Self-made AMI small problem #17

Closed djoxy closed 9 years ago

djoxy commented 9 years ago

Hello again

I have created new private AMI with 2.72b blender on it and everything working fine but I cannot retrieve tail log from servers via brenda-tool I am getting this error:

ec2-54-197-165-4.compute-1.amazonaws.com Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".

I can log in via putty myself as a root without problems using my private *.pem file (not brenda one). When I log in I can see via the Top command that blender is working in a background and using all CPUs. So only problem is that I cannot get a log via brenda-tool, means I cannot see how fast does it renders.

Thanks

Ok I found the solution here

Seems that this solves problem temporary. Every time new instance is created it doesn't allows root access to it. Not sure where the problem is.

Found a solution: I manually edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg and enabled (false) root login. Now it works.
