Hi, I’ve loaded a new IPXE .png file to my Fog and change the value in the web settings. But my picture is not loaded at boot. I have the same dimensions than the bg.png (800/600) but my file is a little more heavy (45KB). Any idea ?

I’ve done it !
The “old” fog.auto.reg is :

if [[ -f "/bin/fog.customhostname" ]]; then
    . /bin/fog.customhostname
fi

if [[ -f /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM ]]; then
    productKey=$(tail -c+57 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | base64)
fi
while [[ -z $res ]]; do
    res=$(curl -Lks --data "host=${host_default_name}&sysserial=${sysserial}&sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac&productKey=${productKey}" ${web}service/auto.register.php 2>/dev/null)

Here is the trick :

while [[ -z $res ]]; do
        host=${host_default_name}
        host=$(echo $host | base64)
        res=$(curl -Lks --data "host=$host&sysserial=${sysserial}&sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac&productKey=${productKey}" ${web}service/auto.register.php 2>/dev/null)

We have to convert to base64 and then send to the script. It works like a charm.
I suceeded when I inspected the fog.man.reg.fix Here is what helped me :

while [[ $res != "#!ok" ]]; do
    if [[ $host_default_name != "" ]]; then
        read -p " * Enter hostname for this computer [$host_default_name]: " host
    else
        read -p " * Enter hostname for this computer: " host
    fi
    host=${host:-$host_default_name}
    if [[ ${#host} -gt 15 ]]; then
        host=${host:0:15}
        echo " | Truncated to 15 characters: $host"
        usleep 2000000
    fi
    host=$(echo $host | base64)
    res=$(curl -Lks --data "host=$host" ${web}service/hostnameloop.php 2>/dev/null)
    [[ $res != "#!ok" ]] && echo "$res"


done

Those line
host=${host:-$host_default_name}
host=$(echo $host | base64)
res=$(curl -Lks --data "host=$host" ${web}service/hostnameloop.php 2>/dev/null)

Thank you very much for your help

I can see other wanting this feature too. I know I personally missed it since the FOG v0.30 days.

Without you, impossible to implement this feature. Thanks a lot
