What distro & version of Linux are you running?

What I’d like to try next is manually changing (or creating) the WEB user “fog” with password = “password”

If we can just get you into the web console, you’re likely able to delete the old user and make a new one.
But I’m not sure of the SQL that is needed.

I’m going to look through the installation files for 1.2.0, I should be able to find the code that does it…

Here’s what snp.efi does…

Tom supplied me with the correct debug boot files (thank you thank you, I was so lost!)

Using ipxe.efi on the Dell 7010, I get this:

I did not make that file. I made it, inside the src directory… still getting errors though…

It starts building… stuff is happening… then…

If that doesn’t work, try this as seen here: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/cant-login-to-management-after-saving-fog-settings.12534/page-3#post-43757[/url]
[CODE]mysql -u root fog

Let us know.

Also, I have zero idea what I’m doing with this… it’s all totally foreign territory.

I tried following these:

I think I’m going to need a little more help doing this…

Have you rebooted since the last time it worked?

I’d recommend beginning by making sure the various services are running… and I’d check MySQL first.

[CODE]mysqladmin -u root -p status[/CODE]

The password will be blank unless you set one.

What version of FOG? what revision?

Just tried ipxe.efi with the Lenovo L530 using my home FOG server using dnsmasq.

It seems like it didn’t even get the file.

I did make a copy of ipxe.efi to ipxe.0
I did change the ltsp.conf file to point to ipxe.0
I did restart dnsmasq.

Also, this particular FOG server I just tested with works fine on other computers in the house using undionly.kpxe

r3232 fixed this.

Thank you, Tom.

He probably just Google searched the error code and wound up here…

I’m willing to help out, but that’s just because of my nature…

Fedora 21, FOG r3229

In the web GUI, when I add a new user called “wayne” and give it a password, I can not use that user to log into fog.

the password has no special characters, no numbers, no capitalization, no punctuation, just 9 alpha characters.

This would be the reason why I rebuilt my fog server… I locked myself out last time by creating this user, then deleting the fog user… I didn’t delete the fog user this time so I still have access.

So the moral of the story is to use ext4 ?

I worked on re-installing the OS and FOG last night. The permissions seem to be correct this time…

If I had to guess, I’d say that Fedora OS updates are to blame… Because this time around, the OS updates were the first thing I did.

this has fixed my problem on Debian 6.0.3, Debian 7.7, Debian 7.8.

This person is a member since June 2012… Pops out of nowhere with a solution… On their first post… lol gotta love it.

I’ve got code for that… (thanks Tom)

FOR THE RECORD, I like to document stuff… even if you know a lot about Linux (I don’t), I try to write things as if I’m helping someone who’s never used Linux in their life…

Debian 7

Empty out options 066 and 067 on your DHCP server.

For each file you want to try (highly recommend using either undionly.kpxe or ipxe.efi), you need to either symbolically link the file to FILENAME.0, or just copy it… they are so small anyways so I just copy them…

so… for undionly.kpxe:
[CODE]cp /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0[/CODE]

Then, you’ll need to configure dnsmasq (otherwise known as ProxyDHCP)
[CODE]vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf[/CODE]

[CODE]port=0
log-dhcp
tftp-root=/tftpboot
dhcp-boot=undionly.0,x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x
dhcp-option=17,/images
dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
dhcp-no-override
pxe-prompt=“Press F8 for boot menu”, 3
pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot from network”, undionly
pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot from local hard disk”, 0
dhcp-range=x.x.x.x,proxy[/CODE]

Change all the ‘sets’ of x’s to your FOG server’s IP. Note the line: dhcp-boot=undionly.0 You need to change the filename here for each one you try, in addition to making a copy of the ACTUAL file as /tftpboot/FILENAME.0 and then restart dnsmasq.

Quick reference for basic editing in vi:
i = go into insert mode, here you may use arrows to navigate text, and edit it with the keyboard as normal.
Esc (the escape key) = exit insert mode

WHEN NOT in insert mode you may use
:w (then enter) = write changes.
:q (then enter) = exit vi
:q! (then enter) = exit vi without saving changes.

Restart dnsmasq:
[CODE]/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart[/CODE]

Enable / Disable dnsmasq on boot:
[CODE]update-rc.d dnsmasq defaults[/CODE]
Or if using dependency boot:
[CODE]insserv -d dnsmasq[/CODE]

Well, firstly… I would suggest updating to trunk for this endeavor. The latest developmental revisions of FOG allow simple boot menu alteration. This functionality is built into the web interface.

Read about updating to trunk here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url]

Secondly, I’m not entirely sure about the process for what you want to do but, I think a really good starting place is looking through the forms for “Booting to ISO” and such, and following those. There are numerous threads here about it, all with different titles.

Basically,
You’ll need to add a menu item, and then point that item to 10.100.0.72 and nvlbnp.sys somehow.

Here are some that I found to get you started:

[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/pxe-boot-menu.12377/#post-41921[/url]
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/help-how-to-load-iso-with-http-ipxe.11935/#post-38574[/url]
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/add-iso-to-fog-server.11608/#post-36287[/url]
[url]http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe?s[]=winpe[/url]

You might even need to put that boot file in the web directory on the FOG server - I’m just guessing…
Maybe you’ll be able to point the menu item to the kernel/files that nvlbnp.sys actually calls…

I might play around with the idea this weekend… I have no idea if it’ll work or not…

If you find anything else or make progress, let us know. Also, check back here from time to time, others may reply as well with maybe better help.

This really should be do-able though, from what I can tell.

Look in the installation files.

I’m not sure for 1.2.0, but in trunk it’s something like /root/svn/trunk/fog/lib/<os here>/

Or something like that…

There are files in there. Functions.sh and another.
You can grep through those using output from this error. You should be able to locate where the calls are made really quickly.

BUT, before you do that…
You might want to wait for more experienced users to chime in because, those errors might be non-impacting, and you might not need to do anything.
