Sounds like a compilation/packaging problem. It works for me here, with ubuntu raring: cat > lxc.conf << EOF lxc.utsname = beta lxc.network.type = empty lxc.rootfs = / lxc.aa_profile = unconfined EOF sudo lxc-execute -n foobar -f lxc.conf -l info -o outout -- ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 08:46 pts/1 00:00:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-init -- ps -ef root 2 1 0 08:46 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef (an interactive shell doesn't work - just hangs, I don't use lxc-execute so always forget what is expect to work and what isn't) > I have already checked that kernel is configured correctly using > lxc-checkconfig. > > Pls send a pointer to a simple working configuration for embedded systems. Take a look at src/lxc/execute.c:choose_init(). It will look for lxc-init in three places: LXCINITDIR "/lxc/lxc-init" /usr/lib/lxc/lxc-init /sbin/lxc-init LXCINITDIR in ubuntu is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, and lxc-init is in fact at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-init. (You can find your LXCINITDIR in config.log if you built your own lxc). But the easier thing might be to just copy lxc-init into /sbin. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
