Hallo,
I need to change the storage location for the images because there is no more space at this partition.
Now first I should know:
Where is the default storage location for the images?
Second what I don`t know (because I´m a Linux newcomer)
How can I delete the storaged images?
and
How can I change the storage location?

I deleted the fog config file, reinstalled fog and set the fog-server as dhcp-server this time. And now everything is fine. Thanks.

There was a question about DHCP during fog-installation but I didn`t set any IP. I think this is the problem. Where can I change this. Should I start the fog installation again? And I think after fixing the problem I have to install the fog service at the windows client again.

No error message but it seems like client is searching a DHCP-Server and doesn`t find any. In what file can I set the IP-Adresse of the DHCP-Server. and should I take the Fog-servers ip or my routers ip?
At the client I found a file with name
fog.log
Here is the content:

First boot order in bios is PXE but the client doesnt boot from network. When I had ubuntu 12.04 it did. What can I do now?

O.K. Was a hard job but I finished installation of the fog-server. I`m not shure whether I answered all the questions correctly but hope I can fix it later if something was wrong. After fog-installation I installed the fog-service at a windows-client.
But the client only boots into windows
What can I do now?

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 8695, member: 18”]most of FOG admin is all done through the Web user interface, so there is no need for a GUI.

but if you must,

sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment

no reason to keep /opt/fog either.[/quote]

I`m not even able to start a webbrowser from commandline therefor I need gnome.
If there is no reason to copy the fog folder from where or how can I get fog now?
thanks

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 8690, member: 18”]none

which fog folder? /images, /tftpboot, /var/www/fog, /opt/fog ?[/quote]
/opt/fog

But now there is another big problem. I finished installation started ubuntu and after login I only get a commandline. I cant work with commandline, Im a absolutly newcomer with linux. I need a graphical desktop like gnome or anything else. What can I do?

I`m going on to install ubuntu 10.04 During installation there is the question “What software should be installed:
DNS server
LAMP server
Mail server
and so on”
Is there any software I should select?
If installation and upgrade is successful is it possible to copy the fog folder which I saved from ubuntu 12.04 to an external hdd or is there an other way to install fog?
Best regards and thanks very much

Warum kann ich nicht ubuntu 12.04 verwenden, das habe ich in einer deutschen Installationsanleitung so gelesen. Ich war so froh, dass ich nach etlichen Versuchen das ubuntu endlich installiert hatte. Der FOG-Server ließ sich ja auch gut installieren und konfigurieren. Mein Versuchshost(winXP-Maschine) hat sich auch gleich registriert und ist auf dem FOG-Server vorhanden. Ich schaff es nur nicht ein image von dem host auf dem FOG-Server zu erzeugen. Siehe obige Fehlermeldung. Ich hab das Problem auch in einigen threads gefunden, aber die waren alle in englischer Sprache und ich hab die Lösung nicht verstanden.

Hi @ all,
I am an absolutly newcomer in the linuxworld and I was very happy when I was lucky with installing ubuntu 12.04 and FOG-Server. I think configure the FOG was O.K but now nothing functions :-((
And I googled many hours, but I always found threads only in English language but my English is too bad.

I want to creat an image of a WinXP-mashine and I go to task-management click “list all hosts” the host I want to create an image from is listed. But if I click “upload” I always get the error: “Unable to start task Unable to located master node from storage group.”
Please help if possible in German language.
Best regards
