

My question is how i could add entry for fog server using ipxe while i’m iusing pxe (pxelinux.0)
Thanks again for your help

Hello, i think i’ve got the same problem except i made modification on the web interface :
i didnt want the “images” directory be at the root (/images)
then i copy the images directory into /home/images.

Then i modify the image path on the web interface, i thought it would modify the export file also but it seems not.

then i had to modify manualy the export file. Now it works fine.
Could it be the problem ?

@Jbob Hello
In first sorry for this long delay
I just made the test today with the latest client. Everything seems to work fine !!

@plegrand said:

It’s not our dns servers

You don’t have to use them. You can make your own and direct all hosts to use yours.

I install dynamique DNS with bind and it works fine. Thanks again

@Wayne-Workman
I just made the test unicast (deploy and not multicast)
It’s a room with 12 stations.
2 stations failed
10 works fine (1.6 GB/min)
i’ll tell you more tomorrow

Boot PXE OK
Capture OK
Deploy OK

Hello,
is it reasonable to consider updating Debian bullseye(11) => bookworm(12)
Is Fog supposed to work correctly after this update?
PHP, among other things, is upgraded to version 8

Thanks for your answers

@Sebastian-Roth May be i could give you access to this machine if it’s usefull ?

@george1421
It seems yes

@george1421
Hello
i made some tests with these informations :
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=IPXE#rom-o-matic.eu
the keymap is quite correct ( i cant use “{” “}” for example)
http://forum.ipxe.org/printthread.php?tid=7554
but the procedure is OK
Thanks for your help

i dont know how to solve the thread

@sebastian-roth
I completed the upgrade without any major problems.
I had to reinstall some php packages that had been removed during the upgrade
(the comparison between the packages installed on the old version and the new one allowed me to reinstall them easily)

I also had to re-run installfog.sh because I had the same problem as here:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15254/503-service-unavailable-after-debian-upgrade.

Also, unrelated to fog, I had to review the configuration of mariadb and more particularly the authentication mode of the “root@localhost” user.
Indeed the user “root@localhost” was still using authentication with a password, but the new method is to use auth_socket :

+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Host | User | plugin | authentication_string |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root | mysql_native_password | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |

+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Host | User | plugin | authentication_string |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root | unix_socket |

this is all I can say

@Quazz
thanks

The 6450 has all his ports 10/100/1000
not the 6250 only the uplink ports are on 1000
