[lxc-users] Fedory 20 LXC fails to start on Ubuntu 14.04 host?

Hello Mike, and others,

Thanks for this suggestion, of course that makes sense.

I tested it now on my desktop PC (Ubuntu 12.04).
First I still had a special kernel for TuxOnIce, so I uninstalled that.

uname -a
shows now:
Linux timotheus-linuxpc 3.2.0-61-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2
21:33:33 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

lxc-create -t fedora -n myFedoraTest2
lxc-start -n myFedoraTest2

Welcome to Fedora 20 (Heisenbug)!

By the way, lxc-create -t download -n myFedoraTest -- -d fedora -r 20
-a i386 also had the same result.

I then tried to install Fedora 19 on my local machine:
lxc-create -t download -n myFedoraTest3 -- -d fedora -r 19 -a i386
lxc-start -n myFedoraTest3
That worked fine, I was able to login and change my password.

Thanks for any suggestions,
  Timotheus
