| [10:30] <CatKiller> Hi there! I've got a small issue with cloud-init on Ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition | |
| [10:30] <CatKiller> I've successfully installed it, but it seems that "dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init" fails with an error | |
| [10:30] <CatKiller> When ran, it opens the curses menu correctly, I can for instance pick another source | |
| [10:31] <CatKiller> but when I save, I get a few errors and the values of datasource_list remain unchangfed | |
| [10:31] <CatKiller> Here's a paste of the errors | |
| [10:31] <CatKiller> http://bpaste.net/show/nH2m5x3oKxGYP8cmrmBs/ | |
| [10:31] <CatKiller> dpkg-reconfigure returns "0" on exit though | |
| [10:32] <CatKiller> Also the strange thing is that if I look in reconfigure, only the OpenStack datasource is selected. | |
| [10:32] <CatKiller> But if I look into /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg only CloudStack appears on the datasource_list | |

| [17:21] <smoser> CatKiller, bug 1325746 | |
| [17:32] <CatKiller> smoser: Thanks! | |
| [17:33] <smoser> i'm gonna upload that to proposed today | |
| [17:34] <smoser> but it will be at least 7 days till its in trusty-proposed | |
| [17:35] <CatKiller> Well I can probably compile and install cloud-init from source otherwise | |
| [17:35] <CatKiller> purge the apt installed package | |
| [17:35] <CatKiller> and just get the very latest | |
| [17:35] <CatKiller> Also another question | |
| [17:36] <CatKiller> I then changed /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg "by hand" to include OpenStack and Ec2 | |
| [17:37] <CatKiller> However when I run "cloud-init init" it doesn't seem to try to connect to the metadata server | |
| [17:37] <smoser> you can. but whenver dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init runs it screws it. | |
| [17:37] <smoser> you probably have to run 'cloud-init init --local' first | |
| [17:37] <CatKiller> Could that be that dpkg-reconfigure does more than just setting the metadata sources? | |
| [17:37] <smoser> as that will remove some state | |
| [17:39] <CatKiller> smoser: I'll try that too, thanks | |
| [17:45] <CatKiller> smoser: omg it worked. Thanks a lot. Not sure what that did though ;) | |
| [17:47] <smoser> CatKiller, sudo rm -f /var/lib/cloud/instance | |
| [17:47] <smoser> is about it really. | |
| [17:47] <smoser> since it had all ran before it found the 'None' data source. so running it again just said "already found". | |
| [17:51] <CatKiller> ahhhh ok | |
| [17:51] <CatKiller> smoser: I get it, I was wondering what all this data was about | |
| [17:51] <CatKiller> smoser: So basically, in the base image that directoy | |
| [17:51] <CatKiller> *directory should be empty | |
| [17:52] <smoser> well, its a symlink | |
| [17:52] <smoser> so it doesn't really matter. | |
| [17:52] <smoser> when it finds a datasource, it links that tot he current data. | |
| [17:52] <smoser> and other data is otherwise ignroed | |
| [17:56] <CatKiller> smoser: OK cool, that makes a bit of sense | |
| [17:57] <CatKiller> smoser: On a clean image, should I delete the entire contents of /var/lib/cloud then? | |
| [17:57] <CatKiller> I've noticed that this directory only gets populated the first time cloud-init runs | |
| [17:57] <CatKiller> So that I can leave cloud-init pick the "right" data source on boot? | |
| [18:01] <smoser> you can. | |
| [18:01] <smoser> you dont need to | |
| [18:02] <smoser> but you can | |
| [18:02] <smoser> on boot, cloud-init --local gets run | |
| [18:02] <smoser> so it will always pick the right datasource | |
