[13:52] yeah. actually. [13:52] cause it asks if I'm willing to accept the user agreement..

[13:52] (i wouldn't know if it weren't for that bug) [13:52] hmm.. what's that? ) [13:53] oh. wait. wrong bug. [13:53] =) [13:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/634487 [13:54] <_mup_> Bug #634487: t1.micro instance hangs when installing sun java

[13:54] <_mup_> Bug #634487: t1.micro instance hangs when installing sun java

[13:54] well, I'm not installing it in a micro.. I just want to have a user-data (scirpt) that silently installs the sun-java [13:55] right [13:55] but that bug tells you how. [13:55] but when installing java, it needs user interaction, to accept the certificate [13:55] read it [13:55] oh, okay, thanks [13:55] let me have a look [13:55] in general, you can always do something like this to see: [13:55] apt-get install debconf-utils [13:55] debconf-get-selections > pre.txt [13:56] apt-get install [13:56] # answer prompts [13:56] debconf-get-selections > post.txt [13:56] diff -u pre.txt post.txt [14:02] well, actually here is what goes there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/496972/ [14:04] smoser: thanks [14:05] smoser: can I just put those options in a file, and then just say "debconf-set-selections file"? [14:06] you can, yes. [14:07] also, cloud-config has support for debconf-set-selections [14:07] what's cloud-config? let me try to run it ) [14:07] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/annotate/head%3A/doc/examples/cloud-config.txt [14:08] you can pass something like that as a user data [14:08] and it will handle having that stuff set up on first boot === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [14:09] aha, I see [14:09] thanks [15:01] smoser: is it possible to bundle an image from a running instance? [15:01] actually, I think I've seen that somewhere in the uec documentations.. [15:02] well, that is euca-bundle-vol [15:02] generally, i really dont like that (the 'un-booting' thing) [15:02] but... it should generally work. [15:35] smoser: how to find out if a CPU is VT compatible? [15:35] kvm-ok [15:36] oh, thanks [15:38] I want to set up a machine for cc AND nc.. and I have one separate machine for nc [15:39] kvm-ok says "INFO: your CPU supports KVM extentions \n INFO: /dev/kvm does not exits \n HINT: sudo modprobe kvm_intel \n KVM acceleration can NOT be used". Can it be used as a node? === 18VABJFG3 is now known as jfluhmann [15:40] progre55, you have kvm installed there ? [15:40] kvm should modprobe that for you [15:40] i think [15:40] let me modprobe [15:41] if you hvae qemu-kvm installed (which is a dependency of eucalyptus-nc) it will add an init script that will modprobe it for you [15:41] so that won't be an issue. this should work for you [15:41] oh, it says it's been disableb by bios [15:41] let me see what I can find in bios =) [15:46] I'm getting "FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-server/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported" when I modprobe.. [15:47] oh, it still says "kvm: disabled by bios" === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz [16:40] progre55, so you booted into bios and poked around ? [16:43] smoser: I cant find the KVM switch in the bios.. [16:43] and now trying to update my bios.. [16:43] cause some say that the old bios doesnt have the switch, although it supports KVM === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [17:13] smoser: finally =) === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [17:13] yeah! [17:13] now I'm setting it up as cc, nc, walrus, and etc ) [17:14] well, all the 4 =) [17:14] smoser: and hope I dont have to re-install my separate nc node, right? It will just detect the nc, I hope [17:18] i do not think that the clc will detect the node controller [17:18] but on install of the nc, (from CD) it will see the CLC and ask you if you want to register it [17:19] smoser: but my nc is already installed.. and I'm reinstalling the clc [17:19] will I have to re-install the node controller as well? [17:20] i dont know. you can definitely go through registration again. [17:20] (euca_conf --register-node) [17:21] sure, I'll try that [17:25] smoser: so btw, is there a way to bundle a running instance? [17:25] I answered above: well, that is euca-bundle-vol, generally, i really dont like that (the 'un-booting' thing) [17:28] oh I see [17:28] thanks [18:00] smoser: is it okay to give 3 cpu cores to an instance? I mean, to a type [18:00] or should it better be an even number of cores? [18:00] i really have no idea what would happen. [18:00] if libvirt would even allow it [18:00] well, I have 6 nodes available =) [18:00] I mean, cores [18:01] and wanted to distribute them equally among 2 instances =) [18:19] smoser: well, arright man, thanks a lot for all the support [18:19] my workday is over now =) [18:19] you can over commit your nodes [18:20] on the node controllers [18:20] #MAX_MEM=2048 [18:20] #MAX_CORES="2" [18:20] #MAX_DISK="100" [18:20] in /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf [18:20] oh [18:20] man eucalyptus.conf [18:20] that setting has to be modified on cores and then 'sudo restart eucalyptus-nc' and it should show up (eventually) in euca-describe-availability-zones verbose [18:21] ie, if you set MAX_CORES=16, it will pretend that that is a 16 way machine [18:22] aha, I see [18:22] thanks [18:22] let me try to set it before I leave ) [18:24] smoser: btw, will the running instances be terminated if I restart eucalyptus-nc? [18:24] i *think* no [18:25] well, let me try ) === sidnei_ is now known as sidnei [18:32] yep, works [18:32] but the instances were broken.. maybe because they were "pending" but not "running" when I restarted the node controllers =) [18:32] well, I'm off now [18:32] smoser: thanks for all the help again ) take care [19:04] howdy folks .. in the mood to answer some forum questions ? :) check those out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575971 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1570396 [19:51] smoser: hi! [19:51] hi [19:51] smoser: I've just noticed that tags can be used when starting instances from AWS console [19:52] smoser: is that something new? [19:52] smoser: are they available from cloud-init? [19:52] it depends what you mean by tags [19:52] http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/09/new-amazon-ec2-feature-resource-tagging.html [19:52] is new today [19:53] seriously, though, the console ? mathiaz... we have command line tools :) [19:54] smoser: indeed - that's what I saw today *in* the AWS console :) [19:54] smoser: I'm just using a different tool ;) [19:54] what support would you tihnk would be in cloud-init ? [19:57] smoser: can the tags be accessed? [19:57] smoser: for example to put the ssh_key_id in the tag? [19:58] i dont know if the tags can be accessed. [19:58] i dont knwo why you'd want the ssh_key_id in the tag [20:01] mathiaz, note, there were 4 features released today: http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/09/new-amazon-ec2-features-resource-tagging-idempotency-filtering.html [21:44] Are there any official UEC imanges that are EBS backed instead of the instance store? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [22:28] hi, it used to be possible to see the user-data script output in /var/log/syslog before cloud-init [22:28] how can I re-enable that behavior again with cloud-init enabled? [22:29] from a quick glance it should be possible to obtain that by having the runcmd key in the user-data [22:30] since it says that the output will appear on console output [22:55] uhm, that output in that case appears in ec2-get-console-output [22:55] although it's only the last X lines [23:54] agh... cloud-init is frustrating :(
