[18:40] I already got the IP address, what exactly should I type in terminal (never used SSH before). [18:42] Anyone? [18:42] It's already running on the cloud so the timer is going down. [18:43] sonia_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/ConnectingTo [18:43] Yep, I saw that. Should I use my username on my computer then? [18:43] Or sonia@soniadesktop and then the IP address [18:44] sonia_: What cloud? [18:44] EC2 I think. I wanted to try it out so it's running on the Amazon cloud [18:45] I get a connection time out if I use [user]@[IP address] [18:45] sonia_: What AMI id did you run? [18:45] AMI? [18:45] Base Install if that's what you mean [18:45] Ubuntu version? [18:46] I was running the trial, server. [18:46] The one here https://10.cloud.ubuntu.com/ [18:46] sonia_: Ah, thanks. [18:46] So how do I log in? [18:47] sonia_: Did you use an existing launchpad.net account? [18:47] Yep [18:47] sonia_: ssh ubuntu@IPADDRESS [18:47] it should use your ssh key from launchpad [18:47] do you still have the private key that goes with the one in launchpad for your account? [18:47] sonia_: or, you can specify your ssh key file: ssh -i KEYFILE ubuntu@IPADDRESS [18:48] Um, okay I'll try that [18:51] Still getting this ssh: connect to host 174.129.130.30 port 22: Connection timed out [18:51] Does the cloud use a different port or something? [18:52] sonia_: Either you have the wrong IP address, or 10.ubuntu.com is not setting up the instance/security group correctly. [18:52] er, 10.cloud.ubuntu.com [18:53] Yeah, the website then because during the entire session you can see the IP on the bottom [18:53] sonia_: Though "free" sounds attractive, you can easily set up an AWS account and try it yourself for under a dime an hour. [18:53] Does Launchpad have a delay on registering your SSH key? [18:53] sonia_: Your key has nothing to do with the current problem you are seeing. [18:53] Once you put it in. === Hussain is now known as Hussain_Away [18:53] Okay, so it's purely a connection issue? [18:54] Yep [18:54] I understand. [18:54] Um...I guess I'll just install it on my machine then :) [18:55] sonia_: There's nothing to install with EC2. You can sign up here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ [18:56] Okay, thanks man! [18:56] sonia_: or, perhaps you're talking about UEC which is completely different from Amazon EC2? [18:56] UEC is a different version of the OS no? [18:57] sonia_: UEC is some software you run on your own hardware. EC2 is infrastructure as a service provided by Amazon. You can run Ubuntu on both. [18:58] I see, UEC is also for cloud computing though no? I mean, all I wanted was to test drive Ubuntu Server, I have no need for a cloud. [18:58] With EC2, Amazon owns and maintains the hardware. You rent by the hour and have root access to your own Ubuntu servers. [18:59] "cloud" is a meaningless marketing term as far as I'm concerned. If you describe what you are trying to accomplish I might be able to point in a direction. [19:00] I actually just wanted to test out Ubuntu Server. [19:00] sonia_: Do you have your own hardware you want to run it on? [19:01] I'm gonna be setting up only one machine with that, and use it to run an FTP server. [19:01] Yes. [19:02] sonia_: Ok, then you really don't need "cloud" of any sort. Just download Ubuntu, burn a CD, and install it on that box. More help available over in #ubuntu-server [19:02] Yes, thanks for all the help. [19:02] sonia_: Though I do recommend checking out Amazon EC2 with Ubuntu at some point. You could run an FTP server there pretty cheap and not have to worry about hardware. [19:02] How cheap? [19:03] sonia_: It depends on how much power you need, bandwidth, etc. EC2 charges you for what you use. [19:03] Okay, I see. Thanks for all the help. [19:04] sonia_: It could be as cheap as, say, $70/month [19:04] http://ec2pricing.notlong.com [19:05] I think I'll pass on that, it's not like I'm going to be running a business with it. [19:08] the micro instance is less than that isn't it? [19:09] Alright, I think I'm gonna go. Thanks for all the help. [19:09] of is the micro instance $0.10/hr? [19:42] mhall119: micro is cheaper, but you should toss in a penny or two for EBS volume storage, EBS snapshots, EBS IO requests, network traffic, etc. [19:43] I don't recommend using EC2 if the hourly charge is at the upper limit of your budget.
