[01:20] <cuyler> trying to install
[01:20] <cuyler> ubuntu 10.04.1 server edition on amd 64
[01:20] <flaccid> sweet
[01:22] <cuyler> yea been using desktop for a while tryin to learn somethin new
[01:22] <cuyler> but i am getting a boot error along the lines of unknown keyword in configuration file gfxboot
[01:23] <flaccid> which cloud?
[01:24] <cuyler> front end clc
[01:25] <cuyler> first machine
[01:25] <flaccid> never heard of that cloud before
[01:26] <smoser> cuyler, you get that when booting off a usb creator usb key ?
[01:26] <cuyler> I'm trying to install the ubuntu server edition 64 .iso
[01:26] <cuyler> yup
[01:27] <cuyler> didnt see you there smoser
[01:27] <cuyler> thats where i got it from
[01:28] <flaccid> a usb key is a cloud?
[01:28] <smoser> i think you can atually just type 'linux' or maybe even hit enter.
[01:28] <smoser> its a usb createor bug
[01:28] <smoser> flaccid, he's trying to install UEC (i think)
[01:28] <cuyler> yes i am
[01:28] <flaccid> oh
[01:29] <flaccid> boot error is what the installation media or booting the OS afer install?
[01:29] <cuyler> installation media
[01:30] <smoser> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9704603 is a hnt.. there is a bug, but i don't see it
[01:30] <flaccid> could be a bug, this is suited for #ubuntu . search launchpad bugs and consider the alternate cd
[01:31] <smoser> i dont know how it was fixed, but the problem was that usb-creator uses the host OS's isolinux
[01:31] <cuyler> thx- gona give it a shot
[01:31] <smoser> and that maverick and lucid have different enough versions that there were problems creating one from the other (both ways)
[01:31] <cuyler> haha thats a nice bug
[01:32] <smoser> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/608382
[01:33] <smoser> it should be fixed though, if you're up to date on lucid
[01:33] <smoser> (comment 42 there)
[01:36] <smoser> cuyler, ^
[01:37] <cuyler> thx i appreciate it
[01:37] <cuyler> it doesnt seem to be fixed tho
[01:37] <cuyler> im gona reed up on it a little
[01:38] <cuyler> read*
[09:35] <liam> any ideas why I wouldn't be able to reach my ec2 server? ssh times out and so does pinging the public dns...
[09:46] <Makere> it's dead?
[09:46] <Makere> dunno
[09:46] <Makere> :p
[12:42] <progre55> Hi guys. I had a cluster and a node functioning properly. But then the cluster and node addresses changed on the LAN (cluster: 172.16.4.30, node: 172.16.5.217) and now they dont even see each other. Any suggestions, please?
[13:22] <Makere> so with how many nodes have you tried the cloud?
[13:22] <Makere> general question, not aimed for anyone :)
[13:24] <Makere> currently running with 38 nodes
[13:31] <TeTeT> progre55: in general UEC won't work well in a DHCP environment, you want static IPs for all components
[13:31] <TeTeT> progre55: or testing you probably can get away with using euca-register-* and euca-discover-nodes
[13:31] <TeTeT> Makere: only got 2 nodes :( Do you run all of the 38 in one cluster or spread them over several clusters?
[13:51] <Makere> one cluster
[13:51] <Makere> mainly because secondary cluster installation is broken
[13:52] <Makere> and all we are doing is running folding@home :p
[13:52] <TeTeT> Makere: broken on the same LAN you mean? per the problem you reported a couple of days ago?
[13:52] <TeTeT> he he
[13:53] <Makere> ye
[13:53] <Makere> http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=197910 F@H statistics
[13:54] <Makere> doesn't list all instances as active CPU's yet for some reason
[13:56] <Makere> I guess it would be better with more clusters, now it seems that the network has slowed down to a crawl
[13:59] <TeTeT> Makere: check the cluster controller for network I/O. I bet it's strained
[19:11] <silencieux> hello?
