Shep, Those steps are great. I'll be running through them, the devstack and any other info I've collated and update the bug I originally raised that caused me the pain that tipped me over the edge ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/953989) Adam, the other bugs raised in the last day

Hi Shep and others - A couple of questions to enhance my understanding while I walk through this for the install doc. Service Tenant - do you create just one service tenant to enclose all the service users? Glance Service User - do you create a Nova Service User and a Swift Service User also?

Yeah, one service tenant, and then service accounts for each of nova, glance, quantum, swift. I've got a review that's updating this detail in the keystone docs right now (https://review.openstack.org/#change,5348) The catalog can be either the template (in which case, you don't use commands,

Cheers Padraig - I'll grab a Fedora install and compare notes. I guess if Fedora has an installation candidate, the problem is probably Ubuntu packaging - at least I can direct my issues at Ubuntu rather than OpenStack as a whole... Kev 2012/3/13 Pádraig Brady p...@draigbrady.com On

Hi Kevin, As others have said, I can only speak to what I'm familiar with ( the Managed I.T. packages). They should be fairly up-to-date, there has been very few bugfixes to the stable branch that I'm aware of since I last updated the packages. Re EC2 compatibility, they are as compatible as

Thanks a lot for the points Andi (and the links), but not to stray away from my original post: I don't want complexity at this stage - I want a single server that works. I haven't even got that. I had a multi node set up working (to some degree of butchery) of an early Essex-1 release using

Adam (and others I've not instantly replied to), Thanks for the reply. I understand that OpenStack (moving target) on Ubuntu (moving target) is no mean feat, but I no doubt expect a lot of people are in the same boat as me. Ubuntu (and other distros) have set a certain level of expectation for

Just my 2 cents. Shouldn't openstack be dependent only on a known set of package versions and not a distro? It seems like it should be the job of openstack to define those versions and let the distro's match that as they choice. If 12.04 matches these versions, then it should work, if
