Good, to know, thank you. Just to make it clear: I still think that the second alternative to hide the suggestion that a log file is created from the user, because it's unintuitive and imo possible, no matter which part of the program (core or dependency) generates it, but I assume that your comment and status change already had that in mind, so I won't bother more than adding this comment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671990 Title: failing lxc-create doesn't create log file mentioned in error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1671990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
