I created a super basic implementation of a self-service portal using the API, it works in a pinch but I wouldn't use it in production without heavy improvement. Mostly just curiosity about what's possible with the API

I did some digging and it appears bootType is being incorrectly detected as legacy, so the script is formatting the drive as MBR. $env:firmware_type contains the correct value, EFI. I found that the boot type is determined using Confirm-SecureBootUEFI, interpreting a failure to run as legacy boot. This system does not support secure boot, causing Confirm-SecureBootUEFI to crash, although it does use UEFI. Is there a reason Confirm-SecureBootUEFI is used instead of $env:firmware_type for the boot type?

I'm having issues deploying an image onto a specific device model, other devices are fine. It seems to be a problem with partitioning, but I can't figure out why.

I'm trying to download the update for 1.5.6, but it's being detected as a virus by my machine. VirusTotal isn't happy about it either: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/1f6cc11bec13944ab4a15a860f3bdf6388781e6acb144de41069f52cb883a4de/details

Is this the correct file? I checked previous versions and they do not have the same warnings. What changed that's triggering all these AVs?

mzprays

@mzprays https://docs.theopenem.com/changelog/version-history.html#154-6-2-23 ah, nevermind

mzprays

I found this, is there another way to access the help?

mzprays

@theopenem_admin Was this added in a release? I'm running into the same problem. I'm unsure how to script a condition as well, where can I find that?

mzprays

Nevermind, it fixed itself.

Just installed a new instance of Theopenem, and after getting through the setup process, I'm not seeing the "i" icon in the top right of each page with the documentation. In the HTML, it's there, but commented out, and uncommenting it and clicking it does nothing. Did I miss something in the setup process? I went back and checked all the steps.

Yeah, thought it might be good to point out. The documentation on that page also says nothing about the uploads right there, it actually points to a file copy module.

mzprays

@theopenem_admin That worked, thank you! I didn't know I could reference files uploaded there like that, I tried .\ and it didn't work.

I am trying to run a command module using a file path from a copy file module. Using toec.exe --console, I can see that the command is running with the proper file path and immediately failing. Logs:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

It looks like it is failing because of the space in Program Files not being properly escaped. Is there a fix for this?

Update, I have tried the same thing with a Windows 10 VM as well, with the same results, except that it gets stuck at 15.19%. I am using the Linux imaging environment.

mzprays

Hello! I'm trying to capture a Windows 11 image from a VM. I have booted to the ISO and started a capture, but it gets to 8.52% on the boot partition and stops. The percentage stays at 8.52%, and the average speed slowly approaches zero. What's the troubleshooting process for this?

mzprays

Alright, thanks. I'll continue as is for now and see if the connections becomes a problem.

mzprays

Okay, makes sense. Will I still be unable to access the web interface from localhost? Also, where is the database? Will that just be a file copy, or do I need to do a SQL export or something?
