karlhegkreuter, that will show you what files it installed... see if it uses shell scripts to start the services.16:48
karlhegkreuter, ps wwwauxf | less16:48
karlhegkreuter, You'll see many services running as non-root users.16:49
kreuteram I reading you as saying that it's necessary to indirect through a shell script to run as non-root (i.e., the upstart configuration files don't have any special support for it?)16:50

kirklandlifeless: can you set static dhcp leases?19:26
lifelesswhen I installed UEC I told it 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.11019:26
kirklandlifeless: okay, and you told your dhcp server not to touch that range?19:26
lifelessas 'public addresses', but that seemed silly in hindsight: nothing could get to it19:26
lifelesskirkland: yah19:26
lifelessit allocates down in the 20's19:26
kirklandlifeless: yeah, we should work on that wording19:26
kirklandlifeless: sabdfl said he didn't like the wording either19:27
lifelessso, given I have 192.168.1.0/24 at home19:27
lifelessand complete control19:27
lifelessand I don't care what happens above (say) 8019:27
kirklandlifeless: okay19:27
lifelesswhat should I have put it ?19:27
kirklandlifeless: well, just any range of addresses that eucalyptus can assign to your vm's19:28
kirklandlifeless: and not conflict with ips that your dhcp server will dole out19:28
lifelessand by assign, it has them dhcp initially on virbr0, and then later on br0 ?19:28
lifelessbecause they seem to end up with my main dhcp server issuing ip addresses to them19:29
lifelessthey get 192.168.1.100   192.168.1.14   for example19:29
kirklandlifeless: grep VNET_MODE /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf19:30

glphvgacshi, apt-get install openssh-server says pkg is not avail. (samba karmic) /etc/apt/sources.list looks fine, I think19:30
kirklandlifeless: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Topologies19:30
kirklandlifeless: your topology is "1 Physical System"19:30
kirklandlifeless: see the notes there19:30
lifelessok, so I need to use SYSTEM ?19:31
kirklandlifeless: i have never personally installed this topology; it was actually Ng who told me this was actually possible, and added the entry to that wiki page19:31
kirklandlifeless: yes, according to Ng;  we might need his assistance to move you along much further19:31
kirklandlifeless: otherwise, you're welcome to attempt my suppositions19:31
jjohansensmoser: ogasawara updated the linux-ec2 meta package and it should be uploaded soon19:31
lifelessok, well I can switch to SYSTEM in a second now that I know of the 'CLEAN=' upstart parameter19:32
smoserjjohansen, so what happened ?19:32
smoserit appeared that the meta depended on a newer version that was available?19:32
kirklandlifeless: yes, CLEAN=119:32
kirklandlifeless: also ....19:32
lifelesskirkland: I'm guessing that the CC is expecting to issue 172.19.1.x addresses to the VM's19:33
kirklandlifeless: have you hit a problem where it takes a *really* long time to get your CLC to start responding to requests?19:33
lifelesskirkland: god yes19:33
kirklandlifeless: yes; the 172.* is the internal addresses that nodes can use to communicate with one another19:33
lifelesskirkland: and massive long waits for 'ec2 metadata server' on the console19:33
kirklandlifeless: and the 192.* is how external network users talk to the vms19:33
lifelesskirkland: and finally when it does come up the key doesn't seem to be on the vm19:33
kirklandlifeless: okay, I think have a fix for that19:33
kirklandlifeless: it's in the ~ubuntu-virt ppa, or I can give you a 2-line patch to add to your /etc/init/eucalyptus.conf19:34
kirklandlifeless: i'd like to SRU this fix, but I'm looking for someone to verify it ;-)19:34
lifeless2-line me baby19:34
kirklandlifeless: http://paste.ubuntu.com/373451/19:35
lifelessactually what do you mean by CLC to start.. just so that I know we're measuring the same thing.19:35
kirklandlifeless: just apply those two lines by hand19:35
kirklandlifeless: that's the full debdiff19:35
jjohansensmoser: I'm not sure.  This was the first round of updates to ec2 and the arm topic branches, there was a series of updates and the final abi is 304.10 so there was more than one thing missing19:35
kirklandlifeless: well, there's a boatload of related problems...  basically, takes a long time for the web interface on 8443 to respond19:35
kirklandlifeless: which stems from the fact that the CLC can't talk to the database19:36
lifelessah, no I see the API service timing out19:36
