[Lxc-users] problem starting a container

[Daniel Stefaniuk]

Thanks for your responses.

I created "ubuntu" containers using the script "lxc-ubuntu" provided with
the source code version 0.8.0-rc1. I think the problem was related to some
upstart jobs. "lxc-debian" script works just fine,
creating usable container. I started to create containers manually. Thanks
for the links.

I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS amd64 server (custom kernel 3.3.2) for the host and
containers. I managed to successfully login into a container using
lxc-console. I'm on the stage of setting up network access...

Sorry to say that, I came across a lot of scripts and manuals but non of
them works out of the box for me (hard-coded paths!? or bits of code
working only in customized environments). It is very difficult to get it
working without a really good understanding what you're doing.

Is there any plan to improve the documentation or perhaps create one?

Many thanks
Daniel
