| flaccid | interesting question. how can i find out the latest AKI for ubuntu 10.04 official ? | 01:39 |
|---|---|---|
| erichammond | flaccid: It depends on the region and architecture | 01:43 |
| erichammond | The latest 32-bit us-east-1 Ubuntu 10.04 is ami-06ad526f. An ec2-describe-images shows the kernel as: aki-407d9529 | 01:44 |
| erichammond | Recent Ubuntu AMIs use a PV AKI and load the actual kernel code from the AMI. | 01:45 |
| erichammond | This lets you upgrade in place and not have to switch to a new AMI/AKI for reboots and the like. | 01:45 |
| flaccid | how did you work out that it was the latest AMI? | 01:46 |
| erichammond | flaccid: There's this web site that lists all of the latest Ubuntu AMIs in a table at the top of the home page: http://alestic.com | 01:47 |
| erichammond | :) | 01:47 |
| flaccid | sure and how did you create that list? | 01:47 |
| erichammond | Or you can query it dynamically (same as I do on Alestic.com) through URLs like: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/natty/server/released.current.txt | 01:48 |
| erichammond | Ah, that even lists the AKI ids. | 01:48 |
| flaccid | or http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/ might be suffice | 01:48 |
| erichammond | Yep. All depends on how you like finding things | 01:48 |
| flaccid | there is only 1 edition built and published, 'ubuntu server' ? | 01:49 |
| erichammond | flaccid: I don't understand the question. | 01:50 |
| flaccid | http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/lucid/server/released.current.txt | 01:50 |
| flaccid | has 'server' in url | 01:50 |
| flaccid | and 2nd column | 01:50 |
| flaccid | http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/ does not have such a column or ref | 01:50 |
| erichammond | Ubuntu currently publishes server images for official release. | 01:51 |
| flaccid | ok thanks very much | 01:51 |
| erichammond | They have desktop images that are build daily but are not officially supported. | 01:51 |
| erichammond | yet | 01:51 |
| flaccid | i see | 01:51 |
| erichammond | Ubuntu server for EC2/UEC is very slightly different from Ubuntu server you can download. It has the cloud-init package and some other tweaks to make it work well in the EC2/UEC environments. | 01:52 |
| flaccid | ack | 01:52 |
| erichammond | er, different from the Ubuntu server you can download from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 01:53 |
| flaccid | happy to hear that UEC is getting rid of euca | 01:53 |
| erichammond | You can also download the EC2/UEC images themselves from places like http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/natty/current/natty-server-uec-amd64.tar.gz | 01:54 |
| erichammond | I use those downloadable images to build custom Ubuntu AMIs. | 01:55 |
| flaccid | cool thanks erichammond | 02:34 |

| smoser | Daviey, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-o-openstack-book | 17:50 |
| smoser | so why do you think having docs packaged is bad ? | 17:52 |
| smoser | i *really* like that i can apt-get install <package>-doc and then go on a plane | 17:52 |
| smoser | and this conversation illustrates very well why i think that blueprints suck for conversation as there is no evidence on that page that usch a conversation ever occurred. | 17:53 |
| smoser | kim0, ^ | 17:53 |
| kim0 | yeah | 17:53 |
| kim0 | I'm not strongly for or against .. | 17:54 |
| kim0 | generating a pdf and making it available online is good enough for me | 17:54 |
| smoser | kim0, but that is completely *not* what we do with almost every thing else | 17:55 |
| smoser | that argument would imply that http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ would be enough | 17:57 |
| smoser | and we should not package man pages | 17:57 |
| smoser | which is obviously asinine | 17:57 |
| kim0 | should we start a public thread on should be made available offline and what shouldn't | 17:57 |
| smoser | i dont really know how to address it. | 17:58 |
| === niemeyer_lunch is now known as niemeyer | ||
| smoser | but it is very difficult in an online format to address the fact that there are multiple different versions in different versions of Ubuntu and those *need* different doc | 17:58 |
| === timwood_ is now known as timwood | ||
| kim0 | yeah, this can get complex | 17:59 |
| kim0 | I think it's probably best to discuss on the server list | 18:01 |
| Daviey | smoser: Why is apt-get > wget http://*.pdf ? | 18:04 |
