@yardk No, because we don’t know what’s wrong.

Are you randomly trying kernels and inits? If so is this machine actually an ARM device?

What version of FOG?

What version of Inits? What version of Kernels? What kernel Version?

(Versions are now being somewhat represented as dates of the build, and the kernel version is the actual version of the linux kernel, such as 6.6.22 or 4.1.3, or whatever. 20240305 might represent the version of the init/kernel build rather than the actual kernel version. Confusing I know but trust me it will make sense when you have to seperate things out. For example, it’s possible Kernel version 6.1.89 is in version of kernel 20240305 and 20240802, because we used the same kernel to be built between the 2. Generally not going to be the case I suppose but just wanted to make a note somewhere.)

Basically your very first post doesnt’ really tell us anything about what’s wrong, what you’re attempting, what hardware you’re using, or anything.

@wilsol you’re downgrading the kernel version, not FOG. These versions exist and while generally having the bleeding edge is fine, sometimes the bleeding edge is … well… problematic. Will there be a fix? Most likely, when we know exactly what’s causing and can produce a patch, notify the kernel development team what we find, or disable the offending piece once we know what it is and what (if any) it impacts by being disabled. Until then, using the slightly older version is the workaround/fix.

@gribbler the post download script will run for all deploy tasks. If there’s a specific post download script you’ve written you would have to provide those here so we could attempt to figure out why it worked for this but not that. I have no idea what your scripts look like or what they’re doing.

In your scripts you can do debugPause statements and you’d have to run your task in debug mode to see it on the fly.

@gribbler Only deploy based imaging tasks runs postdownload.

deploy with snapins
deploy without snapins
deploy debug

I think are the only three.

@JYost If your’e asking about the not found autoexec.ipxe that shouldn’t matter as it is just a means to use local files to autoexec ipxe items.

Effectively “autoexec.ipxe… Not found” is not an error message that is preventing booting in and of itself.

I suspect, possibly, that it is where your ipxe is failing to continue, but that seems more like when you compiled you forgot to include the embed script that (once autoexec.ipxe is not found) tells ipxe what to do.

@Mr_____T I don’t know if you’re installing, but the buildipxe.sh script should be able to run through now.

@Mr_____T I’m not sure why you’ve got head. I check stable, dev-branch, and working-1.6 and this file does not have the merge conflict associated to it.

Can you please attempt:

git reset --hard
git pull

If you’ve edited the files, its possible those changes will be lost. Not sure what would’ve changed so please make sure to get a backup of the state if you need to keep those changes.

Thanks

@RocksAndRolls I’m guessing, possibly, somebody changed the ftp path for the image location from /images to /home/fogproject/ftp?

@DzOnizuka No you’d have to change your OS /etc/fstab to use the device names over the UUID’s.

Otherwise what you’re capturing is an FSTAB of the “golden” machine, then putting it on a different machine, who’s UUIDs are not the same thing.

@DzOnizuka I dont think it’s grub specifically but rather the fstab.

Debian, and Ubuntu, tend to set the /etc/fstab to use the drive’s UUID to indicate which drive to load the OS from. I’ll bet if your drive layouts are consistent at least (like for like) if your replace the uuid and point specifically at the device name (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb2 etc…) things would work perfectly fine.

@danieln using using expansion variables wouldn’t work because the user doing the expansion of %userprofile% from a snap in is system.

Those types of snap ins work just fine when directed appropriately because there is no user interaction. I suspect the 3rd party tool simulates the interaction via elevated credentials but those interactions will not work from the system user. I know it’s a pain, but that is one limitation of windows and system user. System user has full reign on the OS. It should be able to do these things. However, security wise, it’s a black hole in that any application or service that would run as the system user after being installed by an elevated permission, would also have full reign. So to prevent complete destruction of the OS and experience Microsoft has made it impossible to have the system user directly interact with other users profiles. I see both sides of it. There simply isn’t a way around this currently that I’m aware of.

@danieln the act of “pinning” I believe requires user interaction. I also suspect, possibly, the office 365 is awaiting user interaction. Once the task starts, look at the task manager. My suspicion is you’ll see office installer is running. But it never completes which is why you don’t see it finishing the task on the server.

@NoIPName you didn’t provide a csv. You took a screenshot of an excel of your csv.

That said I suspect there’s an issue on the line of or immediately following the host you aren’t able to import.

I also seem to be seeing the same host name multiple times in your image so that might explain things as well.

Please provide your actual csv.

@Driver while I’d love to support resizing and working with LVM, we do not currently support it. There’s functions to try but I never got around to incorporating it or getting it tested and functioning. Maybe we could revisit but I can assure you I am completely at a loss on how to do it. That’s not to say it cannot be done, I just focused on all things else besides this and the fog client. All help/any help is appreciated especially if it makes fog that much more robust and usable.

@kotson3 I don’t know what’s wrong and with such little information th eonly thing I see is FOG sees it as connection failed. This leads me to think maybe this is something forced for your environment.

Filezilla works because it can just flip a switch when it fails best I can guess. We aren’t filezilla. If you must “drop it out” then so be it. i don’t know what’s wrong and without really much more information, I don’t know what else to say.

in particular I do keep seeing “Entering Extended Passive Mode” which is very very strange. id on’t know what this means and may be playing a part of this?

FOG FTP can support Passive mode but I don’t believe it’s enabled by default.

@kotson3 I’m seeing connection failed, so I’m unsure what/where the problem is occurring.

@NoIPName You’re still using 1.5.9-RC2.9 (???) and @Nicolas-Bricet You too?

can you upgrade ot a more modern version from the stable branch. Pretty sure this may have already long since been addressed.

@kotson3 But you’re not attempting FTP to 10.234.90.212. you seem to be attempting to FTP (in the cli) to 127.0.0.1 or localhost. From what I can tell, your FTP instance isn’t passing over the 10.234.90.212 point.

@Small0145 The filter is the only way, as of now, to do that.

Mind you, the filter works as a comma seperated list.

So if you know all the MACs you want not to be used, that’s how you can ignore it from even potentially registering.

@Small0145 said in Different computers on the same Pending entry:

0A:00:27

I think there’s FOG Settings -> QUICKREG MAC Filter or something, and you can put the partial mac address which effectively would do as you’re requesting.
