Don't ask me why I installed the aptitude "task" group uec on my ubuntu 10.04.2 server edition virtualbox image. I wanted to have a minimal streamlined ubuntu virtual machine for developing for Heroku cedar stack which is based on ubuntu 10.04 and ruby1.9.2
My virtualbox host machine is running the linux-server(pae) kernel with dkms compiled virtualbox-ose kernel module loaded. Almost every boot/service hang can be addressed by holding shift on boot and choosing the (single user) recovery kernel/initramfs image in grub/lilo. From there, I can choose command prompt with networking and uninstall services like cloud-init. Then i could reboot. Because of this design problem, Cloud-init by default runs before the recovery menu appears. At a minimum, I wish cloud-init would resume to the recovery console after 100 attempts so I could fix this. Possibly there may be a key sequence or kernel parameter that I could add to the recovery grub boot menu that would allow me to disable this server on a one shot basis? -- 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/745930 Title: cloud-init timeout waiting for metadata service on EC2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/745930/+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
