@tesparza You may want to look through the location plugin documentation. Most of your questions I think will be answered by this and the video in there. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Location_Plugin

I agree with George.
If you can build a new server from scratch, do it.

It should be there…
Try to search for it on the debug host?
[CODE]find / | grep fixparts[/CODE]

"Delete file data" checked as defaultposted in Feature Request
Never once have I removed an image definition without also wanting to delete the data. Maybe I’m the only one??? I doubt it though. If deleting the data too is what most people do most of the time, then this checkbox should be defaulted to checked.

RE: Create Image via APIposted in General Problems
@makswojciech You might look here at the community contributed powershell modules, they might give you a good direction. https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts/tree/master/PowershellModules
Though, sometimes it’s best to go look at the source code. Have a look-see at the files with the word
imagein their name here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/master/packages/web/lib/fog -
RE: PXE Surface PRO 3posted in Hardware Compatibility
We are requesting that all community members who have Surface Pros to please do a packet capture, to capture the DHCP conversation the client sends out at boot time via the ethernet dock, and upload the capture here. The intent is to gather more information about the Surface Pro, so fog can better support network booting it.
Thanks,

RE: Fog has no continuity?posted in General Problems
He’s probably looking at master branch.

For the record, dev-branch is kept more updated, but it’s not an official release. Though a lot of people use it (see usage report in my signature).

At least he didn’t say 5 years
sourceforge hasn’t been updated in 5 years. Interestingly the traffic graph says it gets 50 weekly downloads.

RE: Lenovo ThinkPad T460p with Intel Ethernet Connection l219-LM doesn't work with Kernel TomElliot 4.6.4posted in Hardware Compatibility
@mmingorance said in Lenovo ThinkPad T460p with Intel Ethernet Connection l219-LM doesn't work with Kernel TomElliot 4.6.4:
I could see that the reason might be a problem in my DHCP Server, but in that case, this issue should affect to all my laptops (not only this model).
Not really true, the laptop has different hardware, which probably requires a different boot ROM. Available boot ROMs can be listed by running
ls -laht /tftpbootand you would need to create a DHCP reservation for a test laptop, and setting the reservation’s DHCP option 067 to each file until you found one that works. UEFI type firmware and devices require boot ROMs that end with.efiall the other files available are for Legacy BIOS.After solving this, you may also be interested in:

RE: "Invalid MAC address" when trying to add hostsposted in FOG Problems
It will look different in 1.2.0. I’m using FOG Trunk.
If you don’t have these options, you might need to move to FOG trunk if you absolutely need to image this server (and others like it).
You can find more info here on using the Subversion method of updating to trunk, if you so choose https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN
I’d recommend reading up on the FOG Trunk version, there’s a tid-bit at the bottom of that page about it.

It’s a great solution if your working under a tight budget.
I’d say it’s a lot more than that.

RE: Chainloader issuesposted in Hardware Compatibility
Try different hdd exit types. Look up the host in Host Management, and on it’s general page you’ll see two drop downs towards the bottom for hdd exit types, one is BIOS the other is UEFI. so the mode that the computer is operating in determines which of these settings will apply. I would first recommend trying Grub, then if that doesn’t work just try one at a time - do a full reboot between each try.

RE: To setup download task, you must first upload an imageposted in FOG Problems
@curvature Please note that the upload-task moves the image from /dev to /images via FTP after uploading completes. If there are old images stuck in /dev, you will just need to delete those.
If you upload an image and it moves correctly, you’re good to go.

RE: Location plugin by subnetposted in Feature Request
Great request. I think this can be done without too much difficulty. It would actually solve a lot of issues with locations.
I believe I can do this with PHP, and then Tom might take my example work and improve on it.
