This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.7.4.2-0.3ubuntu1 --- lxc (0.7.4.2-0.3ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low * Sync upstream 0.7.4.2 * Add diff up to git head. - Fix interaction with cgroups-bin (LP: #784093) - Fix arch support to create i386 containers on amd64 (LP:

Re: [Bug 798476] Re: it would be really useful to be able to make i386 lxc containers on a amd64 machine

Thanks. The lxc package in ppa:serge-hallyn/lxc-natty, with the source at https://code.launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/oneiric/lxc/update-templates has the rest of the fix, which just amounted to puttings 'lxc.arch' in the config. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

note that my example left uname -m / arch unaltered and this will confuse some apps; linux32 /init/sbin rather than just /init/sbin should address that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

[Bug 798476] Re: it would be really useful to be able to make i386 lxc containers on a amd64 machine

the lxc lucid template seems this close to being able to do i386 easily. The install_ubuntu() function sets arch from $(arch) without allowing a user supplied override. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

[Bug 798476] Re: it would be really useful to be able to make i386 lxc containers on a amd64 machine

This patch is a bit crude but does the job: using it I built a container and it works, though the arch is reported quirkily ;) sudo arch=i386 lxc-create -n lucid-test-lp -t lucid-lp -f /etc/lxc/local.conf sudo lxc-start -n lucid-test-lp root@lucid-test-lp:~# arch x86_64 root@lucid-test-lp:~# dpkg

I've sent a patch upstream to add '-a i386' as a command line argument to the template. I will make a few more changes and then push a package to ppa while waiting for upstream to pull in the patch, after which a new release will end up in oneiric (which we can then backport). -- You received
