| bigjools | squashfs is too buggy so I want to remove it | 01:44 |
| lifeless | what sort of bugs ? | 01:49 |
| * lifeless is curious | 01:49 | |
| bigjools | lifeless: bug 1076409, bug 1074167, bug 1077180 for starters | 01:56 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1076409 in MAAS "maas-import-pxe-files fails when run from trunk" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1076409 | 01:56 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1074167 in MAAS "maas-import-pxe-files fails to download squashfs ephemeral images." [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1074167 | 01:56 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1077180 in MAAS "Not importing Quantal boot images" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1077180 | 01:56 |
| bigjools | lifeless: maas-specific stuff :) | 01:56 |
| lifeless | fun | 01:57 |
| gwd | So I've been trying to follow the instructions for setting up MaaS from here: https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/install.html | 15:04 |
| gwd | And it seems that although the machine acting as both region and cluster controller is quantal (12.10), "maas-import-pxe-files" only grabs precise. That seems a bit unexpected. :-) | 15:06 |
| gwd | smoser: I'm starting to look at writing a Xen / XCP charm you can use for your OpenStack testing. Is there a KVM/libvirt charm I can use as a sort of template? I don't see one in the "Charm Store", or in the examples that come in the quantal juju package. | 15:26 |
| smoser | gwd, :-( maas-import-pxe-files is actually busted at the moment. (bug 1074167) | 15:29 |

| smoser | i'll walk through and get you a workaround to get quantal | 15:29 |
| smoser | (it just wont use the squashfs based install, but the end should be the same) | 15:29 |
| gwd | smoser: I edited /etc/maas/import_pxe_files to include both precise and quantal, that seemed to work OK... | 15:30 |
| smoser | oh? | 15:30 |
| smoser | i would have thought it woudl faail if you did that. | 15:30 |
| smoser | (failing to get the squashfs image) | 15:30 |
| smoser | but if it works, thats good enough. | 15:30 |
| gwd | Well as you say, the squashfs / ephermeral stuff fails, but the normal ones seem to be working ok... | 15:30 |
| smoser | and install works? thats good enough then. | 15:31 |
| smoser | for "kvm/libvirt charm". the charms that we use to deploy openstack ... i'm looking | 15:32 |
| gwd | Hmm -- I set up some VMs with a private network, so that I could run dhcp / pxeboot without bothering our IT guys, but a lot of aspects of the maas / juju setup seem to assume this is not the case. For instance, "juju status" is complaining that it can't resolve hostname u1. | 15:34 |
| smoser | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gandelman-a/+junk/juju-deployer/files is the "deployer" | 15:34 |
| smoser | ping adam_g or jamespage in #ubuntu-server for more info | 15:35 |
| smoser | i'd have to dig, and they cna probably give you better reference. | 15:35 |
| smoser | join there, i'll introduce | 15:35 |
| gwd | smoser: Thanks for the intro. Back to maas -- "juju bootstrap" has produced an installed a juju controller, but "juju status" reports "ERROR Invalid SSH key". Is there a default login that I can use to log into the controller and see what's going on? | 15:44 |
| smoser | gwd, if you cannot get in to the installed node, then something is busted. :-( | 15:45 |
| smoser | are you able to see console logs on that system? | 15:45 |
| === matsubara is now known as matsubara-lunch | ||
| gwd | smoser: You mean serial output or something like that? No -- unfortunately it's actually a VM. :-/ Is that information available from the maas controller anywhere? | 15:47 |
| smoser | gwd, wel, you shoudl actually get syslog installer info back to the maas controller | 15:48 |
| smoser | in /var/log/maas/rsyslog ... or somewhere down there. | 15:49 |
| smoser | for debugging at this point you need to set a password for the user and just login and then poke around. | 15:49 |
| smoser | (you could boot with init=/bin/bash or we can modify the preseed to the installer) | 15:49 |
| smoser | i'm really, really sorry you have an issue. | 15:50 |
| smoser | you imported your ssh keys ? | 15:50 |
| smoser | to maas? | 15:50 |
| gwd | smoser: I'm not too frustrated yet -- it's somewhat different than what I normally work on, so it's somewhat interesting. :-) | 15:51 |
| gwd | smoser: I did have 2 ssh keys I put into the web UI -- maybe the fact that there was 2 is the problem? | 15:51 |
| gwd | smoser: MaaS seems a bit confused at my setup as well -- the machines being controlled are on their own private sub-net, and NAT'ed through the controller. I had to do some massaging of the configuration files to get pxeboot to work right, for instance. | 15:53 |
| gwd | smoser: So I found the rsyslog files for my juju controller on the maas controller -- anything in particular I should be looking for? | 15:55 |
| smoser | gwd, so the install generally worked? | 15:58 |
| smoser | the system? | 15:58 |
| smoser | hm. | 15:58 |
| gwd | smoser: So it would seem -- I've got a machine (u1) that went through the install process, and gives me a login at the console. | 15:58 |
| gwd | smoser: And I can see the install logs on the maas controller (hostname maas), but I don't see anything in the logs about installing ssh keys. | 15:59 |
| smoser | right. | 16:00 |
| smoser | that happens on first boot. | 16:00 |
| smoser | i assume something is breaking, and cloud-init on the installed node did not get the metadata from MAAS | 16:00 |
| smoser | (which is how the keys wouldget pulled in) | 16:00 |
| smoser | so... we can change the maas server preseed for the install | 16:01 |
| smoser | so that it creates a user with a password | 16:01 |
| gwd | Right -- where is that, and how can I trigger a re-install? | 16:02 |
| * gwd goes afk for a few minutes | 16:04 | |
| smoser | gwd, juju destroy-environment | 16:11 |
| smoser | and juju boostrap willd o it | 16:11 |
| gwd | smoser: OK cool; how about adding a password to the default user? | 16:14 |
| smoser | riight. | 16:16 |
| smoser | oh shoot. | 16:16 |
| smoser | did i not paste that. | 16:16 |
| smoser | somewhere there is a preseed file.. ( i dont have it in front of me, ,and i'm trying to juggle too many things right now) | 16:16 |
| smoser | but you want to basically do: | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/root-login boolean false | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/make-user boolean true | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/user-fullname string ubuntu | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/username string ubuntu | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password $6$.1eHH0iY$ArGzKX2YeQ3G6U.mlOO3A.NaL22Ewgz8Fi4qqz.Ns7EMKjEJRIW2Pm/TikDptZpuu7I92frytmk5YeL.9fRY4. | 16:16 |
| smoser | d-i passwd/user-uid string | 16:16 |
| smoser | (some of that is already there) | 16:17 |
| smoser | you just want to add the password-crypted field | 16:17 |
| smoser | and that string is "ubuntu" | 16:17 |
| gwd | OK -- I'll look around for it. | 16:17 |

