Does this cause problems for you? It generally shouldn’t for FOG.

As you say, it seems unable to create tasks and such, which is troublesome.

Also, this apache error is generated every 0.25seconds or so:

[Wed Apr 27 10:43:47.795413 2016] [:error] [pid 20862] [client 192.168.1.31:55867] PHP Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/eventmanager.class.php on line 67 (I’m guessing it’s complaining about empty string?)

Looking at the file it seems to be related to plugins (I have none installed currently)

Also, the FOG Settings page shows no settings anymore.

Guess I jumped the gun a bit with upgrading to 16.04 heh.

I think maybe Ubuntu pushed a patch to fix the upgrade thing? I can’t reproduce it any longer anyway.

Anyway, after running that command inside of mysql I can now connect as a regular user to the database and the schema updater no longer shows up!

Wouldn’t resolving this be as simple as setting SQL_MODE to ’ '?

edit: After trying this, the answer appears to be no, no it will not.

@Sebastian-Roth At home now, but the error I got on the fog schema updater was :

Access denied for ‘root’@‘localhost’. Please check if the database is running.

Using sudo mysql -u root through ssh gave me access no problem.

Using mysql -u root gave the Access denied for ‘root’@‘localhost’ error (I believe it was number 1696 or so?)

But your comment gave me an idea to move the var/lib/mysql and reinstall.

Tom had a brief join.me session before my internet cut out and after that I had to sort out our dhcp server first since apparmor didn’t allow it to create new dhcp lease files (still doesn’t, but it’s in complain mode now), so we’re guessing this error has something to do with ubuntu 16.04 specifically.

@Sebastian-Roth The problem is, there is no password set!

@Tom-Elliott mysql-server is most definitely installed, it just isn’t able to login into mysql as a regular user, only using sudo or as root.

I assume FOG tries to login as a regular user (fog user most likely?) which fails like it does when I try it manually of course.

Would it be possible to simply install mariadbserver and try that?

@arnaudrigole Could you post a screenshot of your storage node screen of the windows node from the FOG web UI?

So, I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and as usual Mysql fails to configure itself during the upgrade.

So I removed all mysql with remove --purge and tried to let the fog installer take care of it, but unfortunately fog does not include the mysql-server installation in the script.

Therefore I tried to manually install mysql-server, which went fine without errors, but now fog gives the access denied for ‘root’@‘localhost’ error.

I then went into ssh terminal and tried to do mysql -u root, which also gives this message.

I was never given the option to enter a mysql root password (and have never had one).

I’ve already tried to remove the password using mysql commands, but it doesn’t change any rows (it does match one), which indicates there’s no password.

So not sure if something changed in ubuntu or the new mysql but it’s not working like before at any rate.

No, FOG uses NFS for image capture and deployment.

@Psycholiquid Turn off Fast Boot in power options to disable the hibernate shutoff.

Did you follow all the steps? Because this is a permissions issue plain and “simple”.

@goempie What OS are you running?

@Tom-Elliott I assume this bug would also affect windows 8 images since they also have the fast boot option. In my experience that option causes more problems than doing anything useful.

@goempie Upgrading the kernel is unrelated to the ipxe binaries, don’t worry.

Try pointing your DHCP server to the realtek.kpxe binary instead of undionly.kpxe like George suggested.

Don’t worry about wireless for now, wireless cards rarely ever support PXE, same goes for the BIOS supporting wireless PXE booting. So, it is most likely already trying to boot of the wired connection.

This is anecdotal but I get this all the time in VMs when I reboot (but not when I shutdown and then boot). Don’t know if that’s something you’ve already tried, though.

This is a known issue (source: http://ipxe.org/err/040ee1)

@mageta52 What Linux distrubtion will you be using?

FOG simply reads the IP information from your current interface IP, if you want to change that you have to change your static IP. (how will depend on your linux distribution)

You fill in your future static subnet IP at the step it asks you to do so.

Then you install FOG which will use that IP for everything. After it’s installed you can then change your interface IP and move FOG to the isolated subnet.

FOG will automatically generate a DHCP config and start the DHCP server service. Since you’re on an isolated subnet, the DNS won’t matter, nor will your gateway.

@MaMu No, I don’t believe ignore_resolvconf works for this problem.

You have to edit the startup script of dnsmasq in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq

And change

start_resolvconf()
{
# If interface "lo" is explicitly disabled in /etc/default/dnsmasq
# Then dnsmasq won't be providing local DNS, so don't add it to
# the resolvconf server set.
        for interface in $DNSMASQ_EXCEPT
        do
                [ $interface = lo ] && return
        done

        if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
                echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | /sbin/resolvconf -a lo.$NAME
        fi
        return 0
}

To

start_resolvconf()
{
# If interface "lo" is explicitly disabled in /etc/default/dnsmasq
# Then dnsmasq won't be providing local DNS, so don't add it to
# the resolvconf server set.
        for interface in $DNSMASQ_EXCEPT
        do
                [ $interface = lo ] && return
        done

        grep -qr port=0 /etc/dnsmasq.d/ /etc/dnsmasq.conf && return
        if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
                echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | /sbin/resolvconf -a lo.$NAME
        fi
        return 0
}
