| Makere | why I get randomly "unable to mount root filesystem" on VM's? | 06:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Makere | General error mounting filesystems | 07:04 |
| flaccid | what VMs are these | 07:09 |
| flaccid | i'm off | 07:18 |
| Loof | Quick question, are there any tools to reset an instance (clear cloud-init locks, hostname, etc) and prep for bundling a 'clean' AMI? | 07:37 |
| Ashtray777 | Hey | 07:39 |
| Ashtray777 | What do you fellows think about CompTIA Linux+ | 07:39 |
| Makere | what's that? :P | 08:08 |
| Makere | anyways, anyone done ubuntu desktop installation on kvm and bundled into cloud, anything special I need to do? | 08:09 |

| Makere | stuck on pending ._. | 12:52 |
| kim0 | Makere: I just started an Ubuntu AMI and made it Ubuntu desktop. http://foss-boss.blogspot.com/2010/11/show-off-ubuntu-desktop-on-cloud.html | 13:21 |
| Makere | thanks | 13:22 |
| Makere | is it possible to increase the partition inside a VM | 13:31 |
| Makere | kim0: I run out of space when trying to install ubuntu-desktop | 13:41 |
| TeTeT | Makere: you want to use a bigger instance type, like c1.medium or somesuch with 10G + \ | 14:09 |
| TeTeT | Makere: I guess you're on 10.04? Or 10.10? | 14:09 |
| Makere | 10.0 | 14:09 |
| Makere | 10 | 14:09 |
| Makere | 10.10* | 14:10 |
| Makere | so hard to type lol | 14:10 |
| Makere | I'm running bigger instance | 14:10 |
| Makere | but the filesystem partition is always just over 1.5gigs | 14:10 |
| TeTeT | Makere: he he, so your container should be 10G each, you can check with df -h | 14:10 |
| TeTeT | Makere: can you use resizefs to increase the size? Never done that actually and it is an interesting problem to encounter | 14:11 |
| Makere | can't because the filesystem is in use | 14:11 |
| TeTeT | Makere: hmm, what if you use -f? | 14:13 |
| TeTeT | Makere: given that you're just testing, aren't you? and an instance is cheap anyway | 14:13 |
| Makere | well I sorta gave up on | 14:13 |
| Makere | it | 14:13 |
| Makere | and now running KVM inside an instance | 14:13 |
| Makere | :DDD | 14:13 |
| Makere | sorry my life is destroyed by could | 14:15 |
| Makere | cloud* | 14:15 |
| TeTeT | Makere: it still is an interesting problem. Maybe smoser has an idea how to achieve that, to increase the filesystem size of / of the AMI to be big enough for Ubuntu Desktop | 14:23 |

| smoser | Makere, where are you running this instance ? UEC ? | 14:26 |
| smoser | Makere, i'm guessing you're urunning on UEC, and that you've uploaded one of the ubuntu images. they've got a 1.4G filesystem by default to fit into the default UEC small of 2G. | 14:35 |
| smoser | you can resize that up and re-register | 14:36 |
| smoser | download tarball, then : uec-publish-tarball --resize 6G downloaed-tar-file.tar.gz my-new-bucket amd64 | 14:36 |
| kim0 | pretty simple huh :) | 14:37 |
| TeTeT | smoser: awesome, great to read that uec-publish-tarball has the magic | 14:39 |
| kim0 | #start Ubuntu Cloud Q+A gathering | 15:01 |
| kim0 | Hi everyone | 15:01 |
| kim0 | If you're here to attend this Q+A meeting, please say Hi | 15:03 |
| kim0 | hmm .. slow day :) | 15:05 |
| kim0 | well .. If anyone has any thoughts or comments that relate to Ubuntu in the cloud .. now is a good time to start a discussion | 15:06 |
| orangeacme | what gathering is this? | 15:12 |
| orangeacme | my main thought is: "Ubuntu is perfect for the cloud" ;-) | 15:13 |
| kim0 | orangeacme: hehe | 15:13 |
| kim0 | orangeacme: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloudMeeting | 15:13 |
| kim0 | orangeacme: this is a weekly gathering for everyone interested in ubuntu and the cloud | 15:14 |
| kim0 | basically to ask questions .. share experiences and connect | 15:14 |
| kim0 | orangeacme: so how are you using ubuntu in the cloud | 15:14 |
| orangeacme | a few VMs in ec2. all working great as expected | 15:16 |
| orangeacme | i was going to bring up https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-on-ec2/+bug/670161 | 15:17 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 670161 in ubuntu-on-ec2 "10GB root partition for EBS boot AMIs on EC2" [Medium,Fix committed] | 15:17 |
| orangeacme | but it looks like that is underway | 15:17 |
| kim0 | orangeacme: Yeah | 15:17 |
| smoser | orangeacme, expecting those probably by end of next week as released | 15:17 |
| smoser | remember, you can use an ami from -daily and if it happens to fit your bill, you just have to know that that ami-id might disappear in the future. | 15:18 |
| smoser | that will have no ill affects on your instances that yo'uve already launched, just stop you from launching them in the future | 15:18 |
| orangeacme | this is where i thank everyone for their hard work | 15:18 |
| * kim0 hugs orangeacme | 15:19 | |
| kim0 | smoser is da man :) | 15:19 |
| kim0 | smoser so we're standardizing on 8G AMIs ? | 15:19 |
| smoser | yes, per amazon recommendation. | 15:19 |
| kim0 | Awesome | 15:19 |
| smoser | EBS root will be 8G, instance store will be 10 | 15:20 |
| kim0 | Landscape gets a yummy new look http://blog.landscape.canonical.com/2010/11/30/our-new-look/ | 15:23 |

| niemeyer | Neat | 15:41 |
| Makere | smoser: oh neat, you can resize it | 16:05 |
| smoser | the way ec2 and uec work is that you get a root filesystem of whatever size was uploaded. | 16:06 |
| smoser | our images are, by default, 1.4G for UEC consumption, so the "small" size can run there (which has 2G disk allocated) | 16:07 |
| Makere | I thought I'd have to whip out parted and do resizing somehow manually | 16:07 |
| smoser | if you register a larger root disk (ie, using --resize) it will not run in a m1.small | 16:07 |
| smoser | Makere, no, its just much easier than that because it is a raw partition image rather than a disk image. | 16:07 |
| smoser | so you can just truncate the file larger, and then call resize2fs on it | 16:08 |
| smoser | (which is what uec-resize-image does) | 16:08 |
| Makere | ya | 16:08 |
| Makere | neat that there's a command for that | 16:08 |
| Loof | Are there any tools to automatically 'rebundle' Ubuntu AMIs... Specifically, to remove cloud-init locks, ssh keys, etc prior to bundling? | 18:10 |
| Loof | I've looked around, but I've not seen anything to actually purge the system files and make it a 'fresh' image | 18:11 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| smoser | Loof, no, there isnt anything. | 19:44 |
| smoser | you should not have to remove anything for cloud-init, as its locks are instance-ids specific | 19:45 |
| smoser | but... all the same. we are hoping to have something like that for 11.04, but even then, the suggested rebundle mechanism is to download images from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com and mount loopback and operate on them then register | 19:45 |
| smoser | that is jsut a cleaner approach | 19:46 |
| smoser | that leaves less likelyhood of your keys or private data being left in the image | 19:46 |
| ramanK | Hello | 19:52 |
| ramanK | Is there any plan for PaaS on ubuntu ? | 19:53 |
| ramanK | something like jboss on RHEL | 19:55 |
