[Bug 1412887] Re: unable to start lxc on ubuntu

 

I've had no problems with the 3.16 low latency kernel.  From what I can
see I am not missing any required kernel config options, but can you
recommend a good source to describe exactly which kernel options are
required?  Many thanks.

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I've installed lxc on lubuntu utopic with a 3.18.3 lowlatency kernel,
  and I can't get lxc to start.  I'm getting the following errors in a
  logfile:

  lxc-start 1421773029.483 ERROR    lxc_conf - conf.c:instanciate_veth:2817 - failed to attach 'vethJCKW6M' to the bridge 'lxcbr0' : Operation not permitted

        lxc-start 1421773034.504 ERROR    lxc_start_ui - lxc_start.c:main:341 - Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  I tried looking at some of the other bugs where this was reported, but it seems to be different in my case to theirs.  Veth module is loading ok, and lxc-net service is started ok (according to initctl list).  I have tried purging and reinstalling.  I don't believe that I have bind9 running or installed.  I am using a custom compile with low latency enabled.
  uname -a = 3.18.3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 20 14:44:09 GMT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  I have threadirqs enabled in the grub commandline.  I am going to try
  with a generic low latency kernel.

  Thanks
