Eucalyptus status

Eucalyptus is currently at 1.6~bzr919-0ubuntu3. We expect a last upstream merge today, and it’s likely to be > rev925 so we should wait for it before merging (fixes for 430266 and 449944). It should be delivered before 5pm PST on Tuesday. 432154 is still stuck on integration of an upstream patch that might fix SCSI attach. 446023 is also on kirkland’s tasklist and should get fixed asap. 446841 needs some upstream help which nurmi should provide today.

UEC/EC2 images

All serious bugs have now been squashed. 440757 is next on smoser’s list. 444605 should now be marked as completed, since slangasek agreed that with the -kernel-info.txt file and even just the manifest we have what we need.

Server Team bugmail

zul went through the server-ship seeds to make sure that the server team is subscribed to the bugmail for the stuff in the seeds and came up with a list of missing items. After some minor cleanups (packages no longer in the archive that should be removed from the seed), we agreed that this list should be added to ubuntu-server package list.

ACTION: zul to add missing server-ship packages to ubuntu-server

RC – FinalFreeze ahead

FinalFreeze is coming up this Thursday, so most fixes should be in by Wednesday. Only release-critical fixes will be granted an exception after that date. A server bug day will be held Wednesday to help catching the missing bugs that should be targeted to release. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20091014 for more information.

Agree on next meeting date and time

We are still trying to find the best time for this meeting. Something along the lines of what the desktop team uses (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/MeetingTime) could be used to help in the process.

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 20th at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

  • Results of the Ubuntu Virtualization Survey

I am pleased to share the results with you now.ResultsAnswersI will provide a few of my own observations, but we are very interested in your own conclusions!There were a total of 354 responses -- excellent feedback!Nearly 2/3 of all responders use virtualization on Ubuntu every d […]
  • Introducing Testdrive!
    I'm pleased to introduce a new package I have created for Ubuntu called testdrive!Testdrive makes it simple to run any Ubuntu release in a virtual machine, safely, and without affecting your current Ubuntu installation.This is a great way to "try out" the Ubuntu release beyond your current version, before upgrading. For example, if you're […]
  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • UDS Lucid
    This week, Dallas hosts the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the Lucid Lynx release. This is the key moment where we define what will be done for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and discuss how it will be done. There will be plenty of interesting sessions in all the tracks, and sometimes I wish I could attend two sessions at the same time. In the server track, Monday will have […]
  • 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= […]
