Description of problem: I've used the Desktop Live CD to install Fedora 19. Then I've used the instructions provided at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-02_OpenStack#Install_and_setup_all_Openstack_services_on_a_single_node to prepare the system and run packstack. Packstack failed because the SSH daemon wasn't running (which is apparently the default for a Desktop Live CD install). It would be great if packstack detected this and executed the following: systemctl enable sshd.service systemctl start sshd.service Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-packstack-2013.1.1-0.28.dev677.fc19.noarch
For this you would need to run Packstack as root, which is what we want to avoid. Also the proposed fix would help only in one case, which is all-in-one installation and only if you would run packstack on host where you want to install OpenStack. Packstack should just failed with appropriate message that selected host(s) are not SSH available. This works in all cases.