lifelessgiving permission errors19:36
kirklandlifeless: right, i think that's related19:36
lifelessand then it will come good19:36
lifelessok19:36
lifelessso thats applied19:36
lifelessrebooting - clean test for you19:36
kirklandlifeless: yeah, so the problem is that the ip connection tracker from iptables is not getting loaded before eucalyptus services come up19:36
kirklandlifeless: so network connections established before the network settles get dropped19:37
lifelessmakes sense19:37
kirklandlifeless: eventually (10-20 minutes later), everything resets, and it starts working again19:37
kirklandlifeless: those two iptables commands ensure that iptables comes up in time19:37
lifelessit'll be a sec before that machine comes back :)19:37
kirklandlifeless: no problem19:37

Mackhi19:40
lifelesskirkland: which service embeds the crazy dhcp server?19:40
tolikhi19:40
kirklandlifeless: the eucalyptus-cc19:40
kirklandlifeless: this is the "cluster controller"19:40
Mackcan anyone help me install the ioncube loaders?19:40
kirklandlifeless: nodes are associated with -cc's19:40
kirklandlifeless: well, nodes are associated with clusters19:41
kirklandlifeless: clusters are controlled by the cc19:41
kirklandlifeless: the cc doles out the dhcp addresses to the VMs19:41
kirklandlifeless: i *think* this should be disabled, though, when you're in SYSTEM mode19:41
kirklandlifeless: i *think* your networking is pretty much on your own, if you're in SYSTEM mode19:41
lifelesskirkland: so, to make MANAGED_NOVLAN work with a single machine19:42
kirklandlifeless: don't think it can be done19:42
lifelesskirkland: I don't see why not, iptables is sex19:42
lifelesskirkland: filter dhcp replies that are not from the cc and heading to nodes19:43
* Mack can't get the ioncube loaders installed no matter what i try19:43
kirklandlifeless: i defer to those with more iptables notches in their bedpost19:43
lifelesskirkland: I've made a note to try19:44
lifelessif I get it happy with something crude I'll let the devs polish it ;)19:45
kirklandlifeless: ack19:45
kirklandlifeless: okay, so your system is back up now?19:45
RoAkSoAxkirkland, Maybe you can help me out. What network management tools are good to monitor networks that implement the UEC and, by any chance, do you have any document on how network have changed to be used in UEC?19:45
lifelesskirkland: yes seeing if it hangs like before19:45
lifelesskirkland: the ugly hanging I was seeing appears gone19:46
lifelesskirkland: \o/19:46
kirklandlifeless: nice19:46
kirklandRoAkSoAx: docs are all under: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=UEC%2F&titlesearch=Titles19:46

kirklandlifeless: okay, i'll upload to -proposed19:47
kirklandlifeless: if you could update to that package and ack it at your earliest convenience, that would be shiny19:47
lifelesskirkland: sure, drop me a ping when its built in -proposed and I'll do that19:48

smoserwhat odes that mean?19:52
lifelesssmoser: I have one physical machine running sc, cc, nc, clc19:52
smoserif there is no metadata service (and i think som eof the Eucalyptus modes have no metadata service) than images in karmic will hang waiting for it.19:52
lifelesssmoser: its a test environment so that I can check a code change I'm making to a EC2 using project to UEC enable it works19:52
lifelesssmoser: its running in MANAGED_NOVLAN at the moment19:53
lifelesshow can I tell if the metadata service is running19:54
smoserwell, reading about that mode http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusNetworking_v1.5 and http://open.eucalyptus.com/forum/startup-scripts-vms , it "should" be running19:54
smoserbut it would appear that it is not.19:54
smoserlifeless, what i would suggest, for debugging is:19:54
smoser- mount image loopback19:55
Macksmoser: you know how to install ioncube?19:55
smoser(this is karmic, right)?19:55
lifelesskirkland: note that I will need to get MANAGED_NOVLAN working :P19:55
lifelesssmoser: yes19:55
smoserkarmic instance19:55
smoserright?19:55
smosermount image loopback19:55
lifelesskarmic on karmic19:55
lifelessemi-E027107D specifically19:56
smosermodify  /etc/ec2-init/is-compat-env (or remove it -- i think thats the file, i have19:57
smoserand put your public ssh keys manually into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (or /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys)19:57
smoserumount image19:57
smoserupload image, register, boot19:58
smoserthen, i think that what you will find is that there is no metadata service.19:58
