[00:59] <theTrav> ok, so I've created a volume on my SC, attached it to my image as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/StorageController and hybridfox says it's all good and attached
[00:59] <theTrav> however I can't see it in /dev
[01:00] <theTrav> I can see sda as well as sda1 2 and 3
[01:00] <theTrav> is there any good way of determining which of those are the attached volume?
[01:00] <theTrav> should they go away if I detach it?
[01:05] <theTrav> hmm, another thing.. It seems I can only attach these volumes to one image at a time...  does that mean there's no concurrently shared storage in the cloud?  or that I have to set it up as network storage?
[01:05] <flaccid> thats correct
[01:05] <flaccid> see ebs snapshots
[01:05] <flaccid> consider rsync or nfs
[01:07] <theTrav> ok, well if that's the case then I probably don't need that form of storage at all
[01:07] <theTrav> I can just do everything on the ram disk
[01:08] <theTrav> will probably be faster
[08:18] <kim0> cdbs: Hi there
[08:18] <cdbs> hi kim0
[08:18] <kim0> what was your question
[08:19] <cdbs> kim0: Ubuntu on EC2 is officially supported by Canonical. Why not Rackspace? RS has better support and better pricing. If canonical doesn't wish to partner with RS, then atleast it should be mentioned on cloud.ubuntu.com that Ubuntu works well on RS
[08:19] <cdbs> moreover, www.ubuntu.com/cloud/public is filled with EC2
[08:21] <kim0> Ubuntu server engineers generate official ubuntu server images and publish them to Amazon ec2
[08:21] <cdbs> yep
[08:21] <kim0> the same images are valid for UEC
[08:21] <cdbs> and Rackspace does that independently
[08:22] <kim0> and since UEC exposes an ec2 compatible interface
[08:22] <kim0> hence as you say, ec2 is directly supported
[08:22] <cdbs> :o
[08:22] <kim0> supporting a different cloud provider
[08:23] <kim0> is well not a problem .. i.e. ubuntu is supporting openstack which is developed by RS
[08:23] <cdbs> rackspacecloud DOES make images for Ubuntu.. They made the maverick image 15 days after maverick release
[08:23] <cdbs> oh yeahm there is openstack
[08:23] <kim0> however at this stage, I think it's only a numbers game
[08:23] <kim0> It's my understanding RS will switch to openstack soonish
[08:24] <cdbs> so then it will be easier I guess
[08:24] <kim0> I guess so as well
[08:24] <kim0> nothing is public or official however yet
[08:24] <kim0> there are thousands of hosting companies worldwide
[08:24] <kim0> as mentioned, ec2 gets attention only bec of size
[08:24] <kim0> but yes RS is quite big as well ..
[08:25] <kim0> and hopefully will be directly supported soon
[08:26] <cdbs> hmm
[10:17] <kim0> smoser: Hi scott, can you please ping me when online. I'd like to talk about the uec images landing page improvements thing
[10:44] <superxgl> hi kim0,could u add me to the mailing list, i have sent a mail to the mailing list ,tnx
[10:47] <kim0> superxgl: Hi there
[10:48] <kim0> superxgl: I sent you this one before, but it seems you didn't get it
[10:48] <kim0> superxgl: you can subscribe to the list using https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-cloud
[10:49] <superxgl> kim0: ok, i will have a try .tnx:)
[17:15] <achiang> kirkland: so, what is kvm-ok trying to do?
[17:15] <kirkland> achiang: it's a simple shell script
[17:15] <kirkland> achiang: basically, your kernel thinks vt is disabled in the bios
[17:16] <achiang> kirkland: yep, i see it now, in dmesg
[17:16] <kirkland> achiang: did you physically power your ssytem off and back on, after changing bios?
[17:16] <kirkland>         echo "HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT),"
[17:16] <kirkland>         echo "      and then hard poweroff/poweron your system"
[17:17] <achiang> kirkland: well, thing is, i went into BIOS and it was already turned on
[17:17] <achiang> so i didn't actually change anything
[17:17] <kirkland> achiang: what kind of machine is this?
[17:17] <achiang> kirkland: well, i will try a hard power cycle now
[17:17] <achiang> kirkland: lenovo think centre
[17:17] <achiang> um
[17:17] <achiang> m90p?
[17:18] <achiang> back in 60 seconds
[17:22] <achiang> kirkland: no love. i have a laptop where i know it works, so i'll just do that, thanks for the help
[17:22] <achiang> kirkland: maybe some other day when i'm less slammed
[17:22] <kirkland> achiang: can you pastebin /proc/cpuinfo?
[17:22] <kirkland> achiang: i'm curious what cpu is foobar
[17:22] <kirkland> achiang: and pastebin the output of kvm-ok?
[17:24] <achiang> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/556224/
[17:29] <achiang> kirkland: ^^
[17:30] <kirkland> achiang: thanks a lot;  yeah, something is wrong bios-level with this machine
[17:31] <achiang> kirkland: nod. i don't have time to hack on it, trying to get some stuff done before holiday starts
[17:31] <kirkland> achiang: if i were you, i would power on, go into bios, turn off vt, save bios, boot, hard power off, go back into bios, turn on vt, boot, hard power off, then boot normal
[17:31] <achiang> kirkland: oh right, re: skiing... i'm already committed to Winter Park for that weekend. :)
[17:31] <kirkland> achiang: cool
[17:31] <kirkland> achiang: cool, man, have fun ;-)
[17:31] <achiang> kirkland: that's worth a shot, i can try that later
[17:32] <achiang> kirkland: thanks you too! i'll do the snow god dance
[17:32] <kirkland> k
[17:32] <kirkland> achiang: cool
