Hi everyone,

I tried to get some lxc containers to start on openSUSE, but could not
get the systemd-service to start:

> sudo systemctl status lxc.service lxc.service - LXC Container
> Initialization and Autoboot Code Loaded: loaded
> (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lxc.service; disabled) Active: failed
> (Result: exit-code) since Di 2014-08-12 10:41:47 CEST; 5s ago

The reason seem to be lines containing 'action' in
/usr/lib/lxc-autostart-helper:

> $ grep -C 2 action /usr/lib/lxc/lxc-autostart-helper 
> wait_for_bridge # Start autoboot containers first then the NULL
> group "onboot,". action $"Starting LXC autoboot containers: "
> /usr/bin/lxc-autostart $OPTIONS $BOOTGROUPS touch
> "$localstatedir"/lock/subsys/lxc ;; -- # delaying the system
> shutdown / reboot as much as we can since it's not #
> parallelized...  Even 5 second timout may be too long. action
> $"Stopping LXC containers: " "$bindir"/lxc-autostart $STOPOPTS
> $SHUTDOWNDELAY rm -f "$localstatedir"/lock/subsys/lxc ;;

I have never seen a shell command action before, so maybe this is some
systemd/sysvinit-related thing? Why does this not work on openSUSE?
Maybe the rc-file is not sourced (I remember there is a file being
sourced, I just do not have the autostart-helper script right here...)?

Any openSUSE-users out there?

Regards,
Johannes
