Deployment and Imaging Group

Hi,

I'm trying Linux PE boot for the first time (been using WINPE4) and have all the initial required setup ready. I have the Dell Latitiude E6440 Laptop booting into linux automation and registering to the DS console fine.

the DS and the Image folders also mount perfectly.

Now when i try and trigger imaging using the command line below - i get a "Error Number: (8027) Message: A GeneralException occurred"  error message.

Command line that i'm using on the laptop:

./Ghost -clone,MODE=restore,SRC=Baseimagexxxx.gho,DST=1 -sure

When i check the GHOSTERR.txt - it mentions - 

A runtime error occurred
Ghost can't load libX11, try running with -Blind

Generated at X11GD.

Any help is greatly greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Vikram

I would try using the -BLIND switch. Just modify the command line to be this:

./Ghost -clone,MODE=restore,SRC=Baseimagexxxx.gho,DST=1 -sure -blind

I'm not sure that will do much, but it's definitely worth trying since it was specifically called out in the error file. The description for -BLIND is:

"Prevents any GUI display. The blind switch must be used with switches that do not require any user input, for example, the clone switch. Using this switch lets you execute Ghost operations on a computer with no video adapter."

Hi Randall,

Will try this and post an update..

Thank you,

Vikram

This worked for me - thank you so much...

Cheers,

Vikram
