No, no, no. Do not change your root password.
If you need to stay root for chores do this:
sudo su
<your password here>
this makes you root. Use "exit" to return to yourself.
If you are in a GUI...

I am working with Ubuntu's UEC right now. Currently I am creating an image of the computer I wish to use, several actually.

In regards to your thread, I also want a way to return to some starting...

It sounds like your instance starts.
euca-describe-instance
shows it as Running.
Is this true?

But you are given only 1G space for / and you need more.

Not to add confusion to the situation. /etc/apache2 is gone completely? Before you purged it? Where did it go? Did you accidentally rename it? Anyway, can you reinstall lamp successfully? What is the...

I found this link. At the bottom it mentions failures because the system they built the image on was encrypted.

Hi, raymdt

Remember. Each time you log into a new instance (even the same image) you re-create the keys on the instance. You must delete the original key from your known_keys file in the .ssh subdirectory. The...

Sorry. I went back and tried get-console on a pending instance. There are logs on the NCs in the same place as on the CLC. raymdt's suggestion to get an image that is known to work is where I would...

I have found increasing the space say from m1.small to c1.medium has worked for me. Also, see if euca-get-console-output gives you any information.

Welcome and good luck. I find UEC fascinating.

which user? When I log into the CLC to do some administration work I have a user account of my own. This user should be able to log into each computer in the system (CLC, CC, WC, NC, SC) and back if...

There's just too many places to start. What is the DSL/cable modem you are using, if indeed that is your access to the internet? Assuming your samba access is restricted to a local network, what is...

I just googled the image. I found this:

Hope it helps.

I have not done any work on lan booting or thin clients but here is some leads Ubuntu has in it's help site:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClients, and...

If you configuration requirements demand that you put your CC (Cluster Controller) on a different machine that the CLC (Cloud controller) you will have a different IP address than the CLC. It is...

hariv,
I am curious. Why do you want to create an instance with a virtual layer built into it? My interest started with system administrator. I have not created an instance for myself yet and adding...

I am going on the assumption that these three machines have nothing on them now.
I would start this way. Clean all three and install 10.04 with Node Controllers (NC). Install the CLC and the other...

Good points marrusl.
I think jinga52, you should swap your computers. The CLC is only a manager and i/o. There is not much need for power there. Your machine 1 (64 bit DELL Precision) sounds more...

I do not think there is anything that can be called a client in the UEC world. There is an instance (a virtual machine of many flavors) that is accessible from anywhere on the internet. If the...

Before using UEC consider this. Nodes can only run on VT hardware. If you want to make use of a bunch of machines you have they must comply. Ubuntu supports many cluster servers. Most have minimal...

I found out the hard way that every time you restart an instance it recreates the ssh key pair (not your mykey.priv). The one I created the first time I sshed in using ssh -i ~/.euca/mykey.priv...

My guess as to where games in the clouds is heading is something like:
In World of Warcraft or Second Life (future versions of both) your instance will connect to the really big box. Your instance...

Well, I am trying to think of any situation where a cloud would be the best or only form of user space/application. Nothing so far.
What is your current setup? Are you somehow restricted with...

You must say more.
What did you upgrade from? Did you use a GUI before and now it's gone? Maybe <ctrl><Alt><F7> will get you somewhere.
Are you really logged? I mean do you get linux responses when...

Can you reach the store yet? I would not suspect the meta-data file yet unless you created the image yourself.

You created your credietals twice. Make sure there are not two separate mykey.priv...

Your ssh key is not the same as the credentials (mykeys.priv) used by UEC. Open port 82 on your router if it is not already open. Open a CLI and SSH to your CLC. This will fail if you have a public...

Wow, that's a lot of stuff.
I'd first like to find out why I couldn't get to the store. Did you create you credentials?
None of the instances from the store has user accounts, nor do they let you...
