[15:53] <arashbm> hi, I need a little hint. I installed maas as instructed in docs (on a quantal server) and set it up (with gui) so maas manages dhcp and dns for eth1. the pro
[15:53] <arashbm> the problem is that /etc/maas/dhcp.conf still does not exist
[15:56] <arashbm> so maas-dhcp fails to start, saying "/etc/maas/dhcpd.conf does not exist.  Aborting."
[16:20] <arashbm> got it working. Just needed to re-set the maas api address (via `sudo dpkg-reconfigure maas-cluster-controller` ) to a correct, valid address.
[21:55] <atanasb> Hello everyone!
[21:55] <atanasb> I am justing starting out with MAAS and I have a little problem installing it
[21:56] <atanasb> I am running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and I am trying to install MAAS
[21:56] <atanasb> but when I do:
[21:56] <atanasb> sudo apt-get install maas maas-dhcp maas-dns
[21:56] <atanasb> as per the documentation
[21:57] <atanasb> It cannot locate the maas-dns package
[21:57] <atanasb> if I attempt to install everything else but it
[21:57] <atanasb> I end up with a partial install
[21:58] <atanasb> witch also seems to be missing the
[21:58] <atanasb> maas-cluster-controller
[21:58] <atanasb> apt-get is also unable to install that package either
[21:58] <atanasb> am I missing a repo or something?
[22:14] <roaksoax> atanasb: what documentation are you using
[22:16] <atanasb> This one -> http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/quantal/install.html
[22:16] <roaksoax> atanasb: that's *quantal*
[22:16] <roaksoax> atanasb: you are using precise
[22:16] <roaksoax> atanasb: that's why it cannot find the package
[22:16] <roaksoax> atanasb: you might want to try to install maas from ppa: paa:maas-maintainers/stable
[22:18] <atanasb> rror: 'paa:maas-maintainers/stable' invalid
[22:18] <atanasb> :(
[22:19] <roaksoax> atanasb: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/stable
[22:19] <roaksoax> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install maas
[22:19] <roaksoax> that should od it
[22:19] <roaksoax> :)
[22:20] <atanasb> Yes!
[22:20] <atanasb> It works! Thank you so much!
[22:21] <roaksoax> atanasb: no prob, you should now be able to install the rest (maas-dns/maas-dhcp) and continue following that doc
[22:21] <atanasb> Should I continue following the quantal documentaion?
[22:21] <roaksoax> atanasb: yes
[22:21] <roaksoax> atanasb: since you installed a newer version of maas now, it follows the same doct
[22:22] <atanasb> Great. Will do. Thanks for the help. I'll see how it works out.
[22:22] <atanasb> :)
[22:22] <roaksoax> atanasb: there's a huge gap between precise maas and quantal maas, which should be reduced once we release newer MAAS for precise
[22:22] <atanasb> Ubuntu code names have always confused me
[22:22] <roaksoax> atanasb: :)
[22:23] <atanasb> Also a more general question
[22:24] <atanasb> I've got 4 machines (identical in hardware) which I'm trying to connect together
[22:24] <atanasb> is MAAS a good choice for that
[22:24] <atanasb> because I've tried PelicanHPC and what not.
[22:25] <atanasb> But they all have some specifics that are inpenatrable for a newbie like me.
[22:25] <roaksoax> atanasb: MAAS is only a provisioning service, you can do what you need afterthat,
[22:27] <atanasb> I see.
[22:36] <atanasb> roaksoax: One of the packages failes to configure
[22:38] <atanasb> I found a bug report
[22:38] <atanasb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1090334
[23:31] <atanasb> This is my error log: http://pastebin.com/4dU2jQSK
