[06:58] <Makere> why I get randomly "unable to mount root filesystem" on VM's?
[07:04] <Makere> General error mounting filesystems
[07:09] <flaccid> what VMs are these
[07:18] <flaccid> i'm off
[07:37] <Loof> Quick question, are there any tools to reset an instance (clear cloud-init locks, hostname, etc) and prep for bundling a 'clean' AMI?
[07:39] <Ashtray777> Hey
[07:39] <Ashtray777> What do you fellows think about CompTIA Linux+
[08:08] <Makere> what's that? :P
[08:09] <Makere> anyways, anyone done ubuntu desktop installation on kvm and bundled into cloud, anything special I need to do?
[12:52] <Makere> stuck on pending ._.
[13:21] <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
[13:22] <Makere> thanks
[13:31] <Makere> is it possible to increase the partition inside a VM
[13:41] <Makere> kim0: I run out of space when trying to install ubuntu-desktop
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <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
[14:13] <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
[14:15] <Makere> sorry my life is destroyed by could
[14:15] <Makere> cloud*
[14:23] <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
[14:26] <smoser> Makere, where are you running this instance ? UEC ?
[14:35] <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.
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <kim0> pretty simple huh :)
[14:39] <TeTeT> smoser: awesome, great to read that uec-publish-tarball has the magic
[15:01] <kim0> #start Ubuntu Cloud Q+A gathering
[15:01] <kim0> Hi everyone
[15:03] <kim0> If you're here to attend this Q+A meeting, please say Hi
[15:05] <kim0> hmm .. slow day :)
[15:06] <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
[15:12] <orangeacme> what gathering is this?
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:16] <orangeacme> a few VMs in ec2. all working great as expected
[15:17] <orangeacme> i was going to bring up https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-on-ec2/+bug/670161
[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
[15:18] <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
[15:19]  * 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
[15:20] <smoser> EBS root will be 8G, instance store will be 10
[15:23] <kim0> Landscape gets a yummy new look http://blog.landscape.canonical.com/2010/11/30/our-new-look/
[15:41] <niemeyer> Neat
[16:05] <Makere> smoser: oh neat, you can resize it
[16:06] <smoser> the way ec2 and uec work is that you get a root filesystem of whatever size was uploaded.
[16:07] <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.
[16:08] <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
[18:10] <Loof> Are there any tools to automatically 'rebundle' Ubuntu AMIs... Specifically, to remove cloud-init locks, ssh keys, etc prior to bundling?
[18:11] <Loof> I've looked around, but I've not seen anything to actually purge the system files and make it a 'fresh' image
[19:44] <smoser> Loof, no, there isnt anything.
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:52] <ramanK> Hello
[19:53] <ramanK> Is there any plan for PaaS on ubuntu ?
[19:55] <ramanK> something like jboss on RHEL
