[06:58] why I get randomly "unable to mount root filesystem" on VM's? [07:04] General error mounting filesystems [07:09] what VMs are these [07:18] i'm off [07:37] Quick question, are there any tools to reset an instance (clear cloud-init locks, hostname, etc) and prep for bundling a 'clean' AMI? [07:39] Hey [07:39] What do you fellows think about CompTIA Linux+ [08:08] what's that? :P [08:09] anyways, anyone done ubuntu desktop installation on kvm and bundled into cloud, anything special I need to do? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [12:52] stuck on pending ._. [13:21] 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 [13:22] thanks [13:31] is it possible to increase the partition inside a VM [13:41] kim0: I run out of space when trying to install ubuntu-desktop [14:09] Makere: you want to use a bigger instance type, like c1.medium or somesuch with 10G + \ [14:09] Makere: I guess you're on 10.04? Or 10.10? [14:09] 10.0 [14:09] 10 [14:10] 10.10* [14:10] so hard to type lol [14:10] I'm running bigger instance [14:10] but the filesystem partition is always just over 1.5gigs [14:10] Makere: he he, so your container should be 10G each, you can check with df -h [14:11] Makere: can you use resizefs to increase the size? Never done that actually and it is an interesting problem to encounter [14:11] can't because the filesystem is in use [14:13] Makere: hmm, what if you use -f? [14:13] Makere: given that you're just testing, aren't you? and an instance is cheap anyway [14:13] well I sorta gave up on [14:13] it [14:13] and now running KVM inside an instance [14:13] :DDD [14:15] sorry my life is destroyed by could [14:15] cloud* [14:23] 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 === niemeyer is now known as niemeyer_lunch [14:26] Makere, where are you running this instance ? UEC ? [14:35] 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. [14:36] you can resize that up and re-register [14:36] download tarball, then : uec-publish-tarball --resize 6G downloaed-tar-file.tar.gz my-new-bucket amd64 [14:37] pretty simple huh :) [14:39] smoser: awesome, great to read that uec-publish-tarball has the magic [15:01] #start Ubuntu Cloud Q+A gathering [15:01] Hi everyone [15:03] If you're here to attend this Q+A meeting, please say Hi [15:05] hmm .. slow day :) [15:06] well .. If anyone has any thoughts or comments that relate to Ubuntu in the cloud .. now is a good time to start a discussion [15:12] what gathering is this? [15:13] my main thought is: "Ubuntu is perfect for the cloud" ;-) [15:13] orangeacme: hehe [15:13] orangeacme: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloudMeeting [15:14] orangeacme: this is a weekly gathering for everyone interested in ubuntu and the cloud [15:14] basically to ask questions .. share experiences and connect [15:14] orangeacme: so how are you using ubuntu in the cloud [15:16] a few VMs in ec2. all working great as expected [15:17] i was going to bring up https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-on-ec2/+bug/670161 [15:17] Launchpad bug 670161 in ubuntu-on-ec2 "10GB root partition for EBS boot AMIs on EC2" [Medium,Fix committed] [15:17] but it looks like that is underway [15:17] orangeacme: Yeah [15:17] orangeacme, expecting those probably by end of next week as released [15:18] 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] 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] this is where i thank everyone for their hard work [15:19] * kim0 hugs orangeacme [15:19] smoser is da man :) [15:19] smoser so we're standardizing on 8G AMIs ? [15:19] yes, per amazon recommendation. [15:19] Awesome [15:20] EBS root will be 8G, instance store will be 10 [15:23] Landscape gets a yummy new look http://blog.landscape.canonical.com/2010/11/30/our-new-look/ === niemeyer_lunch is now known as niemeyer === niemeyer is now known as niemeyer_testing === niemeyer_testing is now known as niemeyer [15:41] Neat [16:05] smoser: oh neat, you can resize it [16:06] the way ec2 and uec work is that you get a root filesystem of whatever size was uploaded. [16:07] our images are, by default, 1.4G for UEC consumption, so the "small" size can run there (which has 2G disk allocated) [16:07] I thought I'd have to whip out parted and do resizing somehow manually [16:07] if you register a larger root disk (ie, using --resize) it will not run in a m1.small [16:07] Makere, no, its just much easier than that because it is a raw partition image rather than a disk image. [16:08] so you can just truncate the file larger, and then call resize2fs on it [16:08] (which is what uec-resize-image does) [16:08] ya [16:08] neat that there's a command for that [18:10] Are there any tools to automatically 'rebundle' Ubuntu AMIs... Specifically, to remove cloud-init locks, ssh keys, etc prior to bundling? [18:11] I've looked around, but I've not seen anything to actually purge the system files and make it a 'fresh' image === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [19:44] Loof, no, there isnt anything. [19:45] you should not have to remove anything for cloud-init, as its locks are instance-ids specific [19:45] 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 [19:46] that is jsut a cleaner approach [19:46] that leaves less likelyhood of your keys or private data being left in the image [19:52] Hello [19:53] Is there any plan for PaaS on ubuntu ? [19:55] something like jboss on RHEL [20:04] !ping === daker_ is now known as daker === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