| gwd | smoser: So it appears that there was a race between /home being mounted and the ssh keys being installed. | 17:57 |
| smoser | separate home partition? | 17:57 |
| gwd | smoser: The installer creates xvda1 to mount on /, and xvda6 to mount on /home. | 17:57 |
| smoser | i'll admit i've never considerd that. | 17:57 |
| smoser | hm.. | 17:58 |
| gwd | smoser: xvda1 has /home/ubuntu/.ssh with the proper keys in it; but while xvda6 has ubuntu/, it doesn't have any ssh configs. | 17:58 |
| smoser | gwd, its not a race | 17:59 |
| smoser | i think you're actually guaranteed failure :) | 17:59 |
| * gwd was being optimistic. :-) | 17:59 | |
| smoser | this is interesting. | 18:00 |
| smoser | the auto partitioner chose to give you a /home. i dont think i'd seen that before. | 18:00 |
| smoser | Daviey, ^ that is interesting in maas. | 18:02 |
| gwd | smoser: So a work-around might be to add the following line: d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic | 18:02 |
| smoser | i dont know. its wierd to me that it did that. | 18:04 |
| smoser | so, since hte other wierd thing is xen, i suspect somethign related to xen | 18:04 |
| smoser | :) | 18:04 |
| gwd | smoser: Very weird... even with the preseed line I wrote above, it still made a /home partition. :-/ This is all with quantal. | 18:15 |
| smoser | gwd, well, i think we can work around this. | 18:17 |
| smoser | but it sucks. | 18:17 |
| smoser | it will require you to do a late_commadn to edit /etc/cloud/cloud-init.cfg | 18:17 |
| === matsubara-brb is now known as matsubara | ||
| smoser | we basically ahve to apply this patch i think | 18:20 |

| Daviey | smoser: eww | 18:23 |
| Daviey | smoser: i had not seen that before ether.. Is it anew default in debian? | 18:24 |
| smoser | he's just using quantal | 18:24 |
| Daviey | smoser: right, but i wondered if debian had started doing it, and we are getting it 'for free' as part of d-i? | 18:26 |
| gwd | smoser,Daviey: Well to compare, my maas controller VM was installed via mini.iso -> network install; so it 1) booted under xen but 2) only created one partition | 18:29 |
| gwd | Anyway, I've got to head out here -- thanks for your help, smoser. Hopefully tomorrow things will go smoother. :-) | 18:29 |
| Daviey | gwd: right, but wasn't preseeded i am assuming ? | 18:29 |
| gwd | Daviey: That's right. | 18:29 |
| Daviey | gwd: yeah, i'm wondering if preseeded installs generally have different behaviour | 18:30 |
| Daviey | i don't think this is a maas bug, as such... more of a di one.. but that is nothing more than a hunch, with no facts to indicate it :) | 18:30 |
| gwd | Daviey: The Ians here on the Xen team know a bit about Debian; I'll ask them if they know anything about partman's behavior here tomorrow. | 18:32 |
| Daviey | gwd: Ian Jackson knows not much about debian :) | 18:35 |
