[04:14] <AShish_> hello everyone
[13:28] <rvba> roaksoax: Hi, I tried to use FPI using http://pad.ubuntu.com/maas-fastpath-install-preseed but it did not work… I used a different method than the one described in the first 3 lines to set the 'use-fastpath-installer' tag but this part worked (I checked in the UI that the tag was applied to my nodes).  Can you double check the script?
[13:29] <rvba> (my nodes were installed using the normal installer, I did not get the FPI to work)
[13:39] <rvba> roaksoax: I'm really wondering how this could work because the url referenced is "http://"+cluster_host+"/MAAS/static/images/[...] and, when talking about the cluster next to the region, this does not exist.
[13:39] <rvba> roaksoax: I guess I'm really missing something here :)
[13:40] <roaksoax> rvba: 1. dis u add support for saucy to maas? 2. does the preseed renders correctly? 3. are you deploying with juju? 4. change /dev/vda to /dev/sda or where you want ubunty to be ibstalled
[13:41] <roaksoax> rvba: are you using raring for the maas server?
[13:41] <roaksoax> rvba: that *does* work and exists
[13:42] <roaksoax> rvba: we have it running at one of our labs
[13:42] <rvba> roaksoax: 1. not yet 2. checking… 3. yes 4. /dev/vda? /dev/sda? where? 5. yes, raring
[13:42] <roaksoax> rvba: in the preseed
[13:42] <roaksoax> 4
[13:42] <roaksoax> 4 in the preseed
[13:44] <rvba> roaksoax: I'm sure it works… but I suspect the setup we have in the lab differs from your setup.
[13:45] <roaksoax> rvba: doesnt matter cluster_host renders based on the cluster for which the node belongs to
[13:46] <rvba> hum, the preseed looks like the normal d-i preseed.
[13:46] <roaksoax> rvba: then it is not using the right one
[13:46] <roaksoax> rvba: maybe the wsy u added the tag
[13:46] <rvba> I see the tab on the node's page.
[13:47] <rvba> tag*
[13:47] <roaksoax> rvba: right but it has special cases
[13:48] <roaksoax> rvba: check the node.py model for expkanayion
[13:50] <rvba> roaksoax: arg, indeed, there is something weird with that tag.
[13:52] <roaksoax> rvba: yeah gavin did it in a way that wont work if theres definition or sonethibg
[13:53] <rvba> roaksoax: right, that's the weird part :)
[13:55] <roaksoax> indeed :)
[13:55] <rvba> >>> [n.should_use_fastpath_installer() for n in Node.objects.all()]
[13:55] <rvba> [True, True, True, True]
[13:55] <rvba> roaksoax: but I don't think that's the problem. ^
[13:57] <rvba> that method, should_use_fastpath_installer(), is not really used anywhere…
[14:00] <roaksoax> rvba: i know but traditional installer is
[14:00] <roaksoax> so if thats false then the fpi should be used
[14:01] <rvba> I really don't understand how this all fits together.
[14:01] <roaksoax> rvba: what exactly?
[14:03] <rvba> roaksoax: I got it now: my file /usr/share/maas/preseeds/generic does not contain the {{if node.should_use_traditional_installer() }} trick!
[14:04] <roaksoax> rvba: plop :) it shoulf if you are using raring
[14:04] <rvba> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5674126/
[14:04] <roaksoax> thats weird though
[14:06] <rvba> roaksoax: I think the package from the daily ppa has a pb.
[14:06] <roaksoax> pb?
[14:06] <rvba> roaksoax: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/5674126/
[14:11] <roaksoax> rvba: that doesn't seem to be using the latest branch cause the  generic template should have the should_use....
[14:11] <roaksoax> rvba: and i need to add packaging support for fpi to the latest packaging
[14:11] <roaksoax> branch
[14:13] <smoser> bahn.
[14:13] <smoser> bah.
[14:13] <smoser> i'm seeing an issue i think where if i start a node form the cli, then it gets powered on, but it tries to pxe boot to 'poweroff' template.
[14:14] <smoser> and in the web ui, it has 'start node' as an action
[14:14] <roaksoax> smoser: the node is not sllocated to the user then
[14:15] <roaksoax> ut is not being allocated*
[14:16] <smoser> i allocate it with that user from cli
[14:16] <smoser> and then start it
[14:16] <smoser> allocate works
[14:16] <smoser> goes from unallocated to allocated
[14:16] <smoser> (state goes from 4 to 6)
[14:16] <roaksoax> smoser: maybe pxe got disabled?
[14:16] <smoser> ?
[14:17] <smoser> i'm watching it pxe boot
[14:17] <rvba> roaksoax: the fpi stuff is not in the 1.3 branch (the branch for raring)!  That's the reason why it is not in the raring daily package.
[14:17] <roaksoax> as in the node is node.pxe = False
[14:17] <roaksoax> racedo: yeah the fpi is in trunk
[14:17] <roaksoax> err
[14:17] <smoser> "netboot": true,
[14:17] <roaksoax> rvba ^^
[14:17] <roaksoax> rvba: use thr package from raring
[14:18] <roaksoax> rvba it is not in 1.3 becsuse in rarin (the release) it was a patch thsg ensbled fpi because at the time fpi wsdnt gonna be merged upstream
[14:19] <rvba> roaksoax: ah ok.
[14:19] <smoser> GAH
[14:21] <roaksoax> smoser: but if the ui shows it hsd 'dtart node' as an action the it means it wont pxeboot because node is not stsrted
[14:23] <smoser> roaksoax, its user error
[14:23] <smoser> to some extent
[14:23] <smoser> @#$%ing annoying
[14:23] <smoser> maas-cli maas nodes acquire system_id=node-28272b2c-b844-11e2-bca5-d4bed9a84493
[14:23] <smoser> that will happily acquire you a *different* system!
[14:23] <smoser> bug 1074317
[14:25] <roaksoax> smoser: yeah i think that suport should be added to work with systems using its name not its uuid
[14:26] <smoser> roaksoax, no. thats not the problem
[14:26] <smoser> acquire *only* works by name
[14:26] <rvba> rarg, now the preseed template cannot be rendered.
[14:26] <smoser> and if you specify 'system_id=SOME_SYSTEM_ID' it will happily give you a different one.
[14:26] <roaksoax> rvba thats etherpad messing with unicode
[14:26] <smoser> just as if you say: acquire FOOOWHIZ=excellent
[14:26] <smoser> it just gives you a system.
[14:27] <roaksoax> i see
[14:27] <smoser> basically 'system_id' is not anythign special to acquire
[14:27] <roaksoax> rvba: found snother bug with cpu discovery btw
[14:27] <rvba> roaksoax: ah, you're right!
[14:28] <roaksoax> smoser: yeah i see now. but apsrt from that we should be using sydtem nsme rathet than system uuid
[14:29] <roaksoax> rvba: ill get you a lshw xml file on monday
[14:29] <rvba> roaksoax: ok, cool.
[14:30] <roaksoax> ok then I'm off today ... so of there's nothing else y'all need me for I'm off:)
[14:50] <roaksoax> rvba: btw... re on dhcp email. i thi k is due to the latest changr madr by julian to packaging branch
[15:07] <smoser> just filed two bugs
[15:07] <smoser> bug 1181265 and bug1181263
[16:26] <b1tbkt> is there a prescribed way to perform a release-upgrade on a unit?
