[Bug 884428] Re: new created ubuntu machines result in: "init: Unable to listen for private connections: Failed to bind socket "/com/ubuntu/upstart": Address already in use

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

Is the command in the description exactly the command you used, or did
you specify a config file with '-f'?  If you specified a config file,
can you paste it here?

If you did not specify a config file, then you shoudl have seen a
warning like:

=====================================================================
Warning:
-------
Usually the template option is called with a configuration
file option too, mostly to configure the network.
eg. lxc-create -n foo -f lxc.conf -t debian
The configuration file is often:

lxc.network.type=macvlan
lxc.network.link=eth0
lxc.network.flags=up

or alternatively:

lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br0
lxc.network.flags=up

For more information look at lxc.conf (5)

At this point, I assume you know what you do.
Press <enter> to continue ...
=====================================================================

Such a container indeed will fail to start because it will not have
a network configuration, and therefore not create a new network
namespace, so that the container's upstart shares abstract unix sockets
with the host's.  It's reasonable for certain containers, but not
supported with a full ubuntu container.
