Well, if you can help figure out what is going wrong, then I'll fix that in the images. Just looking through code, I can't see what would be doing it other than you passing a kernel command line option to your instances of 'nosshd' . But surely you'd know that. > and then I'm unable to ssh to my instance: I'm getting "connection refused", > because there's no sshd runnng on port 22. > > The weird thing is, when I repeat the same Openstack/nova installation > procedure a few days later, I would typically not get this issue. > Then after another installation attempt yet a few days later the issue would > crop up again. > > Does any recognize this error or know what it means?

There is a bug that I should fix where the image tries to figure out if this is a slow system, and if so, it will not generate ssh keys. clearly you *always* want ssh keys generated if its your only access to the system even if it takes a long time. > The only thing that MIGHT be a factor is that at one point I pulled sources > from Launchpad/Bazaar and next time I used the Git mirror. > I could try that again and see if that's the culprit.

Could you give a url to exactly what you're using as the ttylinux image? I've recently been working on this some, and I plan to start making those things with more sane version numbers than are present now. the recent snapshots i have at http://smoser.brickies.net/ubuntu/ttylinux-uec/dev/ support running under nova-lxc also. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
