Public bug reported: Because of the current ssh approach used in lxc-start-ephemeral in lieu of lxc-attach, you need a password or key in the ubuntu account to connect. If you want to do this with automation, you can use a key. If you want to use this with another user and that user's key, you do not have an option at this time.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/865767/ adds support for this scenario. We will switch -k for -S to match the ubuntu template, per Serge's suggestion ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945183 Title: lxc-start-ephemeral is difficult to use with non-"ubuntu" accounts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/945183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
