No improvement after changing the PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES value.
(I did a reboot of the server to be sure.)

No problem with Fog 1.5.10.1763
Very slow with Fog 1.5.10.1798 and nothing in the logs

It’s the second server I’ve updated and the problem is the same.

Hi,
177 hosts and it takes almost one minute

Same here

Hello,
In my attempt to switch to HTTPS for the Fog server, I encountered the same issue of the keyboard being disabled in the iPXE menu. After several unsuccessful tests, I consulted Copilot. After reviewing all the scripts and .h files, it indicated that the issue stemmed from the size of the iPXE.efi file I was using. It was too large due to all the necessary modules for HTTPS, causing iPXE to deactivate the USB keyboard functionality during loading. Consequently, I opted for snponly.efi instead, and now the keyboard works perfectly.

I modified the script buildipxe.sh :

sed -i ‘s+#define USB_HCD_USBIO+//#define USB_HCD_USBIO+g’ config/usb.h
sed -i ‘s+#define USB_KEYBOARD+//#define USB_KEYBOARD+g’ config/usb.h
sed -i ‘s+//#define USB_EFI+#define USB_EFI+g’ config/usb.h

May I propose a change in the console.h : Could you set the keyboard map to “dynamic” instead of “us” ? That way we can easily set our language in default.ipxe

//#define KEYBOARD_MAP us // Default US keyboard map
#define KEYBOARD_MAP dynamic // Runtime selectable keyboard map

Thanks for your answer Tom.

I’m not a C# coder either so I won’t be able to help for the implementation of such feature client side (by the way, I’m using the fog client).
I understand the FOG philosophy and that’s hard enough to maintain this project alive.

Again thanks for the time you pass on this wonderfull project.

Hello,

I did not find specific information on this topic in the forum, so I am taking the liberty of asking the question.
When renaming a computer in Windows, its name is not updated in the FOG database. I would like to specify that I do not use the ‘Hostname Changer.’ Is there an option to allow this database update ?
If not, could it be a new feature ?

Thanks for your time.

@sebastian-roth Sorry, I didn’t see your answer. Yes it works.

@sebastian-roth Thank you very much !

@sebastian-roth
After reading the doc of the PrintUIEntry command, it seems that when you use the /sr parameter, all the values have to be placed at the end of the command :
/Sr Specifies what information about a printer is restored and how conflicts in settings are handled. Use with the following values placed at the end of the command line
So when you add ‘/q’ parameter after the m f g p values it could generate a problem ?

I dont know if this github issue is the same as mine. I should try the g/u value and compare results.

Sorry to bump this topic, can someone confirm this problem ?
If the fix is possible, could it be applied to the next fog update ?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Is the mac address different ? It seems both of them have the same.

Hi,

Same problem as Scoude here with Fog 1.5.9 on Debian 10.
I “defraged” (it’s a ssd), desactivated Fastboot, hibernate off, chkdsk…
Nothing fixed the problem.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Forget about it. It seems there is no easy way to do it and it’s not a big deal even if this kind of boot menu isn’t set up.
Thanks for your guidance.

In the web console>iPXE Menu Customization, when I change the fog.local item menu from “All Hosts” to “Registered Hosts” and sets it to default, it become the default setup for the “Not registered Host” menu fog.reginput too.

@george1421 Ok. I think I understand how it works. Let me try to resume :

When you call this url http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, the boot.php file (located in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php) will get the host informations through the mac address then create a personalized boot menu

new BootMenu();

This function can be found in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/bootmenu.class.php.
So it seems I should try to modified this file to change the default selected item depending on the host is registered or not ?

Hi,

I know how to select a IPXE item menu by default through the web console.
I would like to know if we can select an item by default when the host is not registered and another if the host is ?
I can’t see a way to do it in http://@fogserverIP/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php.

Thanks for your time.

At the end of fog.man.reg, just add those lines between “. /bin/fog.inventory” and “usleep 2000000”

sysuuid=$(dmidecode -s system-uuid)
sysuuid=${sysuuid,,}
mac=$(getMACAddresses)
curl -Lks -o /tmp/hinfo.txt --data "sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac" "${web}service/hostinfo.php" -A ''
[[ -f /tmp/hinfo.txt ]] && . /tmp/hinfo.txt

. /bin/fog.download

@george1421 Thank you very much, It works like a charm ! (image in progress)

Hi,

I’m trying, as the title says, to start image processing after full host registration without rebooting.
I already patched the fog.reg.man (postinit) to remove some questions.
But adding the line “. /bin/fog.download” at the end of the file generate an error. The variable “$osid” is not defined.
Then I look at the “/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php” file to find what is called when we choose the “Deploy Image” menu item… It just get some parameters, posts them to the fog server, then “autoboot” again on the network card. I don’t undestand how it starts the image process.

So, is it possible to push the image without reboot ?

Thanks for your time.
