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