I was able to recreate the original problem of bug 800824 by doing the following on a precise instance: - setup the instance, get source roots of the ubuntu-cloud lxc root: for r in oneiric precise quantal; do \ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n source-$r-amd64 -- \ --release $r --arch amd64 --stream daily; done - RELEASE="oneiric" - sudo apt-get install lxc - sudo lxc-clone -o source-$RELEASE-amd64 $RELEASE-amd64 - edit /var/lib/lxc/$RELEASE-amd64/rootfs/etc/init/cloud-init-nonet.conf commenting out the 'start networking' line. - sudo lxc-start --name=$RELEASE-amd64 - Here, you will see the cloud-init nonet timeout, and wait for 120 seconds before seeing a tty prompt. - sudo lxc-stop -n $RELEASE-amd64 - sudo lxc-destroy --name=$RELEASE-amd64
If you do *not* comment the line out in cloud-init-nonet.conf, you will see the cloud-init output and boot quickly. Repeating the above process for RELEASE=precise will show both cases working RELEASE=oneiric with 'start networking' : boots quickly RELEASE=oneiric without 'start-networking': timeout RELEASE=precise with 'start networking' : boots quickly RELEASE=precise without 'start-networking': timeout RELEASE=quantal with 'start networking' : boots quickly RELEASE=quantal without 'start-networking': timeout On quantal, the cloud-init output in the timeout case looks like: Cloud-init v. 0.7 running 'init-local' at Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:09:07 +0000. Up 5131.22 seconds. cloud-init-nonet waiting 120 seconds for a network device. What is the correct fix here? ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031065 Title: cloud-init-nonet runs 'start networking' explicitly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1031065/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
