@Junkhacker And If I need to do it again and take each picture and then make sure they’re in order, I would be more than happy.
It’s a weird situation, I don’t even have two monitors (no spares here) and have to use an old TV/monitor in this little room where the server sits.

@Junkhacker No, I’m sorry they are not in the right order.

I did the debug w/image several times, but these were taken from the first try. And yes I did type FOG more than once, and then it would come back with ‘no active task’, as explained to me.

Sometimes I would have to hit Enter more than once to get it to move to the next step. I took the pictures each time I hit Enter as I recall.

@Sebastian-Roth I get it - not trying to be difficult. Just posted to GoodGuyQ in the thread.

Thank you

@GoodGuyQ
Believe me guys - I’m not trying to be difficult, I wasn’t sure how to get them posted.
I did go to Imgur and here’s the link:

I think this is an awesome product and I greatly appreciate everyone’s responsiveness and interest. Thank you very much.
This is really strange - it certainly seems like it should work.

Thanks again.

@Junkhacker
If they have been replaced or corrupted by images that don’t contain data is there a way to find the original image(s) that were used? Previous admin says all was well and working. I haven’t really touched it other than to try and image some clients.
I would share the screens but there are no error messages there - everything move right along except no partclone.

@Sebastian-Roth
OK - I have my photos of screens, but, they don’t show any errors.

Created download-debug task - deployed.
Client connected and did indeed run through its tasks, and I press enter when prompted. And then I get to the final prompt and type fog:
and it boots and starts over again.

Sorry not sure how to get screens into the reply. But again, no errors to report.

The one weird thing I did see was in my Image Management: I have three images one of them says:
Image on Client - 453.99GiB Image on Server - 33.96GiB
the other two say:
Image on Client - 0.0iB Image on Server - 17.95Gib

I thought that was odd but not sure.

@Sebastian-Roth
Understood, thank you.

@Junkhacker
I didn’t know I could do a image with dbug. I thought the task was either/or. I will try that now. Thank you.

@Junkhacker
Just checked: 1.2.0
After I created the task I boot the client. I see the pxe process, it connects to FOG server, I see things like.biz/img, etc. It moves quickly but it appears to set the MBR ,etc; I think the last thing it does is send inventory and everything says success.
Client then reboots into a FOG menu which gives me options and I’ve tried each of them: the memtest runs, quick image does nothing, compatability check says OK.
I tried not pre-registering and doing it that way: I see FOG registers it a its MAC and then I try again but the same thing, just rebooting to the short menu or cursor or no operating system.

@Junkhacker
I tried that and it says to type FOG at the prompt when it stops but FOG comes back with an error and says the system will reboot in 1 minute but it never does.
I’m sorry I’m not more knowledgeable at this point but I got no time with the previous admin, I’m the only guy and I take care of phones and just about everything else that uses electricity.

@Junkhacker
My issue seems to be like Phil Guy who posted a day ago - except partclone never kicks in.

@Junkhacker
Yes - they’re all Dell Optiplex 7020. There’s really not much to set according to the BIOS. I spent a fair amount of time searching through settings, etc. and then looking at forums and googling.
Previous admin says he’s at a loss. And I’m in trouble if I can’t get some machines up soon.

@Junkhacker
I believe it’s 1.2 - FOG says it’s the latest.
Deploy - the images are have been created and deployed successfully according to previous admin
Windows 7

System set up and working according to previous admin – and it does indeed to appear be intact, no error codes, etc., however, when I try to image a computer, partclone doesn’t start.

*client set to PXE boot

• register client in FOG w/MAC and host name
  *create task in FOG and make sure correct image is associated

-start client machine, PXE boots, sees FOG server, TFTP connects
-I watch as FOG runs through its tasks, sends inventory, etc.
-reboots

THEN – client PXE boots into a small FOG GUI menu with some options, and very quickly chooses item 1: reboot to hard disk. When it does, of course there is no OS ( I assume FOG wipes the disk/partitions or at least sets it).
So I reboot and try all the other options but none of them get me to any image load. Quick Image does nothing, reboots like all the others.
So the computers now have no OS or have a disk read error.

I have restarted FOG, jumped through the “Schema is out of date” hoop and restarted MySql and TFTP services as noted in forums. Thought for sure that would do it…but no. Still the same thing, baffling.
Previous admin says he never had an issue and did not prep the machines in any way, he doesn’t know why it doesn’t work.

One thing I did notice on the FOG client listing GUI was the red icon saying “DNS could not resolve host name”, but that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with it. The clients connect and FOG appears to wipe them. I tried a debug task to one machine but the program says to type FOG at the prompt to continue and the FOG server shouts back an error and says the computer will reboot in one minute – it never does.

One suggestion was to reinstall fog from a file on the server – should not remove settings/images etc.
I don’t have Ubuntu chops and don’t want to ruin the install if there’s just something simple I’m not doing/missing.
