[08:20] <koolhead11> hi kim0
[08:20] <koolhead11> flaccid, and everyone :)
[08:47] <kim0> Morning everyone
[09:07] <rwat> can someone have a look at my console log http://paste.ubuntu.com/587705/ - some bits inc networking failing at the end of boot
[09:08] <rwat> that's the certified centos image. The debian one doesn't get that far - just drops to busybox
[09:31] <koolhead11> rwat, probably the networking is not correct
[09:48] <rwat> koolhead11: I can believe that - where do I start to unpick it?
[09:54] <koolhead11> rwat, is your cloud controller and instances running on 2 different machine
[09:59] <rwat> koolhead11: yes
[10:00] <rwat> ATM I have one box doing CC, CLC, SC, Walrus and the other being NC
[10:01] <koolhead11> rwat, nice
[10:42] <kim0> hey everyone .. any ideas on speeding up vmbuilder ? as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1717652
[10:42] <kim0> drop me hints and I'll post em on the forums
[14:42] <tim> hi, I need to get some computing done in a hurry, and was hoping to run it as jobs accross several ubuntu-ec2 instances
[14:44] <tim> will an instance that I set up be 'very much like a virtual dedicated server'?
[14:45] <tim> i.e. I'll be able to ssh into it, install some software, run it, collect my data, then drop the instance?
[14:46] <tim> heh, I was just looking for someone who has used one to chat to about it really...
[14:47] <semiosis> tim: yeah thats usually how it works.  amazon has a free tier allowing you to experiment with a micro instance, why dont you give it a try
[14:47] <semiosis> tim: ubuntu has official EC2 AMIs, you can find one that meets your needs at the AMI locator here: http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/
[14:48] <tim> semiosis: because I'm a bit pushed for time unfortunately. it's a bit dumb but I have some homework which needs about a weeks compute time, due in a couple days. I was hoping to spread the load over several instances and hope it completed in time...
[14:48] <semiosis> tim: i'd recommend starting with a maverick 64-bit EBS-root instance, which in the us-east-1 region is ami-cef405a7
[14:48] <tim> I'll have a play...
[14:48] <tim> thanks for the key
[14:54] <tim> oh, also, have you ever used the 'cluster' instance? I'm wondering if it works like any other node, or if it is a special different product?
[15:01] <semiosis> tim: i have not used it, but can tell you it is different from the rest in that it uses HVM (hardware virtualization) rather than PVM (paravirtualization)
[15:03] <tim> thanks
[16:14] <hallyn> all right i've powered off an ec2 instance.  how do i turn it back on?  :)   'euca-reboot-instance' didn't d oit
[16:17] <hallyn> oh nm
[16:41] <Yuva> Hi Kimo
[16:41] <kim0> Yuva: howdy
[16:41] <kim0> o/
[16:41] <kim0> Yuva: how's it going man
[16:42] <Yuva> I have gone through the codes
[16:42] <kim0> Yuva: the ec2 migrate script right
[16:42] <Yuva> i find it difficult, i feel i need to read a log
[16:42] <Yuva> *log
[16:42] <kim0> Yuva: you went through the boto tutorial too ?
[16:43] <Yuva> yes, i gone through boto for EC2
[16:43] <kim0> is that clear and easy to follow
[16:44] <Yuva> Yes, I can understand spinning up the server, starting, terminating, getting the status,
[16:44] <kim0> good :)
[16:44] <Yuva> etc
[16:44] <kim0> Yuva: so what parts you feel I can help you better understand
[16:46] <Yuva> regaring the volume
[16:48] <kim0> I'm waiting ...
[16:49] <Yuva> its about creating volume, attaching it
[16:51] <kim0> Yuva: do you think it would be good to have a skype call
[16:52] <Yuva> Yeah, that would be great, but I don't have microphone with me now
[16:52] <Yuva> I will make arrangement and ping you
[16:52] <kim0> Yuva: which timezone are you in
[16:53] <Yuva> IST
[16:53] <kim0> Yuva: that's GMT+5:30
[16:53] <kim0> right ?
[16:54] <Yuva> Yes, its 9:30 PM here
[16:54] <kim0> Yuva: what about tomorrow 5:30pm your time (12:00 UTC)
[16:55] <Yuva> I will be at work at that time
[16:55] <kim0> ah
[16:55] <kim0> np
[16:55] <kim0> 7:30 ?
[16:55] <Yuva> I will get time on weekend
[16:56] <kim0> I might not be too available on weekend
[16:56] <kim0> :)
[16:56] <kim0> Fri 9:30pm ?
[16:57] <kim0> any way .. think about it and let me know then
[16:57] <kim0> you can email me kim0 AT ubuntu.com
[16:57] <kim0> also, if you have specific questions about the code .. send them
[16:57] <kim0> would help me understand what's not clear ..etc
[16:57] <Yuva> and what's your time zone
[16:57] <kim0> gmt+2
[16:58] <kim0> would be great if you'd give me "ranges" of available times
[16:59] <Yuva> okay, sure,
[17:00] <kim0> awesome :)
[17:00] <kim0> awaiting your email then
[17:03] <Yuva> definitely
[17:04] <Yuva> Fri 8:00 is fine
[19:16] <semiosis> i'm seeing some strange inconsistency between two ec2 instances.  they're identical except that they are in different availability zones.
[19:16] <semiosis> i attached an extra instance store, ephemeral1, which gets automatically formatted by cloudinit (I think)
[19:16] <semiosis> and on the two instances, the filesystem superblock is different on the ephemeral1 devices
[19:17] <semiosis> different inode count, inodes per group, inode size, and default directory hash
[19:17] <semiosis> can anyone help me to understand why that is?
[19:19] <semiosis> i'm using the official ubuntu maverick 64-bit ebs root AMI in us-east-1 (ami-cef405a7), by the way
[20:48] <patrickw> Hi, I'm having an issue with my 10.04, managed-novlan, single network interface per box, kvm cloud suddenly not able to start instances.  Could be due to a recent update, I'm not sure, but I believe it is because of: vnetInitTunnels(): in MANAGED-NOVLAN mode, priv interface 'eth0' must be a bridge, tunneling disabled --> vnetAttachTunnels(): bad input params.  Anyone else encountered this?
[20:56] <obino1> patrickw: the tunnels are needed only in multi-cluster mode. You can safely ignore instructions and warnings when in single cluster mode
[20:59] <patrickw> obino1: good to know, thanks.  hadn't checked my logs before.  I guess the real errors are:  2x [EUCAERROR ] vnetAttachTunnels(): bad input params -- followed by a --  [EUCAERROR ] shawn(): network state maintainance failed..  seemingly over and over...   but I was able to google some more and a clean restart fixed it
[21:00] <patrickw> Still seems to pump out the errors though.
[21:01] <patrickw> Though now the errors alternate as opposed to 2 for 1...  for whatever that's worth
[22:32] <obino1> patrickw: you should only see the tunnel error: do you see more?
