[03:08] <smoser> felipe1982: if you have an older version of cloud-init, you may not  have the cloud-init-output.log enabled. and it will just go to wherever the init system output goes (probably /dev/console)
[03:08] <smoser> but, yeah, you probalby can run that as blackboxsw pointed out
[03:24] <felipe1982> amazon linux 2 is quite new. I would have assumed it was latest [enough]
[03:25] <felipe1982> what version would I need for *boothook* to write to /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
[14:17] <Odd_Bloke> Just realised that I did all of my testing for the Oracle secondary VNICs branch with a local change to prefer data source network config over initramfs config.
[14:17] <Odd_Bloke> So a follow up MP will be coming Real Soon Now.
[14:38] <Odd_Bloke> rharper: blackboxsw: https://code.launchpad.net/~daniel-thewatkins/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/371403 <-- actually enable Oracle secondary VNICs (instead of just generating config which would enable them and throwing it away)
[15:24] <smoser> :q
[15:24] <smoser> oops
[15:40] <Odd_Bloke> rharper: On https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1799301, I think the problem is that it _does_ use sysconfig and we don't detect that we should be using sysconfig, right?  Or are you wondering if the Fedora comment is actually a distinct bug?
[15:40] <rharper> Odd_Bloke: yes; but it seems to be related to where the additional files we check are located
[15:41] <rharper>    'etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions',
[15:41] <rharper>         'etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth'
[15:41] <rharper> we look for those; I wondered why Fedora wouldn't have those if they're still using sysconfig
[15:41] <rharper> w.r.t OpenSuSE; they have different paths
[15:42] <rharper> at least in some of the releases; hence the bug
[17:09] <blackboxsw> per my ubuntu-drivers branch I think there is an option to provide debconf-set-selections instead of cloud-init knowing to write out /etc/default/linux-modules-nvidia. I'm exploring that option now since we already do debconf-set-selections for byobu, ca-certs and grub
[17:37] <rharper> blackboxsw: ok;  writing out the line in the conf is going to be faster/cheaper than invoking debconf ;  if the config value or what needs emitting is expected to change ; that does abstract cloud-init from those sorts of changes;
[18:00] <blackboxsw> rharper: Odd_Bloke smoser: for those interested, the 2nd commit on my branch updates cloud-init to just use debconf-set-selections, making it also a much smaller branch. (assuming that is the right selection value. I like abstracting cloud-init from the config implementation details if possible, in case they change. Even if it is a little slower for the corner-case deployment where cloud-init user is on gpgpu.
[18:00] <blackboxsw> https://code.launchpad.net/~chad.smith/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/371369
[18:00] <blackboxsw> so if we like the 2nd commit more than the first. I can rebase and squash of we get confirmation that debconf-set-selection is valid
[18:03] <blackboxsw> *if we get confirmation*
