Works for me now in oneiric-proposed. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done
** Description changed: The 'lxc-init' (a lightweight init process used by lxc-execute in place of upstart etc) tries to mount /dev/shm during startup. If that fails (for instance /dev/shm does not exist) then it aborts execution and returns -1. This is unreasonable as very few applications actually need /dev/shm. ===================================== SRU Justification: 1. Impact: lxc-execute fails 2. Development fix: ignore failure of mounting /dev/shm. 3. Stable fix: same as development fix 4. Test case (on a precise host): - 1. lxc-create -t ubuntu -n test1 -- -r oneiric - 2. chroot /var/lib/lxc/test1/rootfs apt-get install lxc - 3. rm -rf /var/lib/lxc/test1/rootfs/dev/shm # probably not needed - 3. lxc-execute -n test1 -- /bin/ls - 4. echo $? - This will return 255 without the fix, and return 0 (and show a directory listing) with. + 1. lxc-create -t ubuntu -n test1 -- -r oneiric + 2. chroot /var/lib/lxc/test1/rootfs apt-get install lxc + 3. rm -rf /var/lib/lxc/test1/rootfs/dev/shm # probably not needed + 3. lxc-execute -n test1 -- /bin/ls + 4. echo $? + This will return 255 without the fix, and return 0 (and show a directory listing) with. (Note that you must add -proposed and upgrade inside the chroot!) 5.
