** Description changed: lxc-start-ephemeral is supposed to be working as non-root by calling sudo where needed but some actions (writing to conf files) still require root. In Quantal, I fixed lxc-start-ephemeral so that it uses "sudo tee" in such case, making it work as expected, this should be SRUed to Precise. ---- [impact] lxc-start-ephemeral only partly works when run as non-root, this isn't the expected behaviour. - [development fix] - The SRU is a copy of the template from development - - [stable fix] - The SRU is a copy of the template from development - [test case] 1) sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 2) lxc-start-ephemeral -o p1 If 2) works properly without any error message (operation not permitted/permission denied), then the fix works. [regression potential] Can't get much worse than a command blowing up at the middle of run time with files being owned by root and an half started container.
