| veenenen | hey everybody | 20:32 |
|---|---|---|
| veenenen | I'm trying to wrap up a server image on my kvm server to send up to ec2 and I'm having a little trouble | 20:33 |
| veenenen | I setup the same partitions, very similar kernels, same ubuntu versions, cleared out the mac addresses, and I still can't ssh into the box after I launch it on ec2 | 20:35 |
| veenenen | Are there any good tutorials on this that I'm just not finding? I've done everything that I've seen listed so far. | 20:36 |
| smoser | veenenen, i dont know of a really good tutorial. | 21:39 |
| smoser | do you get console output when you attempt to boot your image ? | 21:39 |
| veenenen | no | 21:39 |
| veenenen | it recognizes the kernel on the web interface, but I'm not getting any console output yet | 21:39 |
| smoser | ok. well, you wont see output to the console for 4 minutes (maybe 5) | 21:41 |
| smoser | but fter that you should see kernel messages. | 21:41 |
| smoser | at very least. | 21:41 |
| smoser | veenenen, | 21:42 |
| veenenen | i haven't tried waiting that long yet | 21:42 |
| veenenen | is there anything more then the stuff I've listed above that I need to do | 21:45 |
| veenenen | I also went though and install pretty much every package that said ec2 in it just to be sure | 21:45 |
| veenenen | *installed | 21:45 |
| veenenen | i haven't disabled the clock yet, but as long as that doesn't stop it from booting, I don't really care about that right now | 21:46 |
| smoser | well, you will get no console output of ec2 until 4 minutes after machine goes to running. | 21:46 |
| smoser | they dont update the console "live". | 21:46 |
| smoser | i assume you have ssh'ed successfully to other instances ? | 21:47 |
| smoser | you have to have authorized (ec2-authorized) ssh port | 21:47 |
| veenenen | yeah | 21:48 |
| veenenen | I've added my key to the authorized_keys file and make sure the port is open | 21:48 |
| smoser | if you're just wanting to build a custom image, I would really suggest starting with an image from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com . | 21:48 |
| smoser | basically, you've not given me much information above, and there are lots of opportunities for error. | 21:49 |
| veenenen | Are these raw images I can boot directly up in kvm? | 21:50 |
| smoser | they're raw disk images | 21:51 |
| smoser | well, partition images. | 21:51 |
| smoser | which can be problematic for booting in kvm. you can do it, but you have to modify some things. | 21:51 |
| smoser | for maverick images, i did some work to make them boot under kvm | 21:51 |
| smoser | so that you could accomplish what you're wanting | 21:51 |
| smoser | there is information on that at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Images | 21:52 |
| veenenen | these should be perfect. I used to use xen, so I've worked with the partition images before | 21:52 |
| veenenen | thank you | 21:52 |
| smoser | so, what i would suggest is taking one of those as a starting point | 21:52 |
| smoser | and recording everything you need to do to it. | 21:53 |
| smoser | then taking a clean image, do only those things, and go from there. | 21:53 |
| smoser | you can *boot* one of those images on ec2 with AMI information on uec-images also. | 21:53 |
| smoser | good luck. | 21:53 |
| veenenen | hey, before I abandon my old image, I thought I'd post the error message and see if it's worth continuing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/490572/ | 22:28 |
