[Lxc-users] how to troubleshoot lxc service

[Rintcius Blok]

Yes indeed, that version of the kernel is running.

No, I'm not on a macbook air.

It looks far more stable with the new kernel: the problem happened 
twice, but only while I was fiddling with the config file.
It looks like it can be reproduced as follows:

1. lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n test.lxc -- --auth-key 
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub    --userdata /root/simpleUserdataFile
2. lxc-start -d -n test.lxc
3. note ip address of container
4. lxc-stop -n test.lxc
5. add this line to config file of test container: lxc.network.ip4 = <ip 
address of step 3>
6. lxc-start -d -n test.lxc
7. remove the added line of step 5
8. lxc-start -d -n test.lxc

Can anyone reproduce this as well?
How do I configure the test container correctly with a static IP? It 
says "lxc-start: failed to read configuration file" if I try to add 
lxc.network.ip4.
Tried both in this form 192.168.1.123/24 (as documented in the man 
pages) and using the IP address.
