@Serge,
Could you explain why use of --path can lead to X crashing where lxc-create
without --path is not?
My motivation was: I don't want lxc-create to create the rootfs under
/var/lib/lxc.
I need the stuff to be stored elsewhere.
I thought that the --path option in the template was made exactly for this
purpose.
Also notice that --path is specified as parameter for the ubuntu template
and not for the lxc-create command:
it is specified after "--" in the command line.
So I think it is really the plymouthd doing something with my framebuffer
(which I assume my X server is also using), somehow eventually killing my
X session. Does that make sense?
I just noticed that I should probably have called lxc-ubuntu with the --trim
option.
The description of the option is somewhat misleading:
Looking at the trim() function in the script itself, it in particular disables
a couple
of upstart services: quoting from the script:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls u*.conf); do mv $f
$f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls tty[2-9].conf); do
mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls plymouth*.conf);
do mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls hwclock*.conf); do
mv $f $f.orig; done'
chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls module*.conf); do
mv $f $f.orig; done'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This also explains why another container (lucid) that was created with the
--trim
option works without problems. I will re-test the oneiric container with
--trim...
Cheers - Michael
