OpenVZ Ubuntu 11.10 Template buggy
Any VPS provider here running OpenVZ Ubuntu 11.10 template without any issues?

Comments
Yes but we rolled our own
Same here. The OpenVZ-provided templates are nice for your first few weeks of business. And then you realize they're full of chaff, so you roll your own.
True, this official template needs lot of fix.
Fix:
/sbin/MAKEDEV -d /vz/private/100/dev -x {p,t}ty{a,p}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f} console core full kmem kmsg mem null port ptmx random urandom zero ram0 /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /vz/private/100/etc/devices -x {p,t}ty{a,p}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f} console core full kmem kmsg mem null port ptmx random urandom zero ram0Issue: Sources.list missing.
Fix:
Generate list and update it to sources.list
Issue: modules.dep: No such file or directory
Fix:
Issue: venet0:0 missing

Fix:
Issue: init 100%
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1 root 25 0 2880 1444 1204 R 100 0.1 3:32.62 initNot sure why init utilizes cpu 100%.
Your first issue, regarding missing pty/tty devices, will recur every time the OS template is reinstalled. So expect that your users will be unable to log in if they reinstall their OS.
After making all the changes should gz the private.
Like been said create your own templates, once you start doing this it becomes second nature.
For init use:
"Firstly Open up SSH and add the following PPA
add-apt-repository ppa:jammy/upstart.fix-880049
Hit enter and Enter again.
If It says command not found, Issue this command first
apt-get install python-software-properties
Then
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
