Purely guessing, but I assume that normally the kernel creates that uevent when lo gets set up? But with the container, lo is created (and uevent sent) before the container's upstart is running? It's important to know where the event is supposed to come from, because we're hoping to have the same set of upstart scripts work both in a container and on a native host. So we'll want to find a general solution to this - even if it has to be some lxc.conf which only runs if it is in a container, and fakes certain events it knows won't otherwise happen. > change disabled the "duplicate" event, upstart never realizes the lo > iface is up, and never enters runlevel S. > > Workaround: manually generate the event immediately on boot. > > # cat /srv/lxc/template-amd64/etc/init/lxc.conf > description "LXC vs. Upstart workarounds" > start on startup > task > script > initctl emit -n stopped JOB=udevtrigger > initctl emit -n started JOB=udev > # This one is needed for broken ifupdown NMU 0.6.8ubuntu29.1 > initctl emit -n net-device-up IFACE=lo LOGICAL=lo ADDRFAM=inet > METHOD=loopback > end script > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500! > Tap into the largest installed PC base & get more eyes on your game by > optimizing for Intel(R) Graphics Technology.
