I've been having trouble with lxc-console. Sometimes it connects fine. Other times it doesn't. This is with the Squeeze version of LXC, unfortunately only 0.7.2. So I wanted to see if 0.7.5 would be better. Installed from tar to its default location. Symlinked /usr/local/var/lib/lxc to /var/lib/lxc where I already had a couple of containers configured. That's enough to get the containers to start from the 0.7.5 lxc-start. But it leaves the 0.7.5 lxc-console totally unhappy. It's obviously looking at things differently than lxc-start and lxc-info: # lxc-info -n xfer state: RUNNING pid: 1414 # lxc-console -n xfer lxc-console: 'xfer' is stopped The 'xfer' container is running, and can be connected to by SSH just fine. But I'd like to get lxc-console working dependably. Again, with 0.7.2 (providing that the 0.7.2 lxc-start was used) it connects or fails to seemingly randomly. It's an older version. Who cares? But how do I convince the 0.7.5 version that what lxc-info can see, it should see too, and connect with? Thanks, Whit
