Hi -
I ran into an issue when trying to boot an instance via the "nova boot" command. I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment
Below is the log of running the following command:
~$nova boot lucid --flavor 2 --image <some_id>

###### end log
I commented the "Defaults requiretty" line in the sudoers file and that didn't work. I also added the "Defaults visiblepw" line to no avail (per http://www.f15ijp.com/2009/11/30/sudo-no-tty-present-and-no-askpass-program-specified/)
Here's my setup:
- XCP 1.1, single node
- The VM on which I installed openstack is ubuntu lucid (10.04).
Via XenCenter, I'm able to see that running "nova boot" adds the virtual disk to local storage named "Glance image <id>", but of course, because of the error above, it's unable to spawn the vm.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, while I myself go out and try to find a solution to this in parallel.
