[20:32] <veenenen> hey everybody
[20:33] <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
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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.
[21:39] <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
[21:41] <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.
[21:42] <smoser> veenenen,
[21:42] <veenenen> i haven't tried waiting that long yet
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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".
[21:47] <smoser> i assume you have ssh'ed successfully to other instances ?
[21:47] <smoser> you have to have authorized (ec2-authorized) ssh port
[21:48] <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 .
[21:49] <smoser> basically, you've not given me much information above, and there are lots of opportunities for error.
[21:50] <veenenen> Are these raw images I can boot directly up in kvm?
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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.
[22:28] <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/
