ERROR detecting credentials for "localhost" cloud provider: adding certificate "juju": Unknown request type

[james beedy]

bootstrapping localhost fails with "ERROR detecting credentials for "localhost" cloud provider: adding certificate "juju": Unknown request type "

see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/x9V7dkCFwh/

$ juju --version
2.4-beta2-bionic-amd64

$ lxd.lxc --version
3.0.0

$ lsb_release -a

Happened for me on a fresh bionic install.
lxd 3.0 from snap
juju from source

lxd itself is fully functional

[Vinodhini (vinu-b)]

Happened to me with Xenial install when using lxd 3.0.0.
but it doesnt happen with lxd 2.21.

[Vinodhini (vinu-b)]

Now Iam able to see issue with lxd2.21 as well.

[Ian Booth (wallyworld)]

I tried installing the 2.0 snap instead

$ sudo snap install lxd --channel 2.0/stable
lxd (2.0/stable) 2.0.11 from 'canonical' installed

I run lxd init

Juju gives a different error trying to bootstrap.

---
ERROR lxdbr0 configured but no config file found at /etc/default/lxd-bridge
It looks like your lxdbr0 has not yet been configured. Please configure it via:

        sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p medium lxd

and then bootstrap again.
---

Not only does bootstrap fail, but the error message is wrong because lxd has been installed from a snap not a deb package.

I have just confirmed Juju 2.3 works fine. So it's just 2.4

[Ian Booth (wallyworld)]

Interesting! After bootstrapping with Juju 2.3, I can now use Juju 2.4 with LXD. So Juju 2.3 gets past the step of setting up the client cert, and Juju 2.4 can then use this previously configured cert. But 2.4 fails setting up the cert if it is not there:

Should be fixed under https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/8715 pending review.

Hi, I've confirmed that this is resolved @ edge as of today.
