[Bug 1406925] Re: lxc-start fails due to insufficient permission for creating netdev

 

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.  Certainly as root you
should be able to attach devices to lxcbr0.

Could you please

1. show the result of 'ifconfig -a' and 'brctl show'
2. do 'sudo lxc-start -n Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386 -f -l trace -o lxc.debug' and attach lxc.debug here
3. try:
  sudo lxc-create -t download -n p1 -- -d ubuntu -r trusty -a i386
  sudo lxc-start -n p1
and let us know whether that succeeds.

Title:
  lxc-start fails due to insufficient permission for creating netdev

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing an lxc with `sudo lxc-create -n Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386
  -t /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu -- --release precise --mirror
  http://richtercloud.de:3142/de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --arch i386`,
  starting the container with `sudo lxc-start -n Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386
  --foreground` fails due to the following error:

      lxc-start: conf.c: instanciate_veth: 2817 failed to attach 'vethY1J1I1' to the bridge 'lxcbr0' : Operation not permitted
      lxc-start: conf.c: lxc_create_network: 3100 failed to create netdev
      lxc-start: start.c: lxc_spawn: 829 failed to create the network
      lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1087 failed to spawn 'Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386'
      lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 337 The container failed to start.
      lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 341 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  It should be possible to start the container right away after
  installation of the apt package and handle eventually necessary setup
  tasks (of permissions, etc.) in `debconf`.

  Currently it's necessary to comment out all `lxc.network.*` entries in
  the container configuration file.
