ugh. I'm somewhat baffled on how this can happen.
WARNING:INSTANCE i-39AC0623: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cloudinit/DataSourceEc2.py", line 64, in get_instance_id WARNING:INSTANCE i-39AC0623: return(self.metadata['instance-id']) That indicates that somehow, the 'metadata' member of self (DataSourceEc2.py) does not have an 'instance-id' field. That field gets populated in cloudinit/DataSourceEc2.py's get_data, which does something like: try: if not self.wait_for_metadata_service(): return False self.userdata_raw = boto_utils.get_instance_userdata(self.api_ver) self.metadata = boto_utils.get_instance_metadata(self.api_ver) return True self.wait_for_metadata_service is an attempt to make sure the metadata service is up before calling boto's get_instance_userdata and get_instance_metadata methods to populate the members. both of get_instance_userdata and get_instance_metadata also take precautions to wait on the metadata service. So, it appears that the metadata service was correctly parsed / crawled by boto, and that it did not have an 'instance-id' field . -- UEC guests sometimes fail on consuming user data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
