Martin,
I am reinstalling squeeze on my host node, as I had reverted back to
OpenVZ, so that I have clean computer to work with when I follow the
instructions you have suggested in your second URL.
To the best of my memory, when lxc-console I got out of the Testing
repository failed to deliver a prompt, I did hit "enter" (several times)
and all it did was drop my cursor lower on the screen. I also tried the
command without the -d hoping that would get me in, it didn't....I got
some kind of error on that, if I remember correctly.
In your suggested steps, it says:
"You might have noticed that you got yourself a debian 5.0 lenny
container. Thats because lenny is hardcoded in the lxc-debian script and
there is no(t yet) any squeeze compatible installer script. I have
modified the lxc-debian script (download below try the one from the
sourceforge archive) but it does not yet work fully out of the box. You
can play around with it.
#> DEBIAN_VERSION=squeeze lxc-debian -p /var/lib/lxc/vm0
If you’ve already created a container with lxc-debian, you probably have
to wipe the directory /var/cache/lxc/.. before you get squeeze (cache is
stored not suite aware)."
Does the above command automatically pull in the squeeze version
lxc-debian command script? --Or is the sourceforge link they provide
which takes me to this page,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxc/files/lxc/ mean that I need to
remove the lxc install the instructions suggested at the beginning and
instead compile the sourceforge lxc-0.7.4.1 download somewhere?
Thanks! :)

These may be idiotically simple suggestions, but I've been caught in
these situations:
Sometimes when I use lxc-console, I don't see anything until I press
"enter". Try this first.
Also, what happens if you start the container without the -d option?
Does it bring you into a console then? lxc-console won't work, if
lxc-start (sans daemon option) doesn't bring you to a prompt (at least
in my experience with LXC in Squeeze).

For the record, I'm not married to using Testing repositories. I
just need a way to
get working squeeze containers....that at my dummy level I can
create and work with. :)
I wasn't using wheezy, I was using debian squeeze on my host node
and added
the associated Testing Repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list:
*
deb ftp://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib*
*deb-src ftp://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free
contrib*
To install lxc and then disabled the above testing repositories.
Also, the notes that I found telling me to use the testing
repositories didn't mention
the modifications you listed or to use the lxc-create command, so
I had tried to implement
it like I had done for the lenny container earlier.
By the way, are there any step by step instructions anywhere?
And just to be clear, are you saying I need to install wheezy on
my Host Node, then add the Testing repositories
to get a working squeeze container?

You must have:
* "lxc.tty = ... " in your lxc config file (possibly in
/var/lib/lxc/containername/config)
* console in your continer rootfs: (possibly in
/var/lib/lxc/containername/rootfs/)
You can create this by something like this
# cd /var/lib/lxc/containername/rootfs/
# mknod -m 666 /dev/tty1 c 4 1
# mknod -m 666 /dev/tty2 c 4 2
I assume you are using debian testing (wheezy), if you create new
containers like this command:
# sudo lxc-create -t debian -n containername
It asks you some questions and handles many conditions, like this one,
automatically.

My problem is, I need squeeze in my containers and if anyone knows of a path
for doing this that has
some good instructions, I'd really appreciate knowing where that is.
This is my first query to the mail list and if I am not suppose to ask a
Debian Testing question,
please let me know...
So far, the only way I have found that offers squeeze, is using Debian
Testing, which appears to work
just fine, and I can ping the container both from my host and my LAN,
but...when I try to enter the
container via lxc-console, it doesn't take me to the container's prompt
command line....the situation
looks to me like probably a simple programming syntax error of some kind.
Below is what happens...
root@server:/# lxc-start -n vm101 -d
root@server:/# lxc-info -n vm101
state: RUNNING
pid: 7103
root@server:/# lxc-console -n vm101
Type<Ctrl+a q> to exit the console
<<----- There is no Prompt here, and all that is visible is the above
instruction...and I can type stuff.
However, by pressing<Ctrl+a q> I am immediately returned
to
my host prompt, like so...
root@server:/#
root@server:/# lxc-info -n vm101
state: RUNNING
pid: 7103
root@server:/#
I tried nano /usr/bin/lxc-console hoping to be able to find the offending
program line as I speculate it is near or at the echoed instruction, but
opening the program I think I am seeing binary characters in the file. I
was wondering (wishful hoping) if there are any potential commands I might
use to just break past the point that hangs after I give the lxc-console
command and get a prompt that belongs to the container? Or some other route
to obtaining squeeze...
Thanks for your thoughts!
