We've not seen any other issue like this in the past 5 years, users usually know to pick something that they can actually run or know that they'll need to setup emulation.
The error reported as weird as it is, is the expected behavior from the kernel when asked to run a foreign architecture binary, so no obvious bug to fix here nor really a way for LXC to distinguish that case from an actual permission issue. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396536 Title: lxc_start - Exec format error - failed to exec /sbin/init To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1396536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
