[chef] Re: How to write the cookbook for third party ubuntu ppa?

[Kevin Nuckolls < >]

I've encountered this problem as well and I'm nearly certain that a background process is running apt-get update by default when you start up the Ubuntu image. My solution was to tell cloud-init not to run apt-get update by default. These 100 errors no longer come up.

Read this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit

Set apt_upgrade: false in your user data script.

Hope that helps. 

Bryan I bet that command you asked him to run will run because it's a race condition. By the time you log in to the Ubuntu box and run it, the background cloud-init is done and other systems can run apt just fine.

It looks like apt is failing for some reason.

What happens if you run "apt-get -q -y install ruby=4.8-0bbox1"?
