I don’t know what happened, but now after upgrading, my optiplex 380 won’t boot to Fog. It times out like it is a TFTP problem, but I rebooted the Fog machine and reset the tftp service on the Fog machine. I am about to leave this school and won’t be back until the 16th since they are at spring break next week. So, while I appreciate any responses, just know that I won’t be able to try anything until then.

It is still timing out. I would suggest that it is just a problem with this model, but I have already uploaded twice and downloaded once to and from a couple of laptops of the same model. Although now when it times out, it doesn’t do a full reboot, it kicks it straight to a windows startup.

Nevermind, upgrade in progress.

Does it matter which way I do it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but update what to 3077?

There was an update from A08 to A09. I updated it, same thing.

OoBE is what I normally do. It isn’t really a huge deal, I can just set up an extra local account, I was just hoping to avoid it to make it a little quicker.

It has never been an issue before though. I have done it this way at a few different schools and don’t use answer files at any of them.

So I checked in the settings on the fog server and under host management settings it did not have any of the boxes checked for services (I thought the default on these was checked). I checked the appropriate ones and I reimaged to test it out. After I named the computer and created the admin account, it rebooted to join it to the domain, but it made me set up another local admin account. Any thoughts on why it had me go through the account setup again?

The upload a file won’t let me upload the fog log for some reason. It just doesn’t even see it as a possibility.

It appears to be drawing an IP before that screen. Attached is the two screens I see. I apologize for the poor quality, but it happens so fast that I couldn’t catch it when it was happening with a keystroke, so I shot video on my cellphone, and then took screenshots.

All of this is happening on the same switch as 2 other computers that aren’t having this issue, and I have tried changing this computers patch cable to a port on the switch that one of the others was using just to make sure that it wasn’t a problem with a specific port config.

Wolfbane: All of my settings there look correct too. I just tried another latitude (E5530) that has never been imaged or registered with Fog, and it loaded the fog menu just fine. I changed it back to undionly.kpxe because the .kkpxe caused some different issues. It is doing what it did before, where it loads the screen attached, then it just reboots.

How would I correct that, Junkhacker?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit, and I tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit kernels. Each change I make, it still works fine with the optiplex 330 I have been using as a test machine, just not with the latitude.

Junkhacker: When I installed the FOG client, I believe I allowed all services, but if for some reason I didn’t, how would I go about checking that?

Uncle Frank: These are not SSD units.

Wayne Workman: Normally when I join clients to the domain I use xyz.local

I changed it to undionly.kkpxe and now it does what you see in the image.

Sorry I should have specified. In the field for Domain, I have tried xyz.local and xyzdomain. The username I have only used administrator.

I have checked the password encryption multiple times and I have tried imaging multiple times (the image does have the fog client) and I can’t get it to join the domain. I got it to work at one of my other schools, and I set this one up the same way. I am wondering if it is a problem with the way that this domain was originally set up. For example, the domain would be xyz.local but if you login with this domain it is xyzdomain\administrator instead of just xyz\administrator. I have tried both xyz.local and xyzdomain for the domain in fog, and neither will work. I have Fog 1.2 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (FWIW I had the same issue at this school when I was using Fog .32)

Any thoughts?

I have imaged a couple of this model of computer when I was running .32, but I just upgraded to 1.2 (and updated DHCP to undionly.kpxe) (also, this is Ubuntu 12.04LTS) and this laptop will not load the menu. I also tried adding the host manually and telling it to download the image and it does not. It acts like it is going to load, flashes something too quick for me to catch and then goes into:
initialising ipxe devices and then it does configuring (Mac address), then it flashes something else too quick to catch and then reboots the machine.

I have successfully downloaded images to a couple of other models, so I don’t think it is a DHCP issue or anything like that. I have tried a few kernels (including a couple of Toms that aren’t under the published area), and so far nothing.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!

I was having similar issues with the XPS 13 9333 using a startech dongle. The kernel 3.17.2 TomElliott (unofficial) was the only one that I could get to work with the xps.
