@george1421 I assume that the only way to repair this is to reinstall Fog. I am not sure where to start to do this manually. Any pointers?

@george1421 morning. Yesterday I started on this. When I got to step 8 it seems I installed Fog here /opt/fog_stable/bin/installfog.sh.

I get the following error. I don’t recall ever getting this message.

root@fog2:~# /opt/fog_stable/bin/installfog.sh

 * Are you sure you wish to continue (Y/N) Y

/opt/fog_stable/bin/installfog.sh: line 521: confirmPackageInstallation: command not found

 * Configuring services

@george1421 Thank you for your help. I’ll continue with this tomorrow. I have to run some errands and eat something, I’ve been at it for a couple of hours. Thanks again.

@george1421 It seems I have 4.19.123 x86_64. However when I ran the script I thought I updated.

If I try to update through the FOG GUI I get this error. Not sure what credentials I should be using under TFTP Server.

Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 464, Message: ftp_login(): Login incorrect., Host: 10.10.20.20, Username: fog

@george1421

So I get this. Hope it helps.

@george1421 I think this one might be better.

@george1421 I will try this in a moment. Before I do, here’s the adapter. Thank you.

Hi @george1421, I guess I was doing this while you were typing your response. I updated the Kernel using the manual method with the script from this part of the wiki https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel_Update. I updated sucessfully.

RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 !=4096) - After the update I got this error, but I modified the KERNEL RAMDISK SIZE to 275000 and now I am back at No network interfaces found… but this time there’s less error messages on my screen now.

No network interfaces found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver!
Please check your network setup and try again!

Hello everyone,

I am having an issue that when I want to deploy an image to a Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen (20R1) an error comes up telling me No network interfaces found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver!

However, I just imaged a Lenovo P43s (20RH) and another Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen (20QD) and both were imaged just fine. Same cable, same Lenovo adapter, same port, same switch and same VLAN. Same steps for prepping bios before the image as well, which are disabling Kernel DMA Protection, Disabling Secure Boot, Startup I choos Both and Legacy First and on the Boot order I put PXE first. I am running FOG 1.5.5.

I did try another X1 (20R1) and I get the same error. I updated the bios and the network drivers and ran all the Lenovo Vantage updates after getting the error the first time. I also removed Bitlocker encryption, turned off fast boot and nothing has fixed the issue. So I imagine the problem it’s with this specific model of X1s (20R1).

Has anyone encountered this? Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

@Sebastian-Roth that fixed it. I just tested it by booting a laptop off PXE and it works great. I am now capturing an image. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

@Sebastian-Roth I’ll rerun the installer and let you know. Thank you very much.

@Sebastian-Roth I think you are right. I did not press [Enter] after the database was updated. Is there a way to run the script again, or do I need to reinstall everything? I appreciate your help.

@Sebastian-Roth Apologies. I already installed FOG(Normal) in virtual machine (VMWare) running Ubuntu server 18.04. A previous boss I had did this and I am trying to figure it out from scratch. I don’t know much about Linux, but I’ve learned quite a lot doing this project.

Basically I want to keep my VM storage separate from my image storage. I want to be able to PXE boot my laptops/workstations so I can start capturing images and deploying them.

@Sebastian-Roth I think I found it, it’s called tftp and not tftpboot.

@Sebastian-Roth thanks! Can I just drop these files in my storage? Do I need to also have them in my FOG server? It’s my first time creating a FOG server and I know it’s no excuse to not be able to do it since all the information is there, but I do not have that directory.

Is the file I need to copy this one? /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

First I’d like to thank all of you, very helpful guides for beginners. Second, I have an issue trying to copy the PXE files to my shared folders. I am following Larwayn’s guide https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10973/add-a-nas-qnap-ts-231-as-a-storage-node-fog-v1-4 and I managed to do everything correctly until I get to the part with these commands.

Next we will copy the PXE boot files from the FOG server to the NAS
mount -t nfs <nas_ip>:/share/tftpboot /mnt
cp -R /tftpboot/* /mnt
umount /mnt

The command “mount -t nfs mynasip:/share/tftpboot /mnt” works fine, the problem is when I type the next command “cp -R /tftpboot/* /mnt” gives me an error that says “cp: cannot stat '/tftpboot/': No such file or directory". Am I executing the cp command wrong? It worked on "cp -R /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/ /mnt/ssl” without problem. Is it maybe a permission that I must add on the QNAP?

Thank you in advance,
Jorge
