How do I select an aki? I have the list here... http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/maverick/server/daily.txt [15:15] and I know I need to ebs, i386 US-East-1 [15:16] but that leaves lots of options.. [15:16] would any of these work? do i need paravirtual? === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK === Kiall|AFK is now known as Kiall === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK === Kiall|AFK is now known as Kiall === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK === Kiall|AFK is now known as Kiall === Kiall is now known as Kiall|AFK [19:22] hallyn: hey [19:22] hallyn: fyi, aliguori tells me that qemu 0.14 is due out for GA very shortly (within a couple of weeks) [19:22] hallyn: depending on how quickly Avi releases qemu-kvm, we might be able to get qemu-kvm-0.14 into Natty [19:22] kirkland: good timing, i was hoping to roll it into alpha3 [19:22] cool [19:23] hallyn: "it" == qemu 0.14? [19:23] yeah [19:23] aliguori: do you have RC's out yet? [19:23] hallyn: sweet [19:23] hallyn: well, alpha3 probably won't work [19:23] though we've done enough bughunting with 0.13.0, that i'm not sure we *should* risk 0.14.0 at the last minute :) [19:23] hallyn: as we're in alpha3 freeze as of Tuesday [19:23] Here's my proposal: [19:23] Stable branch - 2/1 [19:23] 1 or 2 -rcs in between [19:23] Stable release - 2/15 [19:23] Regards, [19:23] Anthony Liguori [19:23] hallyn: so to make alpha3, we'd need an upload by monday-ish [19:24] kirkland: btw, i still have no idea what's going on with jdstrand's kvm corruption. dunno if i'ts a kvm, ecryptfs, or hardware fault [19:24] hallyn: well aliguori's schedule certainly meets our feature freeze [19:24] hallyn: hmm, yeah, that one worries me [19:24] aliguori: that was kindo of formal :) [19:24] well, we can give it a spin [19:24] and if your machiens remain available, we can even test 32-bit this time [19:25] hallyn: i can certainly keep them available [19:26] awesome [22:10] smoser: how much have you played around with spice? [22:11] that would be countable in minutes on one hand [22:13] smoser: hmm, okay [22:13] smoser: so qemu recently added a -vga qxl [22:14] smoser: i don't think we have it in Ubuntu yet (but may be in qemu-kvm-0.14) [22:14] what is qxl? [22:14] is that spice ? [22:14] smoser: anyway, i was curious what magic is required in the Ubuntu guest to run on a spice-capable hypervisor [22:14] smoser: yeah [22:14] smoser: I *think* xserver-xorg-video-qxl - X.Org X server -- QXL display driver [22:15] smoser: i think that's what we need in the guest [22:15] that would make sense. [22:16] smoser: i was kinda wondering if we might see if the desktop team wants to put that in main and on the CD, if so [22:16] smoser: we should certainly put it in our cloud desktop images [22:17] smoser: even if amazon isn't spice ready today, they could blog that they've turned it on at any random time :-) [22:17] well the ddesktiop images at this poith are still really only main [22:17] so, get it in there. [22:17] amazon wont be spice ready. [22:17] xen i think is not going to happen [22:17] and even then [22:17] not something that make sense in the near term [22:18] as i understand it, spice is a much more high bandwidth, low latency [22:18] noomachine / freenx / x2go is low bandwidth high latency [22:18] you wont have the former unless you were on amazon campus [22:18] i have to run [22:18] smoser: k [22:19] i understand that spice is working on things to make it a better lwo bandwidth solution, though [22:19] i have looked at it for more than 5 minutes, but have never seen it functional. [22:19] ie, not much more than 5 minutes [22:59] smoser: fwiw, i've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-qxl/+bug/709537 [22:59] Launchpad bug 709537 in xserver-xorg-video-qxl "[MIR] xserver-xorg-video-qxl" [Undecided,New] [22:59] smoser: i talked to bryceh about it, and he said it sounded reasonable [23:00] smoser: even if we won't use it for the EC2 images, i think it's a wise thing to have [23:00] smoser: as people in RH environments will want to use it
