I've been trying to narrow it down by running lxc-execute on a few other systems, including a 12.04.3 with the 3.2.0-55-generic Kernel, no success. As you said, the debug output unfortunately does not provide any details.
What I know so far: * lxc 0.7.5-3 (standard precise version) and 0.8.0~rc1 (backport) work fine on 3.2 and 3.8 kernels * as soon as I upgrade to 1.0.0~alpha1 and any kernel, it does not work anymore * upgrading to the latest daily (1.0.0~alpha3+master~20131122-0500-0ubuntu1~ppa1~precise1) does not resolve the issue on 3.2 and 3.8 I also tried to use a custom container (see attached lxc configuration) using # lxc-execute -n foo -f lxc.conf -- /bin/bash, but no luck. Note that I run lxc-execute directly from the command line on the host, not inside a OS container. FYI: I use lxc to isolate Apache2 instances on my webservers, using complex container setups with my own templates. As I said, this worked perfectly with 0.8.0~rc1 and earlier, and with 1.0.0~alpha1 the containers work as well - except it is impossible to drop cap_sys_admin. ** Attachment added: "lxc configuration" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1253669/+attachment/3915022/+files/lxc_foo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1253669 Title: unable to launch lxc application containers when dropping cap_sysadmin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1253669/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
