[Spce-user] Amazon issues

[Andreas Granig]

Hi Claude,

The installation on EC2 takes some manual intervention at the moment,
and I'm currently writing a how-to on how to tackle that. There will be
a ready-to-run AMI at some point, but this will take 2-3 weeks at least.

For a quick-start, you need to make sure to find and install the proper
linux-header packages. Not sure which one is the right one for you,
you'll have to check what kernel version you're running in your AMI.
Mine says:

# uname -r
2.6.32-309-ec2

So I found on the web (actually in an Ubuntu repository) the two
corresponding header packages:

linux-headers-2.6.32-309_2.6.32-309.18_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.32-309-ec2_2.6.32-309.18_amd64.deb

Beside that, you need to try "apt-get install <package>" for those which
fail, and manually resolve the issues. When it complains about a package
dependency which is not satisfied, you've to repeat that until it tells
you the real error. Most likely, ngcp-mediaproxy-ng can't be installed
due to the missing kernel headers, or maybe some other packages are not
available in the repo configured in your AMI.

Once all dependencies are resolved, re-start the installer again, and
then it'll continue after package installation and will create the
configs and the users you're still missing (e.g. cdrexport) for you.
