That stuff after my signature might be misleading. The host I'm working on, my desktop, is indeed running ubuntu 15.04, with lxc 1.1.2-0ubuntu3. The host I discovered the problem on is definitely running ubuntu 14.04 with lxc 1.0.7 .
Testing on my desktop, lxc-create fails but with a less verbose error message: $ sudo lxc-create -n test.lol -t none [sudo] password for user: lxc_container: lxc_create.c: main: 274 Error creating container test.lol I've had a look through the source code for lxc-create, and 'none' doesn't appear to have special meaning, so lxc-create probably looks for an lxc-none template in the template dir. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466458 Title: template 'none' doesn't work with lxc-create Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, The man page lxc-create(1) says that with the '-t' option to specify a template '"none" can be used to force lxc-create to skip rootfs creation'. This does not appear to work. root@somehost:/var/lib/lxc# lxc-create -n test.lol -t none lxc_container: lxccontainer.c: get_template_path: 867 No such file or directory - bad template: none lxc_container: lxccontainer.c: lxcapi_create: 1264 bad template: none lxc_container: lxc_create.c: main: 271 Error creating container test.lol There is no template in the templates dir corresponding to the 'none' template. I've looked through the upstream tarballs from releases 0.5.0, 0.6.0, ... , 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and there is no 'none' template in any. Might be just a documentation mistake, I guess. Could be a missing template, or maybe 'none' has a special meaning to the lxc- create binary; I haven't looked yet. I'll dig a little further. I'm using lxc 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 . thanks, Kevin ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: lxc 1.1.2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-18.18-generic 3.19.6 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Thu Jun 18 11:56:34 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-01-13 (1251 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) SourcePackage: lxc UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2015-05-14 (34 days ago) defaults.conf: lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.link = lxcbr0 lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx lxcsyslog: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1466458/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
