I’ve emailed the creator of fixparts for advice about scripting this process. I’m waiting for a reply.

If I don’t get a reply, I’ll make an attempt on my own.

@imagingmaster21 Is this a thinkpad or a yoga? If you can, I’d like to have the full model number. Also, I need to know the model of the USB adapter you’re using - who makes it, and preferably a link to where it’s sold.

@clickwir said in Ubuntu 17.04 - No kernel modules were found:

edit: Why is my reply ABOVE yours? This is backwards.
edit2: No, this is worse. It’s below my original post but above the first reply. This is worse than backwards.

Because the first post is the topic. Why would you want me to scroll all the way down the to bottom of the page/last page just to get to the most recent post? I think that’s backwards. I want the latest response to be on top.

@Wayne-Workman The other half of the time, it’s a mixture of weird firmware on computers, or bad DHCP helper addresses, or rogue DHCP.

Some people will have redundant DHCP setup, and will only set their DHCP scope options on one and not the other… or a rogue is running and not handing out the right options… all kinds of craziness could be causing this.

@george1421 said in "Saving Partitions" - GPT to MBR issue:

Is it safe to assume bash doesn’t have a try catch function like try this command for 20 seconds, if the timeout is reached then abort the try?

It doesn’t, the closest thing is what I wrote below. I can make it more advanced with exit code checking but I’ve not dug that deep into it yet.

@imagingmaster21 I need model numbers.

On Ubuntu/Debian, a simple apt-get -y autoclean;apt-get -y autoremove is cleaner and will get more junk out.

What Linux distribution and version?

@x23piracy Dude you are hilarious, in a good way.

Confirmed working on Ubuntu 16 workstation with no critical errors.

Here is an installation and documentation article on the new FOG Client:

@fall711 said in FOG offline installation:

The problem is that centos repo system use random host with different IP address and some are not allowed.

You can easily specify exactly what mirror you want to use by commenting out the mirrorlist directive inside of all the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files and instead using the baseurl directive. Here’s a writeup on it, there are many others online too:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20390

Just pick a mirror nearby you, and explicitly define that. You will need to do the same for the remi repository as well:
https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/

There is never a problem that cannot be solved.

@Wayne-Workman I´ve tried changing the line:

• dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
  to
• dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe
  and then the clients say “tftp file not found”

You should tell it to use undionly.0
This is due to some bug somewhere… we aren’t sure if it’s a dnsmasq issue or a tftp issue or a FOG issue.

After setting dnsmasq to undionly.0, you would then copy (or symbolically link) the undionly.kpxe file to undionly.0

These files are located here:
/tftpboot/undionly.kpxe

At home, I just make a copy. But if you can figure out how to make a symbolic link work, then the installer will preserve this each time you upgrade.

You can copy like this:
cp /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0

You might find it educational to read through this thread: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5425/proxydhcp-issue
This person has a different issue than you, but a whole lot of stuff about dnsmasq is covered in there.

I see the value - I really do. I just never thought it a big burden to update keys via groups as needed. And I don’t manually type keys, I copy/paste. I think I remember putting keys into descriptions of some of our heavily used images at my last job for easy copy/pasting.

Maybe instead of continuing to invest in 1.3.x this could be worked on in 2.0 while efforts in 1.3.x focus on bug squashing ?

@coco65 said in FOG 1.3.0 Release Candidate 6:

It’s a great solution if your working under a tight budget.

I’d say it’s a lot more than that.

@trebor said in two clients same image:

How do I delete those ‘old’ backups? How do I purge by MAC address?

I asked you to run some DB commands that would probably fix this. Give them a shot please.

@cg2916 Why not just use “resizeable” image types? This image type was developed specifically for the problem you have. And if resizeable works, there’s absolutely no reason to not use it.

Or we could just ask the PartClone folks to create another argument for a custom display message… I’m going to go do that now.

Now with 32bit support for master storage nodes
Yeah, I was that guy. And thanks for getting it working, Tom!

This should also enable Raspbian to be a master storage node, too, since I think it’s 32bit on Raspberri Pi boards typically, I think?? I don’t know. I can’t wait to get my Pi in the mail! Much more power efficient than old Pentium 4 towers!

@zpoling This wiki article is literally written for that exact error (picture in the wiki even exactly matches):

Without imaging them? Uninstall the client and reinstall it, and entering the correct IP…
