Coming back to confirm that the 11e image completed both up and down using the .efi extension.

Performed the following items in CentOS.

mv /images /home/

ln -s /home/images /images

Now the fog site is reporting correctly.

Thank you!

Coming back to confirm that the 11e image completed both up and down using the .efi extension.

I too have a Lenovo 11e and it is not successfully getting the boot menu with UEFI on.
Attempted the undionly.kkpxe also the realtek.pxe, same result.

…
Succeeded to download NBP file.

Curious if a solution was found? Did you need to replace your tftp/realtek.pxe?

Performed the following items in CentOS.

mv /images /home/

ln -s /home/images /images

Now the fog site is reporting correctly.

Thank you!

This is piggy-backing on the other post.

I’m not certain if it’s a problem accurately reading the drive size or if something else is getting in the way. Fog is showing the hardware accurately in the hardware screen.

I have a 525Gb drive on our vm as the only storage.

This is what fog is seeing on the dashboard, where the disk information is reading inaccurately and also not taking new images.

I’m pretty new to CentOS, here are some screens that I think might be helpful to those that know. (gleemed from that previous post)

Is /dev/mapper an issue? Or is it just listing the drive itself?



I’m not certain on my end as I’m inexperienced with Linux. I can produce anything you need though.
-Thanks.

@Tom Elliott: Yes, selinux was disabled and removed via:

sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/sysconfig/selinux
sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/selinux/config
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld

Thanks for the reply, the process isn’t being interrupted at this point. I’m not relying on WOL at the moment for my needs.

I followed this walk-through of CentOS 7 & Fog Trunk. (yes, I know beta…)
http://blog.ibuddy.info/index.php/2015/06/fog-v-1-3-on-centos-7-full-install-guide/

The deployment takes an image successfully and deploys successfully… but I’m constantly alerted upon initiating any job that “Cannot open UDP Socket: Permission denied”.

This shows up on every task requested on the fog site… and also shows up on the imaged machine as I’m trying to pull the image just after registering the system.

Any ideas on how to correct?

Just following up…

The CentOS7 install (from link on previous) seemed pretty straight-forward.
Only change was that I couldn’t rename eth0 from it’s preset ens32, but it’s working anyway.

It’s up and I’m pushing my Win7 image now.

Don’t mean to keep kicking this issue… but I’ve been burning my weekend hours trying to get this server up and running. (I’m not new to FOG, but Linux is my weakness)

I’ve just finished my 4th install of a minimal Ubuntu 12.0.4.5LTS
I’m getting stuck at the same point.

“* Checking package: apache2 … Failed!”

Attempted all solution offered through Google (page4)… none clear up the issue.

If CentOS is a better option… I’m all ears.
Frustration is mounting.

This piece of code did move the installation along…
apt-get clean
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

but now the deployment is only offering a “Download” (which appears to be a html/php doc) when I access http://(ip)/fog/management.

please close this thread… I’ll be attempting CentOS via:

Thanks everyone for the quick comments.

@Wayne-Workman
Thanks for the idea to move to Trunk… but as it stands I’m looking for more of my old .32 standby of (set it and forget it) type of deployment.

I had attempted that same FTP password set as described in https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5484/fog-1-2-0-ubuntu-14-04-initial-image-upload-successful-can-t-find-image-file-on-deployment

But maybe I have bigger issues, because that didn’t clear up the issue.

I think the move to CentOS is probably a good option, but for whatever reason Ubuntu has been my choice (loyalty?) since getting my feet wet with Linux.

Can I get a suggestion of which combo of (Ubuntu & FOG 1.2.0) would work out of the box? I think 12.04 seemed stable… but did it have the TFTP issue of needed restarted after reboot?

I need to jump into the UEFI option as I’m seeing more Win8.x and inevitably Win10 around the corner.

EDIT
Looks like a How-To was created with 10.04LTS… maybe that’s a good place to start.
