Using Octane Cloud Workstation (Linux) AMI Tweet

[Goldorak]

The native client (launched form the browser) is working only from Windows right now, but we will get OSX/Linux versions out as soon as we can. Do you have a windows machine you could test from just to help measure performance?

[cgorac]

Yes, I do.

OK - right now the native launcher doesn't support GUID in the URL, but let me see if I can fix that quickly. I will post back here with a link when it's ready.

Hi,

So is the Linux Workstation AMI supposed to work right now or not?

I've launched an instance:

Code: Select all

Instance type
g2.2xlarge
eu-west-1c
Octane Cloud Workstation -Linux--1-AutogenByAWSMP-. view rules
AMI ID
AMI-OTOY-OCTANE-LINUX-1.0r1-d7e50009-88ef-4142-a01c-19d975e53b64-ami-93d188fa.2 (ami-cb7b98bc)


and I'm unable to retrieve the GUID, the ps -edalf looks like this:

Code: Select all

0 S root      2241  2179  1  80   0 - 121812 hrtime 12:44 ?       00:00:09 /tmp/
.bbsuwgxpznjpmvbofbwowlcdzopjbwycxszvawkajtryqumxvkltwqwvgneije name=AWS.54.194.

VALIDAUTH=1;vfs=MD7K4X2179,CLOUD\Linux\P2PServer64.vdisk


while the compiz is running I think:

Code: Select all

0 S user      2189  2045  0  80   0 - 309750 poll_s 12:44 ?       00:00:01 compiz
0 S user      2488  2189  0  80   0 -  1100 wait   12:44 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator

Also, for testing it would be enough to use spot instances, while the AMI forces us to use on-demand, thus paying tens of cents for nothing.

I've rebooted the instance to no avail:

Code: Select all

5 S root        39     2  0  80   0 -     0 devtmp 13:00 ?        00:00:00 [kdevtmpfs]
