Libertine won't destroy named container

[padraic]

Expected behaviour: libertine-container-manager will destroy contained indicated with the '-i' flag.

Result: error message received as follows:

````

Seems you might have tried to create an LXC type container??? Could you attach the contents of ~/.local/share/libertine/ContainersConfig.json?

Thanks!

[Larry Price (larryprice)]

Thanks for the bug report. This seems to be the result of creating an lxc container in a vivid-based system, where it's not possible to create lxc containers due to kernel limitations.

Do you remember the commands you used to create this container? Can you attach the contents of the file located at /home/phablet/.local/share/libertine/ContainersConfig.json?

Ok, that makes sense. After seeing a blog post about them I had previously tried to create an LXC container, I didn't realise at the time that it wasn't possible in vivid.

I tried to create it with

````
libertine-container-manager create -t lxc -d vivid -i vivid2

I have created and removed containers a number of times so the file contents you asked for might not be in line with the bug re file names at this stage but here it is anyway:

Yup, it's just as we expected. We fixed this issue fairly recently, preventing users from installing lxc containers if their kernel does not support it.

Unfortunately, you'll need to manually delete those containers which you don't want. To do this, you can delete the contents of ~/.cache/libertine-container/$container-name and manually remove the entries from the ContainersConfig.json file. I've attached a new version of ContainersConfig.json for you to drop in-place if you prefer.

Cool, thanks for that.
