[03:01] <smoser> harmw, merge proposal comments . see you tomorrow.
[07:19] <harmw> smoser: thanks, I think/hope I understand the issues now :p
[14:34] <vbernat> Hey!
[14:35] <vbernat> I am trying to boot a cloud-init-enabled Ubuntu image
[14:35] <vbernat> The Precise one.
[14:35] <vbernat> I don't have a DHCP on the network, so I need to provide one in the meta-data
[14:35] <vbernat> I have an ISO image with /meta-data and /user-data
[14:35] <vbernat> but it doesn't seem to be mounted
[14:35] <vbernat> [    1.087935] EXT4-fs (vda1): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
[14:35] <vbernat> cloud-init start-local running: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:27:15 +0000. up 3.40 seconds
[14:35] <vbernat> no instance data found in start-local
[14:35] <vbernat> mountall: Event failed
[14:35] <vbernat> cloud-init-nonet waiting 120 seconds for a network device.
[14:36] <vbernat> cloud-init-nonet gave up waiting for a network device.
[14:36] <vbernat>  
[14:36] <vbernat> how could I debug that?
[14:37] <vbernat> It seems that the DataSourceNoCloud can only be found once we have network...
[14:54] <smoser> vbernat, by default, even if it *did* find it... it would not "claim" it.
[14:54] <smoser> as the default operating mode for NoCloud is 'net'.
[14:54] <vbernat> smoser: what's the easier way to change that?
[14:55] <smoser> but then still the network insertion is < wonderful.
[14:55] <smoser> cloud-init needs work to be able to take network information from a datasource and do that well.
[14:56] <smoser> the easiest thing to do (sadly) is open the image and insert the /etc/network/interfaces file that you want.
[14:56] <smoser> or run a dhcp server. which... also seems sane to me :)
[14:56] <vbernat> smoser: thanks, modifying the image is not that hard (guestfish)
[14:58] <smoser> vbernat, if you trust the image, its easier than guestfish
[14:58] <smoser> http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2014/08/mount-image-callback-easily-modify.html
[15:01] <vbernat> smoser: looking at the source code more closely, if I put dsmode: local in meta-data, wouldn't that work?
[15:05] <smoser> maybe.
[15:05] <smoser> it is intended to work.
[15:05] <vbernat> hummm, seems to work
[15:06] <smoser> but cloud-init editing /etc/network/interfaces while the system is coming up is possibly not guaranteed.
[15:06] <vbernat> but doesn't make the network up just after that
[15:06] <smoser> it could be racy essentially.
[15:06] <vbernat> yeah
[16:26] <devicenull> hmm, 
[16:26] <devicenull> I've been running into "WARNING! Your environment specifies an invalid locale."
[16:26] <devicenull> and it gives a couple invalid apt commands for fixing it
[16:26] <devicenull> namely 'sudo apt-get install language-pack-en'
[21:42] <JayF> hey smoser :) I work with pquerna and will be working to upstream some of that work. I'm going to start off with bumping the version of openstack configdrive that cloud-init reads (so it gets the newer-enough version to see vendor_data.json)
