| 3 | Some Jetstream virtual machines remain stuck in the Networking stage when they launch. This prevents users from logging into or using the virtual machine. | 8/30/2016 | Try redeploying the virtual machine as described here, Instance management actions | |
| 7 | Laptops with touchscreens are unable to use the mouse in the web desktop. There is a bug in the web browser code in both Chrome and Firefox for using a touchscreen PC with the web desktop of Jetstream. This is not a bug we can easily work around since it's in the browser code itself. | 4/17/2017 | While we generally don't recommend using Internet Explorer, we've found it does not have the same issue. Using a VNC viewer also is a workaround. | |
| 8 | Cannot login with external ssh-client using DSA ssh-keys in my settings. | 5/12/2017 | never | DSA keys should not be used with Jetstream. Please use another protocol like RSA |
| 9 | Users with a brace " { " in their passwords may experience errors with openstack command line commands. | 5/23/2017 | Use a password that does not contain a brace. Also may try enclosing passwords in single quote mark (e.g. export OS_PASSWORD='password{with-brace}' in your openrc file | |
| 5 | If there is a dot/period in the instance name, that instance will likely fail to launch. This is not considered a bug by the OpenStack community but rather a feature that ties into a dynamic DNS feature. | 9/30/2016 |
|
re-broken. Currently do not use periods. When this is re-fixed we will update this page. |

| 1 | Jetstream is not currently recognizing all XSEDE staff allocations, such as TG-STA060015, as being valid for some users. This is in part because these allocations are roaming allocations. XSEDE users whose only Jetstream allocation is one of these staff allocations may not be able to log into the system or manage VMs. | 8/30/2016 | 9/12/2016 | XSEDE users can resolve this by requesting a non-roaming or startup allocation on Jetstream. See Jetstream Allocations for details or email help@xsede.org. |
| 2 | Jetstream may not recognize XSEDE-associated usernames that differ from TACC usernames due to unresolved issues with identity mapping. This primarily affects long-time users of XSEDE or Teragrid. | 8/30/2016 | 3/1/2017 | This can be mitigated by filing a ticket at help@xsede.org requesting that your TACC and XSEDE usernames be brought into alignment. |
| 6 | A power issue resulted in some issue being inaccessible. Staff are restoring these instances. | 4/12/2017 | 4/17/2017 | Retry your instance. Contact help@xsede.org if it continues to not respond. |
| 10 | .openrc files generated on the TACC cloud are missing a version declaration and the USER_DOMAIN_NAME variable | 8/24/2017 but previously existed | 1/1/2018 | Add the following lines to your openrc file:export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=taccexport OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 |
| 11 | I have an Ubuntu18-based instance that has been stuck deploying for quite some time. | 8/22/2018 | 8/22/2018 | Click on your instance and check the version:
If the version is < 1.8, you will have a known bug that introduces a configuration conflict that prevents rebooting/redeployment. All Ubuntu versions ≥1.8 have been patched to fix this networking bug. If possible, please rebuild your instance with a more recent version, otherwise, please contact help@jetstream-cloud.org for assistance in applying the fix. |
| 4 | X2GO on the Biolinux8 image is currently experiencing keyboard mapping issues on first login. | 9/28/2016 | 12/31/2018 | Image retired. Using the x2goclient software on your remote machine
This restored session will have the correct keyboard map. |
