[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26351, member: 7271”]Sounds to me, more, like you were NOT searching in Host Management, but rather searching in Task Management.[/quote]

Ups, right. But should the search in Task Management work like this? The logic is, I think, that the search in Task Management searches for hosts rather than searching for inactive (old) tasks? Showing old tasks makes no sence, or?

But this is perhaps a result of some users way of starting a task. I always do it from the Task Management. By the way, did the search function work like this in 0.32? I have always searched for the host this way and then hit the upload/deplay button.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26350, member: 7271”]The image type for the Windows XP is Multi-part, single disk? Granted there’s only one partition on XP, but the TYPE for the image is what I need.

Are both the Windows XP and Windows 7 of the same Imaging Type (Multi-partition, Single Disk?)[/quote]

The Win XP is Single Partition (NTFS Only, Resizable) and Win 7 is Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)

I search for a hosts in Host Management. A host is displayed several times. Identical info except different start time. There are no active tasks.

If I hit on the Download icon nothing happens.

I have done some more tests. I have now installed the latest svn release. Uploading and downloading (deploy) a Win XP (Single disk, single partition) works OK.

Doing an upload from Win 7 (single disk, multi partitions) seems to work as there are no errors on the client. In the /image folder on server no files exists and FOG gui says the image is 0.00 GB on server and 68.8 on client.

In the /image folder there is a folder named as the MAC adress on the client. It contains d1.mbr, d1p1.img and d1p2.img

Running CentOS 5.10

I have switched to use svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk when installing a new release. This works as expected. Downloading and installing [url]http://mastacontrola.com/fog_0.33b.tar.bz2[/url] is a source of several problems: a) it appears not to by in sync with the svn release. Just downloaded/installed and the columns sort was still there. It did not ask for database schema update as the svn version did so I think this is an older version.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26330, member: 7271”]While I strive to help out with the best, I can also completely stop providing the tar.bz2 if it’s that irritating.[/quote]

sorry, it was never my intention to criticize you or your work. Forget about the folder structure. But do I need to remove old files before I run an update? As explained the GUI was not up to date during an ordinary update (./install.sh) I had to remove the fog folder in /var/www/html/ and then run the install script.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 26326, member: 3582”]That’s not a bug that’s called folder structure. That’s the folder that was built into a zipped file.
If you want it to extract the way it is suppose to ( /fog_0.33b) use the svn.[/quote]

Well, I am aware of this. It is not a bug, but a little annoying anyway. I can live with it

Yes, the package found on your site. There is another “bug” as the archive is unzipt as opt/fog

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 26307, member: 21583”]the “bz image” has nothing to do with the GUI. to update the web interface of fog, you need to rerun the installer, which will perform an upgrade if you have an existing install.[/quote]

I refer to the bz2 archive file package containing the whole FOG.

This javascript/jquery code makes nice tables: [url]http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-pager-filtered.html[/url]

Hope someone can implement this kind of feature in all lists. Would make the user interface a joy to use.

[quote=“pmonstad, post: 26279, member: 17422”]I get an error when deploying. Unable to locate image store. The client then restarts. I have successfully uploaded an image and the hosts are configured to use the correct image. The image is Win 7 Multiple partitions - single disk.[/quote]

It seems to be a problem with the upload? in /images I olny find one file: t61, while my guess is this should be a folder containing two files, one for each partition? (win 7).

How can I trouble shoot this one? No errors during the upload (as I am aware of).

[quote=“pmonstad, post: 26289, member: 17422”]But there is sign of pagination when editing a storage group!! Seems odd. In the bottom of the screen.[/quote]

Found the pagination when I reinstalled after deleting the web folder. The pagination works only when I list all hosts, not when searching. I still think the use of some jquery plugin could to this even better, but it is perhaps something to implement at a later stage?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26271, member: 7271”]When you go into mysql you need to specify the database you want to use.
[code]mysql -u root -p’<YOURPASSWORDHERE>’ -h<FOGIPADDRESS> <DATABASE_NAME>[/code]

If you signed into the mysql command line with:
[code]mysql -u root -p’<YOURPASSWORDHERE>'[/code]

You can use a couple methods to update the related DB.
First method, use the specified database:
[code]use fog;
update hosts set hostImage=‘1’;[/code]
Or you can specify the database right on the line:
[code]update fog.hosts set hostImage=‘1’;[/code][/quote]

Thanks!

I really miss a trash bin or delete button somewhere in the host list. It is possible to select hosts, only to put the selected into a group. I would love to have the possibility to delete the selected hosts as well.

Making it as the delete function in the Task Management is a wish. Really simple and fast to delete. Should not be necesarry with any confirm question as deleting a host is not critical, though a little time consuming.

I had to delete /var/www/html/fog I thought it replaced all files when installing?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26284, member: 7271”]What?

In the FOG GUI, when You go to list a hosts, it will display with the header. The Header items at the top of the page become hands when you hover over them. When you click on them, they sort the data. I’ve also added pagination to the system. If the number of elements is greater than 10, it will give a display of elements. To go from page to page. I have to figure out how to do this for the return of the search data.[/quote]

Strange, I have just downloaded/installed bz file again and still no sorting. Reminds me about the inclusion of the release number somewhere in the GUI

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26277, member: 7271”]This is correct. If you’re having issues with image uploads, the only place to worry about is the Storage Management Page->All Storage Nodes-><YOUR STORAGE NODE>->Management Username and Passowrd. These should be set to the fog user’s information on the FOG Server’s linux user data.[/quote]

I know this is a very common source of frustration among FOG users. Could it be an idea to have this explained somewhere on screen after installation/upgrade?

1. Set the fog user password in GUI
2. Change unix fog user password (passwd fog in linux terminal)
3. Set password (same as point 2) in Storage Management
4. Set ftp password (same as point 2 and 3) in FOG settings

I guess some frustration is solved with such a reminder.

Hm, I cant fint the functionality. I downloaded and installed a FOG bz image several hours after I read about the feature. Is the bz image too old?
