to re-create the issue, 1 clean install of impish # probably need sudo or be root for the following 2 boot into impish and install all updates 3 apt get install "lxc lxcfs lxc-utils lxc-templates lxctl" 4 lxc-create -n test -t ubuntu 5 lxc-start test 6 lxc-console -n test # the above command FAILS to get a response, HOWEVER:- 7 lxc-console -t 0 -n test # WORKS, only tty0 works in the container ============================================================== THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE!! ============================================================== Previous to impish there are systemctl services to tend to all tty[1-4] and the console (tty0) eg, on Focal Fossa, in the container :- systemctl | grep tty # gives dev-lxc-tty1.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty1 dev-lxc-tty2.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty2 dev-lxc-tty3.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty3 dev-lxc-tty4.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty4 console-getty.service loaded active running Console Getty container-getty@0.service loaded active running Container Getty on /dev/pts/0 container-getty@1.service loaded active running Container Getty on /dev/pts/1 container-getty@2.service loaded active running Container Getty on /dev/pts/2 container-getty@3.service loaded active running Container Getty on /dev/pts/3 system-container\x2dgetty.slice loaded active active system-container\x2dgetty.slice system-getty.slice loaded active active system-getty.slice getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts ================================================================================ In impish, in the container, systemctl | grep tty # gives dev-lxc-tty1.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty1 dev-lxc-tty2.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty2 dev-lxc-tty3.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty3 dev-lxc-tty4.mount loaded active mounted /dev/lxc/tty4 console-getty.service loaded active running Console Getty system-getty.slice loaded active active system-getty.slice getty.target loaded active active Login Prompts =============================================================================== As can be seen, there are no daemons started for any of the tty[1-4] consoles apart from console getty service. The command lxc-console doesn't seem to default to tty0, so it picks a console that doesn't have a daemon to service it. Specifying tty0 (-t 0) makes it work. This seems to be a regression from the original, Focal Fossa as well as Hirsute Hippo
