Indeed, on every error path lxc_user_nic should print an error message to stderr, but that doesn't end up in the log. If you simply do
lxc-start -n container_name -F What do you see? On one failure case I see "Quota reached", for instance. When I copy/paste your network config excerpt, it does work for me. Is it possible that x does not have an allocation in /etc/lxc/lxc- usernet for lxcbr0, but the configuration file still has 'lxc.include = /etc/lxc/default.conf' ? Please show the full container config and the full /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet (obfuscated if need be, but then please with annotations so we can be certain). ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470580 Title: unprivileged lxc containers fails with custom bridge Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using 15.04 x86_64 with all the updates installed. I'd like 2 containers to communicate with each other via bridge interface. For that I've created interface as follows: /etc/systemd/network/internalbridge1.netdev: [NetDev] Name=ibr1 Kind=bridge /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet: # USERNAME TYPE BRIDGE COUNT x veth ibr1 8 The 'x' is my username, it's first and only user configured in the system so default id map should work fine. The container network is configured as follows: lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.link = ibr1 lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.name = internal lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.1.8.2/24 lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 10.1.8.1 I've enabled the service and brought the bridge up - showing ok via 'ip a' and 'brctl show'. Also works fine with priviledged containers. However with unpriviledged containers it fails: lxc-start -n asterisk -l debug -F --logfile lxc-user.log To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1470580/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
