Or will different juju environments share the same master node?
Bryan's questions
As examples, either based on node name or on system requirements?
Or must juju randomly choose a node as the master from the list of available MAAS nodes?
Does each juju environment specified require its own master node, or will different juju environments share the same master node?
Moderator Note: This was merged by mistake. Apologies. As merging can't be undone I've got egg on my face. Bryan if you'd please open a new question with the same subject in order to continue.
Or, is this a job for juju instead?
When commissioning a new node, what username/password does MAAS assign to the node after the OS is installed?
I've been reading up on how to deploy an OpenStack environment on some Ubuntu servers... I found some info on deploying and configuring it manually and I found some info on deploying it using Orchestra for provisioning server hardware and Juju for installing OpenStack nodes.
The manual install instructions included steps for installing and configuring Swift as part of the OpenStack environment, but neither the Orchestra/Juju instructions in section 2.2 here nor the instructions on slide 41 here include anything about Swift. Has anyone attempted to include Swift when deploying OpenStack with Orchestra and Juju? Charms for Swift do seem to exist (swift, swift-proxy, swift-storage), but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to use them...
Most, if not all, the user interface updated correctly when I went from Natty to Oneiric but the system button did not. How can I get rid of the ugly purple monitor icon to be replaced with the new icon used by Oneiric? Is it a Unity-2D thing?
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and I was wondering if it's possible to show a login banner with text... my company's IT policy requires that some generic text be shown at login. I've seen where you can change the background, so I guess I could make a background with the text in it, but I wanted to see if there is another way.
In Ubuntu 11.04, I was able to do this with the following commands...
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text "`cat issue.txt`"
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text_nochooser "`cat issue.txt`"
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and I was wondering if it's possible to not list all the current users and instead require the user to type in their username? My company's IT policies require that users not be listed on login screens.
In Ubuntu 11.04, I was able to do this with the following commands...
$ sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
Has anyone had luck using Kerberos tickets generated with kinit in Chromium for authenticating to websites?
The company I work for supports Kerberos authentication to internal websites, and I'm able to configure Firefox to use generated Kerberos tickets by configuring network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris and network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris but I don't if/how I can do this in Chromium...
I'm wondering if it's possible to get UFW to list the configured firewall rules even when it's not enabled. I only have ssh access to the server at this time, and I don't want to enable UFW if there's not a rule configured allowing ssh. However, since UFW is currently not enabled, I just get an "inactive" message when I run "ufw status".
Is there a special flag I can use or even some config file I can look at to see what rules are configured even when the firewall is disabled?
I use Places > Connect to Server...
to connect to a Windows share in my work environment (requires Kerberos authentication). When I do so, I can access the Windows share via Nautilus, but I can't figure out how to access the share from the command line without using smbclient
.
For example, the share isn't mounted under /mnt
or /media
. I also looked into ~/.gvfs
but that's empty as well.
Is it possible to access the mounted Windows share from the command line without using smbclient
?
I'm running Ubuntu on an Eee PC with the Netbook interface. I installed Ubuntu Desktop via Aptitude to see how well it works on the Eee PC, and after a while I wanted to rid myself of it. So, I purged it using Aptitude, but it still shows up as an option in the dropdown menu on the login screen.
Is there any way I can remove the Ubuntu Desktop option from the dropdown menu? It's not a big deal I guess... I'm just curious now how to do it. :)
