[04:28] <ausfestivus> afternoon. Anyone here able to assist with a cloud-init issue? I am unsure how best to go about isolating the root cause of the problem
[04:37] <ausfestivus> ill describe the issue anyway and see if anyone wants to have a stab at it
[04:38] <ausfestivus> Deploying an Ubuntu 18.04LTS VM on Azure.
[04:38] <ausfestivus> Intermittently, cloud-init will fails with:
[04:38] <ausfestivus> Fetched 18.7 MB in 6s (2935 kB/s)Reading package lists...E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
[04:39] <ausfestivus> For some reason it appears that two `apt` commands are running
[04:39] <ausfestivus> I am unsure why this is so
[04:39] <ausfestivus> cloud-config simply says:
[04:39] <ausfestivus> ```cloud-config simply says:
[04:40] <ausfestivus> package_upgrade: truepackages:- jq- chrony- ipvsadm
[04:40] <ausfestivus> apols for the formatting
[04:40] <ausfestivus> package_upgrade: truepackages: (new line, list of packages in the correct format)
[04:41] <ausfestivus> anyway, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Feels like a race condition to me in the sequencing of cloud-init
[04:41] <ausfestivus> but im not an expert so figured it wouldnt hurt to seek some guidance here
[09:56] <meena> Odd_Bloke: re, meena> that seems like an interesting omission… ← calling the thing that makes it work.
[13:37] <Odd_Bloke> meena: Yeah, it only happens with wifi, which is the puzzling part.
[13:39] <Odd_Bloke> ausfestivus: Thanks for the report!  For future reference, a pastebin service like https://paste.ubuntu.com/ makes it a lot easier to communicate multi-line files.  That does look like a race of some description; is this an official Ubuntu image in Azure?
[13:40] <Odd_Bloke> (There have been races between cloud-init and unattended-updates in the past, but I believe those have been resolved.)

[16:17] <meetingology> Current chairs: Odd_Bloke blackboxsw rharper smoser
[16:17] <blackboxsw> our IRC channel topic carries the next planned status meeting for those that wish to participate. All are welcome to interject or drive converstation topics here
[16:18] <blackboxsw> I'll set the next status meeting topic while we are thinking about it.
[16:18] <blackboxsw> 2 weeks from today, same time 16:15 UTC.
[16:18] <blackboxsw> May 19th it is.
[16:19] <blackboxsw> Previous meeting minutes live over on github
[16:19] <blackboxsw> #link https://cloud-init.github.io/
[16:19] <blackboxsw> The topics we generally cover in this meeting are the following: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress Development, Community Charter, Upcoming Meetings, Office Hours (~30 mins).
[16:20] <blackboxsw> #topic Previous Actions
[16:20] <blackboxsw> Looks like no unresolved actions from last meeting
[16:20] <blackboxsw> #topic Recent Changes
[16:22] <blackboxsw> Below is a list of commits that have landed in tip of master: found via git log --since 2020-03-10
[16:22] <blackboxsw> #link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YMb2Tw3tRD/
[16:23] <blackboxsw> We've had a number of milestones since the last status meeting, Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04 was released on Apr 23, cloud-init upstream cut a release 20.2 as well
[16:23] <blackboxsw> Additionally we have two new hires to the canonical ubuntu-server team that will be participating in cloud-init, curtin and ubuntu-advantage-tools projects
[16:24] <blackboxsw> We are really excited to have some extra hands on cloud-init from lucasmoura and falcojr. So welcome gentlemen, glad to have the help.
[16:25] <blackboxsw> They just started yesterday and are going through a bit of onboarding this week, but expect to see them around in cloud-init shortly. I believe they have both landed their first PRs to get added as a contributor to cloud-init.
[16:26] <blackboxsw> #topic In-progress Development
[16:26] <blackboxsw> #link https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pulls
[16:27] <blackboxsw> ok active review queue is really getting well maintained now that we've adopted PR assignment. Thanks for helping is land branches quickly folks.
[16:28] <blackboxsw> Generally upstream has set a couple of long-term goals for cloud-init in the next development cycle
[16:28] <blackboxsw> - wrap up cloud-init daemon mode (to reduce boot time by loading python only once)
[16:28] <blackboxsw> - OpenStack network hotplug handling from cloud-init
[16:29] <blackboxsw> - Potentially a new LXD datasource for handling container deployments
[16:29] <blackboxsw> - better json schema coverage for the remaining oncovered cloud config modules.
[16:30] <blackboxsw> #topic Community Charter
[16:31] <blackboxsw> We continue to categorize more bitesize bugs in cloud-init.
[16:31] <blackboxsw> #link  https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize
[16:32] <blackboxsw> These bugs are themed at doc updates and json schema improvements across all of cloud-init, but we continue to seed that bug tag with items which should be easy to drop in and make a lasting impact on cloud-init
[16:33] <blackboxsw> All cloud-init contributors are encouraged to participate in any part of the cloud-init lifecycle, from bug filing, to fixing, to release testing and PR reviews. Thanks to everyone who continues to build the cloud-init community!
[16:33] <blackboxsw> #topic Office hours (next ~30 mins)
[16:35] <blackboxsw> During this stage we have a some focus time on cloud-init development and community support. Any questions, concerns, reviews or request for help/triage are most welcome. We should have a couple of upstream developers with eyes on this channel.
[16:36] <blackboxsw> In the absence of discussion, we'll groom the active PR review queue and/or work additional cloud-init dev items.
[16:38] <blackboxsw> community-notice: Ubuntu plans  to release cloud-init version 20.2 to Ubuntu's new development release 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). We expect to start an Ubuntu StableReleaseUpdate into xenial, bionic, eoan and  focal within the next 2 weeks.
[17:33] <blackboxsw> alrighty, think that about wraps today's status meeting. Happy Cinco De Mayo folks
