The first install I tried, this time around, was 18.04 and 1.5.7. I gave up because of the failed install of several modules during the fog install. I looked up the error messages I kept on receiving and came to this forum where several others reported the same problems. One suggestion from a user (not a developer) was that 16.04 and 1.5.2 and 1.5.0 would work.

The point is that the very particular error message I started this thread with I also got trying to install 18.04/1.5.7, but then with numerous others remaining.

But when I kept fighting through one error message after the other (with 16.04/1.5.2), I finally managed to narrow it down to this one particular message. The previous two installs in 2010 and 2013 weren’t exactly easy either, but I did get through them in the end looking up one error message after.

Trying 18.04/1.5.7 in a virtual machine this time.

The entire error message is “Installing package: php-mysqlnd…Failed! (Will try later)”. Everything else installs now, after numerous attempts, when running the fog installer.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04.1 (ubuntu-16.04.1-server-i386) on a 32 bit CPU.
Fog 1.5.2, also after recommendations from this forum.
I hope, and really appreciate, if anyone here has the answer. I am an IT techie, but L2/L3, and Linux is not my strong side, to put it mildly. My two previous fog servers both crashed within the last 3 months, after ten and 6 years of running, and I use these for tanking computers for courses doing L2/L3 training.
I will of course be happy to supply information that is needed from any var/log/conf files, if asked.
I’ve set the installation to Normal (not Storage), to run as DHCP, static IP, correct DNS (as the rest of the installation is a witness of).

Thank you very much, Tom, and thanks for everybody who spent time on this discussion thread. It has been of immense assistance to us. My production fog is running 64 bit Ubuntu Server, but I’ll try your kernel on my test fog in Virtual Box. We will virtualize the fog server within 6 months time, so a testing of a redo of the fog configuration is ahead of us, just after Christmas. Anyway, I fixed the problem by using another computer, without a DVI graphic, to upload the image the image of the computer with the DVI interface.

I guess not. Thanks.

And if we did both of the above and the screen still shows up blank, what then. I really appreciate the help above, finding out that the Kernel for Fog was also something that could be upgraded, but what next?
