@george1421 Host/Target system- “admin” account. I’m always afraid to reset the machine as it works for a little bit, but I think an update gets triggered and then the target system password changes. At one point I resorted to using VM because I can just reload the past configuration.

At the moment, I just recently changed it back to my standard password. Now I need to check if Imaging will still work, this happened before. When I change my target systems password back, I notice imaging starts to fail. Makes me wonder if there is a mismatch somewhere. Thanks for the help.

@george1421 Im not sure, I can check… but first I have to log-in my OS! trying to reset the password. I saw this happening in Kubuntu as well, for some weird reason the original admin password for the OS just gets knocked off. I am wondering what I am doing wrong in the fog install process. At least it would be helpful to know what the password changes too.

Hello,

I am using Linux Mint 18.3, ive noticed right after installing fog, the admin password for my OS changes. I actually don’t know what it changes too. But I suspect fog is generating this key.

Any idea why this is happening? and how to stop it?

Thank You.

So Im getting this now when I install, this is under master and working checkouts’

Somehow the install fails.

Thanks Tom. OK I will use Fedora. Ive attached some screenshots, is this typical? This is with ubuntu (i will change to fedora after this)

Im seeing this in other OS but this is a clean install using a empty VM, so Im not sure what its referring too about apache2. I dont recall seeing this error before. I did manage to get it running just once.

Thanks,
Francis

@george1421 @Tom-Elliott

So sorry, I thought this was done- but using the git checkout master or git checkout working im getting fail on PHP5.

OS is Linux 18.1 32 bit.

At this point I will try using UBUNTU. I’m thinking this maybe a Mint issue

How do I post an error log here? It says there is character limit so I can paste it there.

Thank You.

@Tom-Elliott and @george1421 — perhaps if we get some extra funding That said, if you come to hawaii for a conference. Hit me up and i will be happy to show you the beautiful Big Island!!!

Again, Thank you for all you do!

Aloha and Mahalo Tom and George1421!

Your instructions worked and now we are able to use fog here in Hawaii!

Commands I used for those having issues:

sudo -i

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /opt/fogproject
cd /opt/fogproject

git checkout working
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh
