Hi, the intent is that you can set the logfile and loglevel and find out more about how it failed for those. While there is talk about work to improve on the startup failure debugging, it is still based on the logfile output.
As an example: ^C2 ✗ serge@sl ~ $ python3 Python 3.4.3+ (default, Oct 14 2015, 16:03:50) [GCC 5.2.1 20151010] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import lxc >>> c=lxc.Container("x1") >>> c.set_config_item("lxc.loglevel", "1") True >>> c.set_config_item("lxc.logfile", "/tmp/outout") True >>> c.start() False but now /tmp/outout has the debug information. It sounds like we could stand to have this better explained somewhere, but I'm not sure where. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1542438 Title: Python LXC api needs to be much better at error reporting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1542438/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