lifelessso, the metadata service is 169.254.169.254 8773 ?19:58
smosermetadata service is a web service that runs on http://169.154.169.254 forom the guests point of view19:58
smosershouldn't be 8773, should be 8019:59
smoserand its per-instance data19:59
smoserso each instance has a different world view of that web service19:59
lifelesssmoser: its dnatted to 877319:59
lifelessI totally agree it should be port 80 :)19:59

smoseridont know.20:00
lifelessok20:00
lifelessI'll follow this thread20:00
smoseryou'd have to see how its configured elsewhere.20:00
lifelessI suspect insufficient mangling in iptables20:00
smoserbut seriously, mount hte image and modify it as i suggested.20:00
lifelesswill do20:00
smoserthen you should be able to ssh to it and poke around from inside20:00
smoserfwiw, there is a package now https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-utils that has some scripts to make publishing an image easier.20:01
smosermainly 'uec-publish-image' might be of use. its one command for bundle upload register20:01
kirklandsmoser: saaaaweeet20:02
kirklandsmoser: i so need that20:02
kirklandlifeless: send along patches, if you have any20:02
kirklandlifeless: and, of course, I'll note that the lucid packages are ***far*** better than the karmic ones :-)20:03
lifelesskirkland: do they depend on other changes in karmic ?20:04
lifelesskirkland: or could I reasonably sensibly snarf eucalyptus-* from lucid?20:04
kirklandlifeless: hrm ...  well, there's a few jars and libraries that have been updated20:05
smoserlifeless, also, i'm sure that kirkland and i are not the only people that would love to see "all in one system" working20:05
kirklandlifeless: so i can't quite recommend that yet20:05
kirklandlifeless: and we haven't yet solved the karmic -> lucid euclayptus upgrade path yet20:05
lifelesskirkland: so you're going to tease me. Fffffiine20:05
kirklandlifeless: well, just saying :-)20:05
smoserbut then as soon as you get that someone is going to want you to do it with virtual-box, or no-hardware-virt ...20:05
lifelessseriously though, I don't care about upgrade20:05
kirklandlifeless: and warning not to live-upgrade to lucid yet and expect UEC to work20:06
lifelessI can purge the packages and start over, if it is likely to make a different20:06
lifeless*difference*20:06
smoseri suspect that there is a bug with the metadata service in this setup.20:06
lifelesssmoser: I'm sure there is, I have money on iptables20:06
Mackso nobody here knows how to install ioncube? :(20:06
lifelessMack: I don't even know what it is.20:06
Macklifeless: stupid encoder php devs use so you cant steal their code20:07
Mackbut the loader required to use encoded files is such a pain to install20:07
smoserMack, sorry , i had no idea what it was either.20:07
Macknobody knows what it is, and the ioncube support site sucks :(20:08
kirklandencoding php files sounds like an awful idea; i'll avoid ioncube20:08
kirklandlifeless: i can try to push eucalyptus to a karmic ppa and see if it builds, if you like20:09
kirklandlifeless: i just haven't even tested the build, so i don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes20:09
lifelesskirkland: please!20:10
lifelesskirkland: that would rock20:10
kirklandlifeless: pushed to ~kirkland ppa for karmic20:15
smosermathiaz, ping20:16

smoserie, its ok for me to build-depend or runtime depend on universe20:16
kirklandlifeless: you *might* need a newer euca2ools too20:17
kirklandsmoser: i doubt we're looking for main inclusions on those libraries20:17
lifelesskirkland: you know what to do :)20:17
kirklandlifeless: heh20:17
smoseryou "should not" need a newer euca2ools20:18
smoserthat is something that actually needs to function, as the api has not changed so we will need to support older euca2ools clients interacting with lucid euca20:18
lifelesswhats the poll frequency on the wait-for-metadata thing20:20
kirklandlifeless: euca2ools karmic build pushed to same ppa20:22
lifelesskirkland: thanks20:22

lifelesshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Topologies#preview22:12
kirklandlifeless: do you have a list of hacks required?22:12
lifelesskirkland: no hacks22:12
lifelesskirkland: the PackageInstall instructions created a bad config22:12
lifelessbecause eucalyptus is a tad redundant with the live system config, changing that config means you need to also change eucalyptus - specifically putting stuff onto br0 not eth022:13
Nglifeless: did you get your one-machine setup going?22:14
lifelessNg: yes22:15
lifelesseasy once I finished reverse engineering what it was doing22:15
