FYI, I just created a review request for a new package cloud-initramfs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740955 This package provides the dracut module to resize the root partition of a cloud image on first boot. Thanks ...Juerg

keystone or dashboard problem?
by Vogel Nicolas 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've just made a new install with the latest version of the < RedHat getting started guide with Openstack Folsom > Revision 1.0-2. I'm using CentOS 6.3 for this install. After installing Openstack-keystone, I'm unable to perform "keystone user-list" and "keystone token-get". I have sourced the keystonerc_username file but the system says "Expecting an endpoint provided via either --endpoint or env[SERVICE_ENDPOINT]". When I'm explicitly given the endpoint in the command line, the output is "Configuration error: Client configured to run without a service catalog. Run the client using --os-auth-url or OS_AUTH_URL, instead of --os-endpoint or OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT, for example." But the OS_AUTH_URL is configured in my keystonerc_username file so I don't understand why the system asks for it. I can then all the installation steps without problems, but after I given my credentials in the dashboard login page (admin/secret or username/secret), I got "Internal Server Error". Is that linked with the first problem from Keystone? I'm searching for more information in logs but currently I found no answer to my questions. Thanks for help, Nicolas.

fedora cloud images (non ec2 providers)
by Giulio Fidente 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

hi all, in recent times I found myself (as also other people) on the lookout for some 'official' fedora cloud images people on #fedora-cloud pointed me at: http://mattdm.fedorapeople.org/cloud-images/ those worked quite well for me and, when they didn't, I just built some using Oz I was wondering if there is any work ongoing to announce those more officially or if any help is wanted to rebuild/maintain some more images I'd be happy to help with that, but I'm not sure what would be the best approach to it Please excuse me if the topic has been discussed already but I've only joined the mailing list in recent times. -- Giulio Fidente IRC: giulivo

Re: cloud Digest, Vol 38, Issue 21

Imagefactory is more than a REST interface to oz. Oz creates a JEOS image. The customization that oz performs is limited to installing additional packages or running commands within a VM started with the JEOS image. Oz does not have knowledge of what needs to be added or how an image needs to be translated for a specific virtualization platform or cloud target. This is what imgfac brings to the party. I really wish we could get past the notion that imagefactory is just a REST interface to oz. What are we doing wrong on imgfac.org that leads people to see imagefactory this way? Maybe I should be happy about this, because it means we're doing a good job of hiding what is needed to go from base image to provider image for cloud targets like EC2 and vSphere. -steve On Feb 27, 2013, at 6:00 AM, cloud-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org wrote: > ------------------------------ > > Message: 5 > Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 12:06:19 +0100 > From: Giulio Fidente <gfidente(a)fedoraproject.org> > To: Fedora Cloud SIG <cloud(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> > Subject: Re: fedora cloud images (non ec2 providers) > Message-ID: <512DE8AB.6060909(a)fedoraproject.org> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > On 02/26/2013 08:40 PM, Matthew Miller wrote: >> On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 06:05:45PM +0100, Giulio Fidente wrote: >>> I was wondering if there is any work ongoing to announce those more >>> officially or if any help is wanted to rebuild/maintain some more images >> >> Hi Giulio.

Handling differences between EPEL and Fedora
by Juerg Haefliger 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

All, I'm in the process of building the dracut package that goes along with cloud-utils. I need to install different files for Fedora vs. EPEL (due to the different versions of dracut). How is this best handled? Can I just key off of a macro in the spec file? %if fedora <-- What goes here? cp A B C %else cp X Y C %endif Or do I need to check for the dracut version somehow? If so, how can this be accomplished at package build time? Thanks ...Juerg

[PATCH] add a PTY console; & use a UNIX domain socket for better security
by Kashyap Chamarthy 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

A couple of small additions: - Add a PTY serial console, so that "virsh console foo" works out of the box (once the guest is installed). - Use a UNIX domain socket server (for better security) as a character device instead of a TCP port.

[PATCH] Add the serial conole atrribute in kickstart files for Fedora 14-18
by Kashyap Chamarthy 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

A simple patch to add serial console attribute to kickstart files Fedora {14,15,16,17,18}. Although, kickstart files for RHEL and Fedora releases prior to Fedora-14 had the serial console attribute added. So I guess, it's a minor over look. --- oz/auto/fedora-14-jeos.ks | 2 +- oz/auto/fedora-15-jeos.ks | 2 +- oz/auto/fedora-16-jeos.ks | 2 +- oz/auto/fedora-17-jeos.ks | 2 +- oz/auto/fedora-18-jeos.ks | 2 +- 5 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/oz/auto/fedora-14-jeos.ks b/oz/auto/fedora-14-jeos.ks index fd2b5ea876b23cd23052e66d761d0dd7ba4f9eed..dd534c600e21fc986ea1c72e9300b9fb1154643e 100644 --- a/oz/auto/fedora-14-jeos.ks +++ b/oz/auto/fedora-14-jeos.ks @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York -bootloader --location=mbr +bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" zerombr clearpart --all --drives=vda diff --git a/oz/auto/fedora-15-jeos.ks b/oz/auto/fedora-15-jeos.ks index fd2b5ea876b23cd23052e66d761d0dd7ba4f9eed..dd534c600e21fc986ea1c72e9300b9fb1154643e 100644 --- a/oz/auto/fedora-15-jeos.ks +++ b/oz/auto/fedora-15-jeos.ks @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York -bootloader --location=mbr +bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" zerombr clearpart --all --drives=vda diff --git a/oz/auto/fedora-16-jeos.ks b/oz/auto/fedora-16-jeos.ks index d1290ecded73cb3ffedc7fdaa54ae0e9b8412947..ebcbfe178f9e5f6db94330b62d5abf58b7fceb14 100644 --- a/oz/auto/fedora-16-jeos.ks +++ b/oz/auto/fedora-16-jeos.ks @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York -bootloader --location=mbr +bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" zerombr clearpart --all --drives=vda diff --git a/oz/auto/fedora-17-jeos.ks b/oz/auto/fedora-17-jeos.ks index 19b5f288c063e129cf0fd480df52f4a9be89f920..2a8b0f3736010d5c038d0be27fdcd8a67c0f7eb2 100644 --- a/oz/auto/fedora-17-jeos.ks +++ b/oz/auto/fedora-17-jeos.ks @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York -bootloader --location=mbr +bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" zerombr clearpart --all --drives=vda diff --git a/oz/auto/fedora-18-jeos.ks b/oz/auto/fedora-18-jeos.ks index e62399a4a65f43c0518e2d101e48f79aeeb0651e..e19960078fcc0b1bb24908f32f3c559a521103a9 100644 --- a/oz/auto/fedora-18-jeos.ks +++ b/oz/auto/fedora-18-jeos.ks @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/New_York -bootloader --location=mbr +bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" zerombr clearpart --all --drives=vda -- 1.7.7.6

Keystone on Rawhide tracebacks around sqlalchemy
by Pete Zaitcev 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Greetings: When I try to run Keystone, it blows up with this: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/migrate/versioning/schema.py", line 10, in <module> from sqlalchemy import exceptions as sa_exceptions ImportError: cannot import name exceptions python-sqlalchemy-0.8.0-0.1.b1.fc19.x86_64 openstack-keystone-2013.1-0.2.g2.fc19.noarch Weird thing is, I'm not trying to migrate anything anywhere. Just launching a new Keystone with "keystone-manage db_sync". Does it work for anyone else? Thanks, -- Pete

Hi, I am using Fedora 18, and I am using AWS services directly login to the aws console. I did a yum search for aws tools for Fedora but no luck. Highly appreciate if some help me to setup.