[19:13] <silencieux> I am trying to set up a private cloud for a school project and my noob backside is having a heck of a time.  Can anyone help me with a error:  Failed check! Invalidating registration: image-store-1289694986/ramdisk.manifest.xml
[19:17] <nijaba> silencieux: it seems that the image checksum failed.  Indicates damage in download.  I guess you should try again
[19:21] <silencieux> fun... reload the images then... well thanks a ton
[19:26] <silencieux> hey have any of you been able to get a <gasp!> M$ Windows image to run in the cloud yet?
[19:27] <silencieux> again... pardon my n00bness
[20:23] <Makere> I think you can run them, but it's not officially supported in the free version
[20:42] <Makere> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PATWTb0llSU <- something we made for the lulz at school project :D
[20:45] <flaccid> "the best experience of cloud computing"
[20:45] <flaccid> really?
[20:46] <Makere> let's not go there
[20:46] <Makere> it's there for a joke
[20:46] <Makere> :D
[20:46] <flaccid> you just did
[20:46] <flaccid> oh
[20:47] <Makere> a bad joke I may add
[20:47] <flaccid> where can i read the project plan and project obvjectives? just looks like someone using uec to me
[20:49] <Makere> the project plan is in finnish on the blog
[20:49] <flaccid> what is the objective in 1 sentence in english?
[20:50] <Makere> well the plan was to research UEC to see if it's worth teaching at school (university) and is there any value of it for the students
[20:51] <flaccid> you needed a project for that?
[20:52] <Makere> we're (hopefully) wrapping up the project tomorrow, presenting the end report and demoing the system to our Project instructor
[20:53] <flaccid> ok, well good luck
[20:53] <Makere> well the studies include a project related to windows, networking or linux
[20:53] <Makere> and it was only a 8 week project
[20:54] <flaccid> personally i would be making a course that is about teaching cloud computing fundamentals, then move in to private and public clouds. do eucalyptus and maybe at least 1 other private cloud and use UEC to be independent of linux distribution
[20:56] <Makere> I think cloud computing is just not ready yet
[20:56] <Makere> especially UEC
[20:56] <Makere> too many problems, with not enough solutions
[20:56] <flaccid> really? it's been ready for years. eucalyptus is still a bit young though. aws ec2 is not ..
[20:57] <flaccid> UEC != cloud computing
[20:57] <Makere> I know
[20:59] <Makere> I wouldn't still put my entire server room into EC2 cloud
[21:01] <Makere> I must say that I don't have much experience on EC2
[21:02] <Makere> so let me correct myself and say that UEC is not ready yet
[21:04] <flaccid> yeah
[21:05] <flaccid> many companies have moved prod or dev to the ec2 cloud and quite effectively. companies like zynga wouldn't be able to operate without it
[21:31] <smoser> fyi: http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2010/12/ubuntu-natty-cluster-compute-instances.html
[21:31] <smoser> ubuntu cluster compute instances now available.
[23:35] <liam> I cannot connect to my ec2 instance... It is created from the daily ubuntu ami release... Could it be that the instance can only be reached from the US?
[23:39] <flaccid> connect with what?
[23:39] <liam> flaccid: ssh and I cant event ping the server....
[23:40] <flaccid> you need both those open in the security group used by the instance
[23:40] <liam> flaccid: could you try to ping it at ec2-50-18-57-32.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com please
[23:40] <flaccid> thats the internal iface
[23:40] <flaccid> nobody can reach that remotely
[23:41] <liam> flaccid: its says public dns...?
[23:41] <flaccid> root@sandbox:/opt/rightscale# host ec2-50-18-57-32.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
[23:41] <flaccid> ec2-50-18-57-32.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com has address 10.160.119.152
[23:42] <liam> flaccid: so can you reach the server?
[23:42] <flaccid> flaccid: nobody can reach that remotely
[23:42] <flaccid> what is in your security group?
[23:43] <liam> flaccid: ok so I didn't have ssh in the security group.... that is probably why?
[23:43] <flaccid> yes
[23:43] <flaccid> same goes for ping
[23:43] <liam> flaccid: ok thank you.
[23:43] <flaccid> you should read up on security groups. its your nat firewall.
[23:44] <liam> yes I have used it before with other servers I just completely forgot....
