Today is the day…

Awesome

@george1421 had the same that morning when i was answering to the mac address thread, i was on the pages with my smartphone, tried to use the search and got the same error like you.

@tom-elliott i can tell you this has worked for me before we setup that proxy, since the complete system has no problem to use the proxy i thougth maybe that php under apache isn’t respecting the fog proxy settings.

Talking to pushbullet api works with the example when trying in fogs shell, so this must be something internal.

Hi,

i am missing the code TAG when answering to a thread:

test

Hi,

@tom-elliott @Sebastian-Roth

this is still not solved for me, i am not able to add my account.
What i found out is that i am forced to use proxy, this allready works for the system except pushbullet plugin.

Is it possible that the pushbullet plugin is not honoring the fog settings proxy configuration and therefore cannot communicate to api.pushbullet.com?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5211887/how-to-use-curl-via-a-proxy

Example:

<?
$url = $_POST[‘1’];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, ‘66.96.200.39:80’);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,‘GET’);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_exec ($ch);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $curl_scraped_page;
?>

The guy at overflow is writing:

The bellow is from curl through proxy returns no content

This is interesting because when it doesn’t return something,
that could match to my error where the pushbullet account appears as dummy entry after i try to add it:

@george1421 said:

ok pushbullet in fog runs in PHP as the apache user.
It doesn’t have access to the environment variables you set

A dry run in shell with pushbullets test example works:

curl --header ‘Access-Token: <your_access_token_here>’
https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/users/me

@ch3i said in Cannot add pushbullet account (nothing happens when i click on add):

@x23piracy HI, I’ve you checked your apache log ?

Yes, it’s always empty regarding to pushbullet.

Regards X23

@george1421 hi, yes we did. a user enabled this on his own and we had’nt disabled that feature by gpo.
Maybe useful for people very often work in public wlan networks but for fog it’s contra productive.

@tom-elliott still not working same behaviour, i made you a video of the case, will send it by pm because my token is visible

@tom-elliott ok, i get back when done.

@tom-elliott said in Cannot add pushbullet account (nothing happens when i click on add):

@x23piracy Aren’t you on working branch?

i am still in working branch (49)

@tom-elliott still the same, i deleted all existing api tokens in my pushbullet account and created a new one.
When i enter it and click add nothing happens, when i wait long enough and click add again it tells me account already linked but it’s not.

Should i check apache error.log?

What i have now are two dummy entries without names, deleted them now.

Hi,

since some weeks or maybe months i cannot boot local from my pxe advanced menu anymore.
When i hit “Festplatte booten” the clients stick in the Advanced Menu (just screen flashes) it’s like i reentering the same menu again.

Below the lines i use in my menu (it’s shortened):

:MENU
menu
item --gap -- Company - PXE Boot Menu - JOS IT
item --gap --
item bootlocal Festplatte booten
item --gap --
item return <---
choose --default bootlocal --timeout 60000 target && goto ${target}
:bootlocal
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU

I already tried exit instead if sanboot but it’s not working.
Any idea?

Something else, what about the different exit types, are there more informations about them?

Why is there a difference between the exit types of legacy and efi?

Regards X23

Hi,

is there something i can do to adjust the output on screen when booting efi?
It seems that legacy booting is limited to a small resolution.

For example when i boot and deploy via legacy screen contents are filling the screen.
When i do this via EFI it seems the screen can run higher resolution and therefore the content is much smaller.

Are there options to adjust this? Some Kernel Args?

Regards X23

Well one of the most frequent feature requests of all time

@psycholiquid said in FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment):

Thats the problem though your buying the rights to use the OS not the license. The key stays with the machine no matter what so if you throw the machine away you throw away the OS. That is why they set it up the way they do. I’m not trying to argue, although it looks like I am just letting everyone know ahead of time I would hate to see backlash. I don’t agree with M$ at all but it is their world and we are just living in it.

As long as i own the machine, and i do and therefore feeling free to read any information whereever it’s stored as long as i don’t break any encryption or kind of protection this cannot be anything against a law, what ever whoever is writing into their EULA’s it’s up to the OEM and MS to protect this information if they really need this.

This sorry shit is only a try to gain their own profit against oem reselling or key stealing by removing a sticker or simply make a copy of the productkey only.

Windows as subscription will come

If the computers life time ends in our company we remove it from active directory, the antivirus software licensing and of course as host in the fog management, if done the key is been deleted, no fear ms i don’t collect your funny product keys

Regards X23

@psycholiquid you are correct and on the same point like @george1421 but please show which law should be broken by reading that information out of the bios, there is no. Please send me links with the fact, we don’t need to talk about reimaging OEM i know the fact but in the end this is my problem ;).

Last week i purchased a VL of Windows 10 Enterprise, i will become legal but there is a bit of work to do.

I really hate the way MS is pushing all the middle class into the enterprise sector!

We had a SAM examination 2 years ago, and it was really easy to please them The only thing you need to do is beeing coorporative with em. In the end we purchased some SQL licenses (we had to less of them) and had to dig for some invoices for computers with oem os (about 5 of each kind)

All that bullshit storys about MS is coming into your company are fables, i don’t know a single person/admin where that happened. With which right (law) would they gain house right for deeper inspections?

Regards X23

Hi,

just some seconds ago i could test it and it is working.
To enable this you have to switch to working branch and enable key reading in the fog options:

When i run a quick reg with a host that has a productkey in bios i get this:

Thank you Tom for this really fast realization of the feature.

Regards X23

@tom-elliott i will try to create a new one, i get back to you.

Solved in working branch. Thanks Tom.

@sunks what have you thougth when to sysprep? sure this needs to be done before you image.

@tom-elliott sorry sure its dev
