[Bug 1363832] [NEW] [utopic] fails to build containers

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

I tried the "local" provider again on current utopic, and today it fails
on creating containers:

- Start from a clean slate: no *juju* containers (I do have some
containers for other work, though), no ~/.juju, etc. I follow
https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/getting-started.html and
https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/config-local.html

- sudo apt install juju-core juju-local
  juju generate-config
  juju switch local

- As I have $HOME on ecryptfs, I follow the documentation and use a
separate juju root:

  sudo mkdir /scratch/juju
  sudo chown martin:martin /scratch/juju/

  Now I edit ~/.juju/environments.yaml in the local section to have
"root-dir: /scratch/juju" and "default-series: trusty".

  I also apply a workaround for bug 1290920:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 11 21:55 /var/lib/lxc -> /scratch/lxc

- Now bootstrap, this apparently works well:

$ juju bootstrap
uploading tools for series [precise trusty utopic]
[sudo] password for martin:
Logging to /scratch/juju/cloud-init-output.log on remote host
Bootstrapping Juju machine agent
Starting Juju machine agent (juju-agent-martin-local)

This took maybe 10 seconds. /scratch/juju/cloud-init-output.log contains
no "ERROR", and ends with "juju-agent-martin-local start/running,
process 3997", so this seems fine. But I'll attach the log anyway. Note
that this did *not* create any extra container; "sudo lxc-ls --fancy"
does not show me anything new.

$ juju status
environment: local
machines:
  "0":
    agent-state: started
    agent-version: 1.20.5.1
    dns-name: localhost
    instance-id: localhost
    series: utopic
    state-server-member-status: has-vote
services: {}

- Now I try to deploy the GUI:

$ juju deploy juju-gui
Added charm "cs:trusty/juju-gui-5" to the environment.

(Returned after ~ 5 s)

$ juju status
environment: local
machines:
  "0":
    agent-state: started
    agent-version: 1.20.5.1
    dns-name: localhost
    instance-id: localhost
    series: utopic
    state-server-member-status: has-vote
  "1":
    agent-state-info: container failed to start
    instance-id: pending
    series: trusty
services:
  juju-gui:
    charm: cs:trusty/juju-gui-5
    exposed: false
    units:
      juju-gui/0:
        agent-state: pending
        machine: "1"

This created a new container:
juju-trusty-lxc-template  STOPPED  -     -     -       NO

But it is basically empty, except for a new log dir:

$ find /scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/config
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/rootfs
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/rootfs/var
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/rootfs/var/log
/scratch/lxc/juju-trusty-lxc-template/rootfs/var/log/juju

The first error in /scratch/juju/log/machine-0.log is

2014-09-01 06:36:47 ERROR juju.worker runner.go:218 exited "api": unable
to connect to "wss://localhost:17070/"

but it seems to retry and succeed a bit later:

2014-09-01 06:36:50 INFO juju.state.api apiclient.go:176 connection
established to "wss://localhost:17070/"

then it just ends with

2014-09-01 06:39:19 ERROR juju.container.lxc clonetemplate.go:167 container failed to start: container failed to start
2014-09-01 06:39:19 ERROR juju.provisioner provisioner_task.go:418 cannot start instance for machine "1": container failed to start

I'll also attach the full file. So it seems it fails very early on to
create containers, this doesn't seem very charm specific. But just to
make sure, I destroyed the juju service and machine (which didn't
destroy the container, I did that manually) and service, and tried to
"juju deploy mysql", but with the exact same result.
