LXC directories mis-set

[Robbie Simpson]

(Running on a fresh Raspbian image, and then downloading the lxc package via apt-get)

When attempting to run any of the LXC commands, e.g.

sudo /usr/bin/lxc-execute -n foo -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-empty-netns.conf /bin/bash

LXC tries to locate lxc-init in /usr/lib/arm-linux/gnueabihf , when it is actually installed in /usr/lib/arm-linux/gnueabihf/lxc. We were able to fix this problem by creating a hardlink between the two directories.

When I try the command you mention I get

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# sudo /usr/bin/lxc-execute -n foo -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-empty-netns.conf /bin/bash
lxc-execute: No cgroup mounted on the system
lxc-execute: failed to spawn 'foo'
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#

No mntion of lxc-init in that output.

Are you still having problems with lxc on an up to date raspbian system? if so have you tried doing the same tests on a debian wheezy system?

I tried to reproduce this issue on both a wheezy (Pi 1B) and a jessie (Pi 2B) system ... and failed.

diederik@rasppi-1b:~$ sudo /usr/bin/lxc-execute -n foo -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-empty-netns.conf /bin/bash
lxc-execute: No cgroup mounted on the system
lxc-execute: failed to spawn 'foo'

So the same error as plugwash on wheezy.

diederik@rasppi-2b:~$ sudo /usr/bin/lxc-execute -n foo -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-empty-netns.conf /bin/bash
lxc-execute: failed to open log file "/var/lib/lxc/foo/foo.log" : No such file or directory
root@omega:/home/diederik# exit
exit
diederik@rasppi-2b:~$ sudo /usr/bin/lxc-execute -n foo -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-empty-netns.conf /bin/bash
root@omega:/home/diederik#

Apart from an error on first run, it works on jessie

What's the current status on this issue?