lifelessNg: I've rewritten the one machine topology notes22:16
kirklandlifeless: cheers, thanks22:17
kirklandNg: i'm curious why the Bug:123456 works on wiki.ubuntu.com, but not on wiki.ubuntu.com/community ?22:17
lifelesskirkland: no probs; let me know if anything is unclear. I'm happy to write more prose if you want.22:17
kirklandNg: are they different instances?22:17
kirklandlifeless: thanks for documenting; i might bust those config instructions out to a separate page, and link to it from the Topologies page22:18
lifelesskirkland: pretty sure they are, yeah.22:18
mathiazkirkland: are you still doing testing with tamarind?22:18
kirklandlifeless: just to keep the Topos page simple22:18
lifelesskirkland: sure22:18
kirklandmathiaz: i've been side tracked; i need to run the tests on the current Topo/install22:18
lifelesskirkland: I'm going to blog as well I think22:18
kirklandlifeless: thanks for doing in any case22:18
kirklandlifeless: please do ;-)22:19
mathiazkirkland: ok - do you plan to reinstall soon?22:19
kirklandmathiaz: let me kick the test ...22:19
* kirkland puts everyone else on pause22:19
mathiazkirkland: I'd like to test the new code I added for installation22:19
kirklandmathiaz: how long does your tests take to run?22:19
mathiazkirkland: I don't want to *reinstall* the UEC now22:19
kirklandmathiaz: oh22:19
mathiazkirkland: just test that the layout on tamarind is correct22:20
kirklandmathiaz: okay, i won't be reinstalling now22:20
mathiazkirkland: great - thanks22:20
kirklandmathiaz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/373535/22:21
mathiazkirkland: hmm - twisted is not installed on tamarind22:21
mathiazkirkland: hm wait22:21
mathiazkirkland: where did you run that command?22:21
lifelessis there a simple way to get the root user enabled in the UEC images?22:21
kirklandmathiaz: kirkland@tamarind:~/uec_testing/testing$  ./uec_test.py -c config_single.yaml22:22
mathiazkirkland: right - you can't run the test on tamarind22:22
kirklandmathiaz: oh, i need to be on the CLC22:22
mathiazkirkland: because the euca2ools commands are not there22:22
mathiazkirkland: yop22:22
mathiazlifeless: hm - we're really trying to avoid the use of the root account on UEC images22:23
Nglifeless: I'm curious now what I did to make it work. I wasn't really making notes at the time22:25
Ngkirkland: as far as I know they're the same wiki22:26
Nglifeless: ah yes, I set my bridge up identically to how you've done it. The only difference is I didn't bother even trying MANAGED_NOVLAN, I just went for SYSTEM so the nodes would appear as any other machine on my LAN22:28
lifelessmathiaz: you may be trying to avoid it, but umpteen million third party tools assume it is where the key is loaded when you use EC222:28
NgI hope you have something significantly more useful to do with you local cloud than I do. I only really set it up to see if I could ;)22:28
lifelessNg: making Hudson run with UEC22:29
lifelesswhich it looks like it would, if root was usable.22:29
mathiazlifeless: what do you mean by the key is loaded?22:29
lifelesseuca-run-instances -k mykey emi-E027107D22:29
lifelessinstalls a ssh key to use to log into the machine and $do $stuff22:29
mathiazlifeless: if you use the ubuntu account instead, you'll have passwordless sudo22:29
lifelessmathiaz: yes, but that means changing about 4 layers of code and writing a UI to say 'use the ubuntu account and do sudo'22:30
mathiazlifeless: right - the root account is disabled in the Ubuntu images - instead use the ubuntu account with sudo22:30
lifelessmathiaz: which is _not_ the same as EC222:30
dasunsrule32I am having a grub issue I believe, I cannot boot into the system. I have a seperate part for /boot on /dev/sda5, / is /dev/sda6. How can I go about getting this to boot again?22:30
mathiazlifeless: well - it's not the same as the images published in EC222:30
lifelessright22:30
lifelessthus it gets in the way of 'seamless transition'22:30
* lifeless whinges some more22:31
TrickFinlay2clear22:31
TrickFinlay2ooops sorry22:31
mathiazlifeless: right - we had that discussion at the very begining22:31
lifelessmathiaz: can one take the AMI's from EC2 and just use them ?22:32
mathiazlifeless: on one hand there is the Ubuntu policy that says: not root account enabled by default22:32
mathiazlifeless: OTOH there is the fact that EC2 images are run with the root account by default22:32
mathiazlifeless: yes22:32
