You must have: * "lxc.tty = ... " in your lxc config file (possibly in /var/lib/lxc/containername/config) * console in your continer rootfs: (possibly in /var/lib/lxc/containername/rootfs/) You can create this by something like this # cd /var/lib/lxc/containername/rootfs/ # mknod -m 666 /dev/tty1 c 4 1 # mknod -m 666 /dev/tty2 c 4 2
I assume you are using debian testing (wheezy), if you create new containers like this command: # sudo lxc-create -t debian -n containername It asks you some questions and handles many conditions, like this one, automatically. bekir On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 03:12, Terry--gmail <terry.kemme...@gmail.com> wrote: > My problem is, I need squeeze in my containers and if anyone knows of a path > for doing this that has > some good instructions, I'd really appreciate knowing where that is. > > This is my first query to the mail list and if I am not suppose to ask a > Debian Testing question, > please let me know... > > So far, the only way I have found that offers squeeze, is using Debian > Testing, which appears to work > just fine, and I can ping the container both from my host and my LAN, > but...when I try to enter the > container via lxc-console, it doesn't take me to the container's prompt > command line....the situation > looks to me like probably a simple programming syntax error of some kind. > Below is what happens... > > root@server:/# lxc-start -n vm101 -d > root@server:/# lxc-info -n vm101 > state: RUNNING > pid: 7103 > root@server:/# lxc-console -n vm101 > > Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console > > <<----- There is no Prompt here, and all that is visible is the above > instruction...and I can type stuff. > However, by pressing <Ctrl+a q> I am immediately returned to > my host prompt, like so... > > root@server:/# > root@server:/# lxc-info -n vm101 > state: RUNNING > pid: 7103 > root@server:/# > > I tried nano /usr/bin/lxc-console hoping to be able to find the offending > program line as I speculate it is near or at the echoed instruction, but > opening the program I think I am seeing binary characters in the file.
