[Bug 1516971] Re: LXC's preserve_ns fails on < 3.8 kernels

 

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxc into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/1.0.8-0ubuntu0.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  == SRU ==
  Rationale: LXC no longer starts on kernels > 3.2 and < 3.8
  Test case: Try starting an LXC container on an affected kernel
  Regression potential: Can't really get any worse. Change has been reviewed and tested upstream.

  == Original bug report ==
  ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/mako 350

  After flashing the device the boot hangs on the vendor logo.
  There is no crash file on the device but it seems that the android container fails to start.

  There is the following error in syslog
  Nov 17 08:33:15 ubuntu-phablet kernel: [    8.694826] init: lxc-android-config main process (918) terminated with status 255

  and in upstart/android.log:
        lxc-start 1447749195.286 ERROR    lxc_start - start.c:preserve_ns:149 - No such file or directory - failed to open '/proc/1055/ns/mnt'
