=== gabrtv_ is now known as gabrtv === hallyn is now known as hallyn_afk [09:56] why my repository automatically gets selected on basis of my timezone i select :( [10:01] koolhead11|afk: I think you can change it via preseeding the repo, if you need to change it on a grand scale [10:02] koolhead11|afk: #d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \ [10:02] # http://local.server/ubuntu &releasename; main [10:02] koolhead11|afk: see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt for more details [10:04] TeTeT, that is what am trying to do and am failing [10:04] * koolhead11|afk clicks [10:04] koolhead11|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 host [10:05] koolhead11|afk: then using preseed/url=http://192.168.122.1/preseed.cfg or whatever the file is called [10:05] TeTeT, am using cobbler so my preceed file is inside /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/myprofile.seed [10:05] koolhead11|afk: sorry, no exprience with cobbler so far :( [10:05] TeTeT, it does same :D [10:06] my profile is mapped with this preceed file so during bootup it will pick configuration from the preseed file [10:07] now my setup scenario is am having an ISO and i have mounted it say /var/www/distro/ubuntu [10:07] and it has ip say 10.10.1.1 === daker_ is now known as daker [10:08] so in my preceed file what i have mentioned is d-i mirror/http/hostname string 10.10.10.1 [10:08] d-i mirror/http/directory string /mydistro/ubuntu [10:10] but every time the first phase passes, it automatically selects keyboard but fails in finding repository and everything comes to halt [10:10] and the log says it has read the preseed file :P [12:18] TeTeT, around? [12:25] hey kim0 === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [16:27] kim0: can you set me as drafter for https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-o-trusted-cloud ? [16:27] kim0: (unless you want to draft it?) [16:27] I don't seem to have permission to edit it [16:27] hallyn_afk: weirdo .. sure doing it [16:27] don't call me names! [16:27] :) === hallyn_afk is now known as hallyn [16:28] hallyn: done [16:29] kim0: thanks === marrusl is now known as marrusl_afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === hallyn is now known as hallyn_afk === daker is now known as daker_ === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [19:02] -- Ensemble Cloud community meeting -- [19:03] Hi everyone [19:03] I'll try to summarize the outcome from UDS wrt to Ensemble [19:04] Since Jim and Ben from the Ensemble team are not around .. this will probably be short [19:04] niemeyer: please correct me along the way :) [19:04] Good afternoon/evening/morning all! (wherever you are in the world!) [19:04] Current Ensemble status [19:05] Yeah, everyone but kim0 and myself are off recovering energies post UDS [19:05] - Ensemble is now able to do a multi-machine deployment and orchestration [19:05] - It can do Dynamic reconfiguration (passing parameters to running formulas, adjusting behaviour) [19:05] - Firewall auto-configuration (expose, unexpose services) [19:06] - Interactive debugging [19:06] It has a ppa and docs live at http://j.mp/ensemble-docs [19:07] there'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] * Ensemble development during 11.10 focuses on [19:07] Firewall and dynamic configuration are partially landed, but there are still bits in progress. [19:07] - Stability and quality [19:07] Next few weeks will see that consolidated. [19:07] thanks niemeyer [19:07] Yay stability and quality! [19:07] hehe :) [19:08] I think we'll see support for LXC containers [19:08] such that interested members can play with Ensemble on localhost (think your laptop) [19:08] * koolhead17 wants to do that :) [19:09] Some work will go into testing Ensemble with the Eucalyptus community cloud as well [19:09] such that you can run instances on the ECC without needing an Amazon account or credit card [19:09] +1 [19:09] koolhead17: want to test that ? [19:10] koolhead17: you can get an ECC account freely today [19:10] yes indeed. i have eucalyptus setup [19:10] oh even better [19:10] kim0: in office though :P [19:10] koolhead17: you could register for a free ECC account at http://open.eucalyptus.com/CommunityCloud [19:11] hmm going there [19:11] niemeyer: would testing current Ensemble against Eucalytpus be useful ? [19:11] I think certain fixes needed to land .. not sure if they've landed yet [19:11] kim0: Absolutely.. I expect some issues still, but anyone actually interested on that will find the errors easy to solve, and would provide valuable feedbakc [19:11] feedback [19:12] niemeyer: Thanks [19:12] koolhead17: there you go [19:12] koolhead17: can you please provide that valuable feedback :) [19:12] koolhead17: interested ? [19:12] yes yes [19:12] woohoo .. [19:12] * kim0 hugs koolhead17 [19:13] koolhead17: let's follow up on that after the meeting .. please grab me anytime and let me know how to help [19:13] anyone else intrested .. ping me [19:13] Woot! [19:13] kim0: sure. [19:13] That's great [19:14] back to summarizing UDS [19:14] Currently some infrastructure work (documentation, guides) for Ensemble needs to be done [19:15] the website will feature content for three main categories: New to cloud and Ensemble, Ensemble user, and Ensemble contributor [19:15] there are multiple docs already in trunk [19:16] but there's a lot more to be written [19:16] Again .. any help to a rocking project such Ensemble .. ping me immediately [19:16] Regarding contributing formulas [19:16] There's a "basic" workflow right now leveraging standard UDD .. [19:17] I've written a document explaining how to do it .. it's in review queue .. and hopefully niemeyer will merge it soonish :) [19:17] Ensemble team is implement client and server support however for the next gen formulas contribution process [19:17] once that's ready, the docs will need to be refreshed [19:18] The Ensemble community will seek formulas writers at [19:18] - Upstream projects [19:18] - Debian and Ubuntu package maintainers [19:18] Since familiarity with the actual project the formula is written for, helps [19:19] however, anyone wanting to improve/patch/merge to a formula, is more than welcome to grab me immediately [19:19] kim0: Indeed! [19:19] A few screencasts will be created (want to lend a helping hand? grab me) [19:20] - Zero to Ensemble [19:20] - Writing a simple formula [19:20] - Scaling up a service [19:20] - Demo'ing usage perhaps on the Eucalyptus cloud [19:20] I think that's basically it [19:21] there was a longish discussion about whether Ensemble will be in Universe for 11.10 [19:21] niemeyer: is there a final word on that, or should we wait and see basically [19:22] koolhead17: are you only able to reach your cloud env from work ? i.e. when can you start on testing :) [19:22] - open questions - [19:22] kim0: just registered account at the eucalyptus website [19:23] koolhead17: I think it takes a bit of time though to get the account approved [19:23] ok [19:23] Great I think that mostly covers it [19:24] Thanks [19:24] If anyone is around wondering what Ensemble is, or why it's cool .. ask me questions immeidately [19:24] if no one has any questions though [19:24] that should conclude the meeting .. thanks [19:25] - End meeting - [19:25] kim0: Thanks a lot!