lifelessmathiaz: I can see the rationale, I'm just expressing my displeasure at the time and effort it is costing me; and the suspicion I have that it will add this cost and overhead to many other users too22:33
mathiazlifeless: it's an issue with the image itself and its sets itself up22:33
mathiazlifeless: running an unmodified EC2 EMI should work22:33
mathiazlifeless: *porting* an application to run on an UEC image requires some work22:34
lifelessmathiaz: This means that you can't seamless transition though: when you exceed UEC capacity you need to move to a different image to spill onto EC222:34
lifelessmathiaz: thats the bit I have trouble understanding why we did this22:34
mathiazlifeless: not really - the image that is running on UEC can be rebundled to EC222:35
mathiazlifeless: the part that sets the ssh key for the root|ubuntu account is done by the image itself22:35
lifelesssure, if you weren't using vanilla images22:35
lifelessmathiaz: yes, I am aware of that, it looks it up in the 16KB user data region or thereabouts.22:36
TrickFinlay2if I want to install JeOS from my 9.10 CD, is it F4 -> OEM install?22:36
lifelessmathiaz: given that UEC lives behind a firewall, I don't really see that avoiding root is really important.22:38
* lifeless adds this to his blog post22:39
mathiazlifeless: well - it's a policy in Ubuntu to not enable the root account by default22:41
lifelessthen the EC2 Ubuntu images should not enable it either ;)22:41
mathiazlifeless: whether you're behind a firewall or not is irrelevant here22:41
mathiazthe EC2 Ubuntu images don't have the root account enabled by default22:41
lifelessmathiaz: I think it is relevant, because the policy exists to solve specific problems, not as a fait accompli22:41
lifelessTrickFinlay2: its ubuntu-vm-builder these days22:42
lifelessTrickFinlay2: there is a wiki page about it.22:42
dindasommer: ping - you around?22:43
mathiazlifeless: hm - I'm not sure I get your point22:44
mathiazlifeless: none of the products in Ubuntu have the root account enabled by default22:44
mathiazlifeless: we decided that images published to EC2 and for UEC should behave the same way as any other Ubuntu product22:44
lifelessmathiaz: I thought based on your earlier comment that the Ubuntu official EC2 AMI's put the supplied key into the root account22:44
mathiazlifeless: oh no - I don't think so22:45
lifelessmathiaz: if they don't, then thats fine, its not a difference22:45
mathiazlifeless: I didn't not express myself correctly22:45
lifelessstill annoying to find bugs where folk assume it goes into root on EC2, but not unique to UEC in that case22:45
erichammondlifeless: http://alestic.com/2009/04/ubuntu-ec2-sudo-ssh-rsync22:45
mathiazlifeless: yes - that's one of the difference the Ubuntu images and other images22:46
erichammondlifeless: If you ssh to root@ on an official Ubuntu image on EC2, it prints out a message pointing you to use ubuntu@ instead.22:46
mathiazlifeless: you'd have to adapt your deployment/configuration scripts to use the ubuntu account when you deploy to an Ubuntu image22:46
lifelessmathiaz: yeah22:47
lifelesserichammond: thanks22:47
erichammondlifeless: In the above article I also describe one command which can enable the root ssh if you really want to use the EC2 standard instead of the Ubuntu  standard.22:47
erichammondI don't think I've been excommunicated yet for listing that.22:48
lifelessAs I need to change third party code anyhow22:48
jMyles_I'm interested in using subversion on my ubuntu-server, but I don't know where to begin.22:48
lifelessI'm just going to teach it how to use an arbitrary username22:48
lifelessand a command prefix when running admin code22:48
erichammondlifeless: The older community Ubuntu AMIs I published used ssh to root@ because I didn't think I could as an unknown individual sway the EC2 community to adopt the Ubuntu standard, but when Canonical started publishing AMIs, I encouraged them to do it the consistent (Ubuntu) way.  It did require a lot of back and forth and a compromise with passwordless sudo, but I am happy with the result.22:50
lifelessok22:52
lifelessI was semi ranting because of the wrong end of the stick; I thought we were publishing UEC images differently to EC2 ones.22:52
lifeless*that* would be very hard to justify22:52
lifelessnow I'm totally happy (though still with code changes to make to get this thing working)22:53
erichammondlifeless: Not only is the behavior the same with EC2 and UEC, but the images themselves are exactly the same, except for the kernel.22:54
erichammondlifeless: Can you share what product you're working on?22:54
