@Fog_Newb It’s probably a good idea you find those other topics mentioned and post the links here so everyone can look up the context.

The 5.15.19 kernel is definitely not the very latest. But if this is working for you it’s not something I would worry about too much at the moment.

All the kernel binaries on a FOG server reside in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/. Copy the T2 kernel binary to that directory and leave it named as is. Then edit the host settings of this Mac you want to PXE boot in the FOG web UI and set this exact filename (case needs to be correct!) as Host Kernel.

While writing this I wonder if you will be able to PXE boot that T2 Mac at all. Wasn’t that an issue and the reason for creating a boot USB stick in the first place??

@ITSLUIGICASALE said in How to setup multi-site fog:

I’ve made some work on this, but replication seems to hang many times

Can you be more specific on why you think the replication hangs? Best if you can lost log files to proof what you think is happening.

@brakcounty said in Suggestion for install.sh script:

Is it possible to mod/update the install script to ask if you want to use tftpd or dnsmasq?

Currently the FOG installer script does not do dnsmasq at all. Would be a major change to add this to the scripts. You are welcome to work on this and let us know.

@Kureebow Copy and paste the URL printed by the installer to your webbrowser. If it takes you to the known web UI straight away that means there are no schema updates to do. That’s OK. Then hit ENTER for the installer to finish.

@Kureebow Sounds good. Check with systemctl status mariadb.service again and then re-run the installer ( just the ./installfog.sh from within the right directory, no need to git clone again)

@Kureebow So there is no database running at the moment as seen from the last command, strange thing.

Try starting it: systemctl start mariadb.service

@Kureebow Try this:

ls -al  /var/lib/mysql/
ls -al /var/log/mysql*
ps ax | grep -i -e mysql -e maria

@brian-mainake ACPI errors printed on screen cause actual trouble only in very rare occations. Take a picture of what you see on screen. Does it go beyond the ACPI stuff or just stops there?

@Kureebow You missed the * on the tail command. Well let’s check the log file exists first.

ls - al /var/log/mysql

Disk space is fine.

@Kureebow I don’t think a running task can cause this issue! Let’s first check the disk is not full: df -h

Then check the DB status and log:

systemctl status mariadb.service
tail -n20 /var/log/mysql/*log*

@Kureebow Ok, this is an installer extracted from a tar archive. I suggest we just leave that for the moment and pull the fresh one via git. Run the following commands as root:

cd /root
git clone https://github.com/FOGproject/fogproject
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

Make sure there is no task running at the moment beforehand!

@Kureebow Well, that might be it then: ls -al /home/admin/fogproject-1.5.9

@lebrun78 You might want to read through this topic as well: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16703/dual-boot-2-disks-unable-to-boot-grub

@Kureebow Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying FOG is not installed. We just have not found the installer folder that was used. This is not a problem! You can freshly download the installer and go ahead. But on the other hand I find it wise to try and find out if there is an old one sitting somewhere.

There is one more place often used you can check just to see if the FOG installer is there: ls -al /opt/fogproject

The FOG installer usually takes care of everything and things will work fine after running it. BUT I cannot guarantee for that!! There is always a chance of anything breaking as we don’t know all the custom changes someone might have done to the system.

In case anything goes wrong you just post here and we are happy to assist getting it fixed.

@Kureebow There is no FOG installer at all. Try this:

cd /root
ls -al fogproject

If you see “No file or directory” then:

git clone https://github.com/FOGproject/fogproject
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

BUT if you see files and directories listed from the first block of commands then post the output here and wait for our reply.

@Kureebow Please run the commands ls -al and pwd in that directory to make sure we know what this is. Post output here.

@Kureebow May I please ask you to open a new topic as this issue is not really related to the initial post.

@Cyrock There is no need to remove and re-add all hosts. I am sure it’s just a particular setting causing the problem. Most probably it’s the Host BIOS Exit Type or Host EFI Exit Type (depending on the machine being UEFI or a legacy BIOS type.

Just play with those settings and I am sure you can make it work.

@Punti Please try to manually run the following commands and post output here:

export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
cd /root
git clone https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe

@mlcloud Have you made sure the filesystem is clean and in proper state before capturing? I have to admit that I would expect for partclone to bail out on capturing an unclean filesystem but you never know.
