{{Warning|Dapper (i.e. 6.06) is no longer supported. Use newer Ubuntu templates.}} The ubuntu template is an OpenVZ [[OS template]] that allows you to run ubuntu dapper in your [[VEcontainer]], as opposed to the normal Debian stable or Fedora.

ifu==How do I create a VE container that uses this template?==All you have to do is simply create a normal VE container but specify ubuntu-6.06-i386-minimal as the template. For example:

You can either do those modifications on already existing VEcontainer, or, if you want these changes to be incorporated into your template, create a temporary VEcontainer, do these changes, stop the VE container and tar the result into the same template file. Well, the first thing you *must* do is install a language pack. You can do this by typing in<pre> apt-get install language-pack-en </pre> <pre>Bug alert: I (Shane Hathaway) got the following error when I tried to install language-pack-en.  debconf: apt-extracttemplates failed: Bad file descriptordpkg: dpkg - error: PATH is not set. I patched the problem by typing "export PATH". Even though the path is set, for somereason it is not exported by default. I also added "export PATH" to /etc/profile .</pre>

wants to set the clock during network start and runs into a very long timeout. Since ntpdate is not needed at all inside a VE container this script can simply be deleted. And Magic - the VE container starts up as fast as I would expect it to and all network interfaces are up and running at once.
