What I DO know is that my 11.04 container, with lxcguest package, that used to work fine in 11.04 and 11.10 host, stopped working in 12.04. Initially I tried different hacks (like editing rc-sysinit.conf, probably what you did as well), and even try creating a conf file that basically does "init 2". After some testing, turns out the event for loopback interface up (which is needed by rc-sysinit) was never emmited. In the end adding this file works: # cat /etc/init/lxc-lo.conf start on startup env container pre-start script if [ "x$container" != "xlxc" -a "x$container" != "xlibvirt" ]; then stop; fi initctl start network-interface INTERFACE=lo exit 0; end script So now the modifications (both from lxcguest and my local addition) are all new .conf files, which would be ignored if it's not started in lxc environment. Might try 12.04 container later. -- Fajar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
