It was worse than i thought.

Ubuntu wouldn’t start so it looks like a complete refresh

@george1421

OK everyone. Now it refuses to download alternative browsers. Looks like my install is seriously flaky.

I’m going to reboot and attempt to re-install FOG.

@Sebastian-Roth said in FOG 1.5.7 install on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS fails at Schema install/update:

@TurkTownBlue There is something terribly wrong with this installation.

Please run mount and post the full output here.

Bear with. I am logged onto the forum on a different machine. Firefox doesn’t render on the FOG device so I may be a while downloading an alternate Browser.

@TurkTownBlue

Sudo makes no difference.

The mysql command won’t create : Read-only file system.

@george1421
No MariaDB logs, just a mysql in /var/log

Nothing in that since Friday.

Incidentally, I tried to ‘touch’ a couple of test files in /home/<myuser> and in /tmp, /var etc. Each time I get a "cannot touch ‘test’: Read-only file system.

So it looks like my machine has decided to lock everything down. I don’t understand how it managed to download the FOG package in that case.

@george1421 said in FOG 1.5.7 install on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS fails at Schema install/update:

@TurkTownBlue OK, so key in exit; to leave the database interface.

Let me look deeper into that error message.

No worries. I’m here for another hour or so!

OK, that got me (with a blank password) to:

MariaDB [(none)]>

First post for an utter Newbie:
I’m attempting to install FOG 1.5.7 on a brand-new virgin install of Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

Everything on the Ubuntu install seems to have gone as per guidelines. However, having gone through most of the FOG Install I have got as far as the part that prompts:

“You still need to install/update your database schema…”

…and points you to http://<my hostname>/fog/management.

That screen suggests I back up any existing schema (no point) before hitting the ‘install/update now’ button. Hitting the button only gives me an error feedback page in which the (truncated) text says

“Failed to query: error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error 1006 Can’t create database ‘fog’ (errno: 30 “Read-only file system”) Error Message: Error Code: “HY000”, Error Message: [“HY000”, 1006, “Can’t create database ‘fog’ (errno: 30 “Read-only file system”)”], Debug: SQL: [35] CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS ‘fog’”

Any suggestions? Bear in mind this is my first foray into both Ubuntu AND FOG.
