[Bug 925513] Re: plymouth should not run in container

[Michael Adam]

Hi,

plymouth running in the container prevents me from using
the container at all, it kills my X instead:

I created a 11.10 container with the following lxc-create command on
freshly installed 11.10:

sudo lxc-create -n ubuntu1 -f ./ubuntu1-template.conf -t ubuntu --
--release=oneiric --path=/data/lxc/ubuntu1

here ubuntu1-template.conf contains this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = virbr0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(virbr0 being the bridge created by libvirt)

Now when I later start the container with "sudo lxc-start -n ubuntu1"
(after sudo lxc-create -n ubuntu1 -f /data/lxc/ubuntu1/config), then
there is no output but after a couple of seconds, my X session is killed
placing me in the login manager.

When I do lxc-ps -n ubuntu1, I see only plymouthd is running except for
init.

After disabling plymouth in the container by
"mv /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.gone",
I was able to start the container successfully.

So maybe plymouth should really be disabled in the container.

Cheers - Michael
