[Bug 925513] Re: plymouth should not run in container
@Serge, Could you explain why use of --path can lead to X crashing where lxc-create without --path is not? My motivation was: I don't want lxc-create to create the rootfs under /var/lib/lxc. I need the stuff to be stored elsewhere. I thought that the --path option in the template was made exactly for this purpose. Also notice that --path is specified as parameter for the ubuntu template and not for the lxc-create command: it is specified after -- in the command line. So I think it is really the plymouthd doing something with my framebuffer (which I assume my X server is also using), somehow eventually killing my X session. Does that make sense? I just noticed that I should probably have called lxc-ubuntu with the --trim option. The description of the option is somewhat misleading: Looking at the trim() function in the script itself, it in particular disables a couple of upstart services: quoting from the script: ~~ chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls u*.conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done' chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls tty[2-9].conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done' chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls plymouth*.conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done' chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls hwclock*.conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done' chroot $rootfs /bin/bash -c 'cd /etc/init; for f in $(ls module*.conf); do mv $f $f.orig; done' ~~ This also explains why another container (lucid) that was created with the --trim option works without problems. I will re-test the oneiric container with --trim...

Confirmed: running the same lxc-create command with --trim creates a directly usable container. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925513 Title: plymouth should not run in container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/925513/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 925513] Re: plymouth should not run in container
@Serge, thanks for your comments. I have experimented a little more. And I found that --path is indead at the very least misleading: If I don't use --path, then the config (snippet) given to lxc-create by -f is merged with the config that the template creates. If i do use paht, then the -f file is put under /var/lib/lxc while the template creates is stored under the --path. So at least this is bad and confusing. I also came up with the idea of linking or bind-mounting /var/lib/lxc to some other place. It seems safer ... :-) As for plymouth: I still have to experiment whether the behaviour is different when not using --path. But one of the main purposes for me to use is to get network virtualization, so it is not an option to _not_ configure network for my containers. :-) I usually use veth and one of the bridge devices created by libvirt.

[Bug 925513] Re: plymouth should not run in container
@Serge, I might have misready your statement about network config. I do add nettwork config (veth0, dev=virbr0, etc) manually. There is no /etc/lxc/lxc.conf in my system. The reason I used a config file snipped for lxc-create was exactly to get this network virtualization layer into the container config.

[Bug 925513] Re: plymouth should not run in container
Hi, plymouth running in the container prevents me from using the container at all, it kills my X instead: I created a 11.10 container with the following lxc-create command on freshly installed 11.10: sudo lxc-create -n ubuntu1 -f ./ubuntu1-template.conf -t ubuntu -- --release=oneiric --path=/data/lxc/ubuntu1 here ubuntu1-template.conf contains this: ~ lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.link = virbr0 ~ (virbr0 being the bridge created by libvirt) Now when I later start the container with sudo lxc-start -n ubuntu1 (after sudo lxc-create -n ubuntu1 -f /data/lxc/ubuntu1/config), then there is no output but after a couple of seconds, my X session is killed placing me in the login manager. When I do lxc-ps -n ubuntu1, I see only plymouthd is running except for init. After disabling plymouth in the container by mv /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.gone, I was able to start the container successfully. So maybe plymouth should really be disabled in the container.

[Bug 271922] Re: Default ACL not applied on files created through CIFS filesystem (mount.cifs)
I was looking for a reason why Ubuntu kernels dont have CIFS_POSIX_XATTR set? So the nifty posix acl extensions can never be used with stock kernel. Should we open a new enhancement bug report for this or was I just not clever enough searching...
