Always make a backup first. Using fog suggestion should work (cd; mysqldump --allow-keywords -x -v fog > fogbackup.sql)
To drop a database : drop database fog;

@maveriick enter the ; and press enter to terminate the command…
all command must have ended with ;

To solve “Snapin hash does not exist”, i updated all my snapins to generate the hash.
When i opened a snapin to edit, the hash field (that is read only) was empty. I clicked the update button and the field was filled.
After this, snapin was installed.
edit. some I had to delete and recreate the snap in, by uploading the file again.

@mbarker
all this can be done using just fog webui (i think).

My idea (if i understood your problem):
1 - in iPXE Menu Configuration, change options that you want to hide from your client to “do not list on the menu”
2 - let “fog.deployimage” and “fog.local” visible to all hosts. Adjust them as needed. Example: if you dont need asks for password and other things.
3 - when you boot the laptop, you will see only these options, if you dont touch anything, then local disk will be loaded.
If you choose “Deploy Image” you will see another menu with all of your images, if you name them appropriately, will be easy to identify and select the image to deploy.

tested with my dual boot system (Vista/Debian8) and worked!!.

@ch3i
I am in the same situation here.

Looking at my old scripts ( i am not using at moment) i found one that changes linux hostname and swap uuid:

/images/postdownloadscripts/fog.hosts


#the file contents
-----------------------
#/bin/sh
. /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh;

partition=`lsblk -o KNAME,FSTYPE,LABEL /dev/sda? | grep -v -E "swap|KNAME" | awk '{print $1}'`
mountpoint="/test"
linuxhostname="$mountpoint/etc/hostname"

comandomount="mount"
swappart=`blkid | grep swap | awk -F"\"" '{print $2}'`

dots "Creating mount point" 
mkdir -p $mountpoint 2>/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "Error"


for i in $partition
do
   tipopart=`lsblk -o FSTYPE /dev/$i | grep -v FSTYPE`
   if [ $tipopart = "ext4" ]
   then
       comandomount="mount -t $tipopart"
   fi
   dots "Mounting Partition /dev/$i"
   $comandomount /dev/$i $mountpoint && status="OK" || status="Error"
   
   if [ $status = "OK" ]
   then
       echo "OK"
       if [ -e $linuxhostname ]; then
           dots "Changing hostname on Linux"
           echo $hostname > $linuxhostname && echo "OK" || echo "Error"
       fi
      dots "Changing swap UUID inside fstab file"
      fstabpart=`cat $mountpoint/etc/fstab | grep swap | grep UUID | cut -d"=" -f2| awk '{print $1}'`
      sed -i "s/$fstabpart/$swappart/g" $mountpoint/etc/fstab && echo "OK" || echo "Error"
      umount $mountpoint
   else
       echo "Error mounting partition $partition"
   fi
done

don’t forget to put directive calling this script inside /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload

It was used many times and works, but i don’t know if this is the final version put at production.
some ideas.

@Sebastian-Roth
Yes, My image is not resizable…
I will try to reproduce my steps…
1 - Erase disk data/delete partitions
2 - Install Windows, reserving space for linux or shrink windows later (in disk management tool, or gparted if needed).
3 - Install Linux, install grub on mbr or partition.
4 - Configure grub if needed ( i had to make some minor changes only in Debian8/Windows10 because grub was listing windows 10 as 7)

My preference to use grub is because i can make changes in boot order, one time boot order and so on… easily using ansible or other management tool. I don’t know how can i achieve the same in Windows side.

@ricky.ext
this is from one of my images:

label: dos
label-id: 0x40c79279
device: /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=        2048, size=     2097152, type=27
/dev/sda2 : start=     2099200, size=   222398464, type=7
/dev/sda3 : start=   224497664, size=     1953792, type=82
/dev/sda4 : start=   226451456, size=    86128640, type=83, bootable

I don’t know if this is correct, but works for me.

@Wayne-Workman
each lab with its configuration and its specific purpose.

@ricky-ext
the same layout here, 2 partitions for each system.(windows boot, windows system, swap, /)
i’m using grub to manage all.

All of our computers are dual boot system.
Some of them are Windows Vista/Debian, some Windows 10/Debian, Windows 10/Mint, Windows Vista/CentOS, Windows10/CentOS and so on.
Fog works correctly in all the cases.
How is your partition layout for opensuse (fs types)?
What is your fog version?

@DEMONTECH
You need to run the Fogcrypt command passing all the path where fogcrypt file is, or add the location to path variable.
eg. “C:\Test\FogCrypt.exe” …

an advice:
when you hear: “legacy client”, run in the opposite direction as fast as possible … save your life …

@Quazz
Now it works with 7zip too.
Definitely something went wrong at last time.

@Quazz
previously: 7-zip 16.02-x86, Windows Vista Bussiness x86 SP2.
currently: zip 3.0-8-x64, Debian Jessie x64 (default zip package from debian).
I think that something went wrong when I made the compression. I will try again with 7zip and report with it works.

@Joe-Schmitt
It’s working now.
changing zip software works as expected.
Thanks.

Following https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=SnapinPacks, i created a snapin pack for ampl software to test.
When i sent single snapin task, the task never ended and the sotfware was not installed.
Looking at fog.log:

Am i doing something wrong? What i could do to fix this?

@Wayne-Workman
I want to avoid fatigue!!
you are right! and i have to say that i did not have that idea!
simple, easy and works.

@Wayne-Workman
i need to deploy 30 snapins (30 of 31), the 31 is deployed as single snapin to install our ocs agent software after all other work is done. If i could create all snapins task and cancel one…Maybe this could be possible in 2.0!!
Thank you…i will use single snapin task, works very well too.

Not sure if this is a bug…
When create all snapins task, i want to cancel only one snapin listed in “Active Snapin Tasks”. if i select, then hit cancel, all snapins are cancelled returning “no results found” for active snapins tasks page. Is this correct? If yes, how can i cancel only one snapin keeping others?
This is a fresh install of centos and fog.
Thanks.

@Tom-Elliott
My image was created with trunk version and what you said about d1 files work for me. Thanks a lot to all!
