Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online
with the irc logs here.

Review ServerGuide for Intrepid

sommer updated the virtualization parts of the server guide: the vmbuilder and JeOS sections have been merged. Most of the content has now been updated for the Intrepid release.

ACTION: mathiaz to update the support section

Ubuntu vm builder

nijaba has updated the tutorial. In the process a couple of bugs have been found. Most of them are minor though.

KVM

kirkland triaged a lot of kvm and libvirt bugs and stated that kvm seemed to be working better than it ever had in intrepid. mathiaz asked about support for virtio block devices. kirkland hasn’t tested that use case yet.

Ubuntu Server Survey

nijaba reported that the ubuntu server survey had reached 3000 responses. The launch plan has also been completed.

DRBD

ivoks nailed down the issue with DRBD in intrepid. The userspace tools have to be upgraded to 8.2.6 to match the kernel module version. A FFexception request has been prepared.

mathiaz asked if the collaboration with the Kernel Team on DRBD could be improved. Whenever the kernel module is updated in the Ubuntu kernels the user space tools also need to be updated. ivoks mentioned that the packaging of the userspace tools should be improved during the next release cycle. mathiaz suggested to discuss this issue during the next UDS.

Bacula SRU

ivoks fixed the bacula segfault in hardy. One tester reported that it was working correctly now.

ACTION: zul to look into SRUing bacula sigsegv – bug 227613

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 14th at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

  • Ubuntu 9.10 Byobu and OpenWeek Session
    I thought I would provide a brief set of highlights about Byobu accomplishments during the Karmic development cycle, now that we have released Ubuntu 9.10. Also, I'd like to promote my Ubuntu Open Week Presentation on Byobu, which is scheduled for 18:00 UTC, tomorrow, Tuesday November 3, 2009. It will included a live demonstration, in Amazon EC2. Be pre […]
  • Ubuntu Karmic Release Party in Austin
    30+ Ubuntu enthusiasts, free software developers, hackers, beer drinkers, and spouses attended Austin's Karmic Release Party on Thursday, October 29, 2009, celebrating the spectacular Ubuntu 9.10 release.We filled half of the dining space at Aussie's, an Australian-themed volleyball beach bar--in honor of our Koala mascot and the Ubuntu Enterprise […]
  • Ubuntu Virtualization Poll - Your Feedback Requested!
    We're still a week away from releasing Ubuntu 9.10, which I'm sure will be a phenomenal server release, with huge strides in virtualization and cloud hosting. The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud should be the most complete open source cloud hosting solution in the industry.But we're also beginning to prepare for the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Dallas, […]

  • karmic and log rotation
    In Ubuntu’s Karmic and and Debian’s Lenny, sysklogd was replaced with rsyslog. This is fine, since rsyslog will have converted your /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. However, if you modified the (maddeningly strange sysklogd-specific) log file rotation in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd or /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd, you’ll want t […]
  • TPM as RNG
    I was reminded about some TPM coding I’d done to get random bytes from the pRNG on my TPM-enabled system from Matt Domsch’s recent post. I’m not fully convinced that the pRNG of the TPM is an appropriate source of entropy, but it does pass my simple FIPS-140-2 test. I had to find the Intel TPM docs to figure out how to enable TPM on my syst […]
  • uninstall sun-java6
    With the vrms meme raging on Planet Ubuntu, I noticed some people still have sun-java6 installed. I’ve been using openjdk-6 since Hardy, and everything I use works fine with it (e.g. Vuze, Catan, Eclipse, FreeMind, and even Facebook’s photo uploader thing). Given the Ubuntu Tech Board’s “remove sun-java6 from the archive” Agenda […]

  • Sep 20 – Sep 25 Wrap-up
    Spent most of my week in Portland to attend conferences. Conferences Attended LDAPCon 2009 and published report. Attended LinuxCon 2009. Image Store Proxy Updated image-store-proxy to 1.0. This version brings support for gpg signed images. Still need testing against the real-world Canonical Image Store infrastructure.
  • A summary of LDAPCon 2009
    On Sunday, September 20th and Monday, September 21st I attended LDAPCon 2009 in Portland, OR. Most of the open source projects were there – with the notable absence of Port 389 (Redhat) – as well as some vendors (Apple and UnboundID). Most of the slides are available online. Apache Directory project The Apache Directory folks gave several present […]
  • Sep 11 – Sep 18 Wrap-up
    Image-store-proxy Package image-store-proxy to enable the Image Store tab in Eucalyptus. The package (python-image-store-proxy) has made its way to main and on the -server isos in time for alpha6 with the help of Thierry and Kees. Server-karmic-directory-enabled-user-login Kept on investigating the use of puppet to build an ldap/krb5 infrastructure on EC2. I […]

  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 3
    In part 1 and part 2 of this series, we saw how to set up a minimal cloud infrastructure and bundle a basic image (and test it). In this final article, we’ll play with our cloud from an end-user perspective. Setting up the web UI First of all, before accepting end users, as the administrator of the cloud you will have to setup a few things on the web U […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 2
    In part 1 of this series, we saw how to install the cloud infrastructure. In this article, we’ll bundle and upload an EMI (Eucalyptus Machine Image), based on Ubuntu Server 9.10 Beta, and validate that we can run an instance of it. Download required elements Go to the cloud/cluster controller and download the required items. For a 64-bit image: $ URL= […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 1
    Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud is the product, powered by Eucalyptus, that allows you to easily run your own Amazon-EC2-like private cloud. It’s a lot simpler than you’d think. With the recent Ubuntu Server 9.10 beta release, you are now able to easily deploy that infrastructure from the CD installer. Prerequisites To deploy a minimal cloud infrastructu […]

  • What Ubuntu Server *could* be
    I'm glad Thierry started this discussion. About six months ago when we were first beginning to talk about what to do in Jaunty, I sat down and wrote a bunch of notes that I meant to turn into a blog post, but it never made it farther than an e-mail to a few people, but now that we're sharing visions, I thought I'd post it. Disclaimer: These ar […]
  • gtk-vnc and virt-viewer mozilla plugins
    Another cool thing that's new in Jaunty that I've never gotten around to bloggin about is the fact that the virt-viewer and gtk-vnc packages in Ubuntu now provide mozilla-virt-viewer and mozilla-gtk-vnc, respectively. This means you can now put something like or this: in a web page and have access to virtual machines or other VNC servers directly i […]

    I'm very pleased to announce the availability of Eucalyptus in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope! From the package description: EUCALYPTUS is an open source service overlay that implements elastic computing using existing resources. The goal of EUCALYPTUS is to allow sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to co-host an elastic computing service th […]
