[14:00] is the instance-id binded with it's ip address ? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [15:04] smoser: hi, do you have a few minutes to discuss the ebs root, lucid and Launchpad things? [15:38] TeTeT, sure. i'm just back now. [15:39] smoser: great. I've started writing up the exercise, will take the remainer of today to be finished and checking it tomorrow [15:40] there are lots of things we can do to make it more polished. [15:40] smoser: on the launchpad project, I'll happily get the infrastructure going. Should there be a special team driving it? Like server team or a newly founded one? Do you have any preference on project/team name? [15:41] smoser: I was thinking of calling it 'uec-ebs-root' or 'uec-persistency' [15:41] hm.. i kind of like both of those. i like staying away from "ebs-root" as its not really "ebs root". [15:42] smoser: ok, so let's call it 'uec-persistency', that would allow the project to foster other relevant pieces, if need be [15:42] sure... [15:43] ignore the ... [15:43] i dont knowwhy i typed that [15:43] smoser: I'll get it started asap and create a likely named team, making you, tom and me admins, so we can add people at will [15:44] great. [15:44] thanks, TeTeT [15:46] what's that uec-persistency thing ? [15:47] TeTeT, in the end, i really think we should have downloadables of a "loader" kernel and ramdisk . [15:47] then, the only thing hte user really needs to do is create the ebs volume. [15:47] kim0, https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/+junk/kexec-loader [15:48] the readme there is probably not all that readable [15:49] kim0: I'm writing a UEC class exercise for it, if you want to proof and test it, let me know [15:49] but th eidea is that we use kexec as a loader. we supply a kernel and ramdisk. that allows both ebs-root-like function *and* reboot into a new kernel on 10.04 + [15:49] reboot into new kernel function exists in 10.10 already [15:49] wow :) [15:50] sounds yummy [15:50] smoser: do you think it can be automated that much? Guess a script can do it [15:51] well, we just supply the kernel/ramdisk. there is only a need for 1. [15:51] well, 2. [15:51] we don't have kexec reboots on metal yet right [15:51] 1 kernel, 1 ramdisk for ebs-root-like, 1 ramdisk for non-ebs-root. [15:52] then, all we need is somethign that takes a ami and puts it onto an ebs volume (this is trivial for ubuntu images, and simple for anything that has grub2) [15:52] kim0, no ? [15:52] smoser: you tell me [15:53] just never heard of Ubuntu having it [15:53] if we do, why isn't it on by default [15:53] as in "reboot" does it ? [15:53] you've never done 'apt-get install kexec-tools' [15:53] TREllis: ^^^ [15:53] yes, it "just works". [15:53] but this is different, actually, kim0. it doesn't use that. [15:54] smoser: you're saying, apt-get install kexec-tools && reboot [15:54] will kexec ? [15:54] the reason its different is that eucalyptus continually loads the initial kernel and ramdisk from outside the image. [15:54] every time. [15:54] and that kernel/ramdisk is just configured such that it mounts root, finds kernel and ramdisk, and kexec loads that. [15:54] kim0, you have to turn it on, (/etc/default/kexec) but other than that, yes. [15:54] awesome .. can't wait to reboot :) [15:55] is that eucalyptus's way of pvgrub [15:55] well, no, this is not from eucalyptus [15:55] and this is separate from what we *have* in 10.10 [15:55] 10.10 solutoin is actually cleaner. [15:56] we load any multiboot image that the user provides [16:29] smoser: do you agree with the high level structure of the updated page [16:29] i think so , yeah [16:29] feel free to revert it :) [16:29] hehe === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [17:52] anyone tested KVM with spice on Ubuntu, does it work === Kiall is now known as ollym === ollym is now known as Kiall === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [19:58] is there any plans to get SPICE-support in Ubuntu? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === mrjazzcat is now known as mrjazzcat-afk === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === 14WAAS8TL is now known as jfluhmann_ [21:52] I'm trying to setup a small cluster, one head, three nodes, and keep having problems trying to get walrus going.
