koolhead11|afkwhy my repository automatically gets selected on basis of my timezone i select :(09:56
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: I think you can change it via preseeding the repo, if you need to change it on a grand scale10:01
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: #d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \10:02
TeTeT#       http://local.server/ubuntu &releasename; main10:02
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt for more details10:02
koolhead11|afkTeTeT, that is what am trying to do and am failing10:04
* koolhead11|afk clicks10:04
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: where do you place the preseed file? I've got best results when trying this first with kvm and having the preseed on the host10:04
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: then using preseed/url=http://192.168.122.1/preseed.cfg or whatever the file is called10:05
koolhead11|afkTeTeT, am using cobbler so my preceed file is inside /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/myprofile.seed10:05
TeTeTkoolhead11|afk: sorry, no exprience with cobbler so far :(10:05
koolhead11|afkTeTeT, it does same :D10:05
koolhead11|afkmy profile is mapped with this preceed file so during bootup it will pick configuration from the preseed file10:06
koolhead11|afknow my setup scenario is am having an ISO and i have mounted it say /var/www/distro/ubuntu10:07
koolhead11|afkand it has ip say 10.10.1.110:07
=== daker_ is now known as daker
koolhead11|afkso in my preceed file what i have mentioned is d-i     mirror/http/hostname    string 10.10.10.110:08
koolhead11|afkd-i     mirror/http/directory   string /mydistro/ubuntu10:08
koolhead11|afk but every time the first phase passes, it automatically selects keyboard but fails in finding repository and everything comes to halt10:10
koolhead11|afkand the log says it has read the preseed file :P10:10
koolhead11|afkTeTeT, around?12:18

kim0-- Ensemble Cloud community meeting --19:02
kim0Hi everyone19:03
kim0I'll try to summarize the outcome from UDS wrt to Ensemble19:03
kim0Since Jim and Ben from the Ensemble team are not around .. this will probably be short19:04
kim0niemeyer: please correct me along the way :)19:04
niemeyerGood afternoon/evening/morning all! (wherever you are in the world!)19:04
kim0Current Ensemble status19:04
niemeyerYeah, everyone but kim0 and myself are off recovering energies post UDS19:05
kim0- Ensemble is now able to do a multi-machine deployment and orchestration19:05
kim0- It can do Dynamic reconfiguration (passing parameters to running formulas, adjusting behaviour)19:05
kim0- Firewall auto-configuration (expose, unexpose services)19:05
kim0- Interactive debugging19:06
kim0It has a ppa and docs live at http://j.mp/ensemble-docs19:06
kim0there's also a newly launched website at http://ensemble.ubuntu.com/ which still needs work to get content into it (anyone interested to help? ping me)19:07
kim0* Ensemble development during 11.10 focuses on19:07
niemeyerFirewall and dynamic configuration are partially landed, but there are still bits in progress.19:07
kim0- Stability and quality19:07
niemeyerNext few weeks will see that consolidated.19:07
kim0thanks niemeyer19:07
niemeyerYay stability and quality!19:07
kim0hehe :)19:07
kim0I think we'll see support for LXC containers19:08
kim0such that interested members can play with Ensemble on localhost (think your laptop)19:08
* koolhead17 wants to do that :)19:08
kim0Some work will go into testing Ensemble with the Eucalyptus community cloud as well19:09
kim0such that you can run instances on the ECC without needing an Amazon account or credit card19:09
koolhead17+119:09
kim0koolhead17: want to test that ?19:09
kim0koolhead17: you can get an ECC account freely today19:10
koolhead17yes indeed. i have eucalyptus setup19:10
kim0oh even better19:10
koolhead17kim0: in office though :P19:10
kim0koolhead17: you could register for a free ECC account at http://open.eucalyptus.com/CommunityCloud19:10
koolhead17hmm going there19:11
kim0niemeyer: would testing current Ensemble against Eucalytpus be useful ?19:11
kim0I think certain fixes needed to land .. not sure if they've landed yet19:11
niemeyerkim0: Absolutely.. I expect some issues still, but anyone actually interested on that will find the errors easy to solve, and would provide valuable feedbakc19:11
niemeyerfeedback19:11
kim0niemeyer: Thanks19:12
kim0koolhead17: there you go19:12
kim0koolhead17: can you please provide that valuable feedback :)19:12
kim0koolhead17: interested ?19:12
koolhead17yes yes19:12
kim0woohoo ..19:12
* kim0 hugs koolhead17 19:12
kim0koolhead17: let's follow up on that after the meeting .. please grab me anytime and let me know how to help19:13
kim0anyone else intrested .. ping me19:13
niemeyerWoot!19:13
koolhead17kim0: sure.19:13
niemeyerThat's great19:13
kim0back to summarizing UDS19:14
kim0Currently some infrastructure work (documentation, guides) for Ensemble needs to be done19:14
kim0the website will feature content for three main categories: New to cloud and Ensemble, Ensemble user, and Ensemble contributor19:15
kim0there are multiple docs already in trunk19:15
kim0but there's a lot more to be written19:16
kim0Again .. any help to a rocking project such Ensemble .. ping me immediately19:16
kim0Regarding contributing formulas19:16
kim0There's a "basic" workflow right now leveraging standard UDD ..19:16
kim0I've written a document explaining how to do it .. it's in review queue .. and hopefully niemeyer will merge it soonish :)19:17
kim0Ensemble team is implement client and server support however for the next gen formulas contribution process19:17
kim0once that's ready, the docs will need to be refreshed19:17
kim0The Ensemble community will seek formulas writers at19:18
kim0- Upstream projects19:18
kim0- Debian and Ubuntu package maintainers19:18
kim0Since familiarity with the actual project the formula is written for, helps19:18
kim0however, anyone wanting to improve/patch/merge to a formula, is more than welcome to grab me immediately19:19
niemeyerkim0: Indeed!19:19
kim0A few screencasts will be created (want to lend a helping hand? grab me)19:19
kim0- Zero to Ensemble19:20
kim0- Writing a simple formula19:20
kim0- Scaling up a service19:20
kim0- Demo'ing usage perhaps on the Eucalyptus cloud19:20
kim0I think that's basically it19:20
kim0there was a longish discussion about whether Ensemble will be in Universe for 11.1019:21
kim0niemeyer: is there a final word on that, or should we wait and see basically19:21
kim0koolhead17: are you only able to reach your cloud env from work ? i.e. when can you start on testing :)19:22
kim0- open questions -19:22
koolhead17kim0: just registered account at the eucalyptus website19:22
kim0koolhead17: I think it takes a bit of time though to get the account approved19:23
koolhead17ok19:23
kim0Great I think that mostly covers it19:23
kim0Thanks19:24
kim0If anyone is around wondering what Ensemble is, or why it's cool .. ask me questions immeidately19:24
kim0if no one has any questions though19:24
kim0that should conclude the meeting .. thanks19:24
kim0- End meeting -19:25
niemeyerkim0: Thanks a lot!19:25
kim0niemeyer: thank you man19:25
