Public bug reported:
My setup:
Trusty on an IBM Thinkpad x201.
Onboard Gigabit is static on 10.0.0.0 (The private MAAS lan)
Internet connectivity is via an 802.11n WiFi dongle
My internet connection is a 10Mbit ADSL line
I have installed and configured maas. The next step, per the
instructions here:
maas.ubuntu.com/docs/instal.html#import-the-boot-images
is this:
$ maas-cli maas nde-groups import-boot-images
While doing this, I observed that it first called maas-import-pxe-files
which ran to completion pulling all the PXE files and putting them in
/var/lib/maas/tftp/*
Next, it calls maas-import-ephemerals
This ran and did NOTHING. It just sat there, no network traffic in or
out, no disk activity, no data written to /var/lib/maas/ephemeral. I
left it sitting for over an hour and it never actually started
downloading any images .
I finally killed off the process and ran maas-import-ephemerals
manually. This time, it did begin downloading images, converting them
and copying them to /var/lib/maas/ephemerals. But then it just stopped
as though it had lost the connection th wherever it's downloading from,
or something. It never exited, it just ... paused and never restarted.
I let THIS sit for an hour and noticed that there was absolutely NO
further related network activity, disk activity or aything.
So I finally killed that process off as well.
Next, I tried breaking it down into smaller chunks like so:
$ sudo maas-import-ephemerals release=RELEASE
Doing it this way, I was able to fully download Saucy, Raring, Quantal
and Precise. Currently, trying with trusty does nothing (it doesn't
seem to do anything at all.
