[11:38] <mpt> Hi, I’m stuck on step 8 of <https://dev.launchpad.net/Running/LXC>: “ssh -A lpdev.local to connect to the container.” I get the error: “ssh: Could not resolve hostname lpdev.local: Name or service not known”
[11:38] <mpt> Do I need to add it to /etc/hosts or something?
[11:39] <cjwatson> avahi is supposed to take care of that
[11:39] <cjwatson> However, there can be problems if the container's networking hasn't come up properly
[11:39] <cjwatson> What does "sudo lxc-ls --fancy" say?
[11:40] <mpt> NAME   STATE    IPV4        IPV6  AUTOSTART
[11:40] <mpt> -------------------------------------------
[11:40] <mpt> lpdev  RUNNING  10.0.3.170  -     NO
[11:41] <cjwatson> And you did step 5, installing avahi-daemon in the container?
[11:41] <mpt> avahi-daemon is already the newest version.

[11:41] <cjwatson> Does "sudo avahi-browse -at | grep lpdev" print anything?
[11:42] <mpt> cjwatson, it exits without output
[11:42] <cjwatson> Hmm
[11:42] <cjwatson> I have to admit that I stopped using lucid containers for LP a while ago
[11:42] <cjwatson> wgrant: possibly we should update Running/LXC to recommend precise
[11:43] <cjwatson> mpt: It might be worth retrying with precise - you can call the container something different like "precise-lpdev" to avoid having to redo the lucid work if that turns out not to help
[11:43] <mpt> ok, I’ll try that, thanks
[11:43] <cjwatson> There's only a limited extent to which it makes sense to try to fix lucid at this stage, I think
[11:43] <cjwatson> And the majority of LP is on precise now ...
[11:59] <mpt> Doing the lxc-create, I’m getting a lot of “Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)”
[11:59] <mpt> Does that mean I’m out of disk space?
[12:00] <cjwatson> Shouldn't, that literally just means /dev/pts isn't mounted in (I suppose) the container
[12:00] <cjwatson> Probably a bug in the lxc template
[12:00] <mpt> ok
[12:00] <cjwatson> Relatively harmless during creation though
[12:07] <mpt> Well, the container won’t start up like the lucid one did: “lpdev-precise login: <4>init: setvtrgb main process (270) terminated with status 1”
[12:07] <mpt> Oh, I just needed to press Enter X-)
[12:11] <cjwatson> Ah, yeah, that's just overlapping output
[12:11] <cjwatson> Unsightly but harmless
[12:16] <mpt> Success: Thanks cjwatson
[12:21] <cjwatson> Great
[12:22] <wgrant> cjwatson: Indeed. I'll run through it with precise next week just to make sure nothing else needs fixing.
[12:23]  * mpt wonders what the past tense of “troubleshoot” is. Troubleshooted? Troubleshot?
[12:25] <cjwatson> investigated
[12:25] <cjwatson> It's one of those irregular verbs. :-)
[12:25] <mpt> Troubleshat
[12:25] <wgrant> Heh
[12:26] <cjwatson> problemgeschossen [yes yes I know]
[12:44] <jpds> mpt: Now ask yourself what the past tense of 'tweet' is.
[12:48] <mpt> jpds, I believe you are referring to http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/jul/29/david-cameron-apology-radio-twitter
[12:48] <cjwatson> I discovered around new year that the Irish for "to tweet" is tvuíteáil, which is rather mine
[12:48] <cjwatson> *nice
[12:48] <cjwatson> (where did "mine" come from?)
[14:03] <jtv> cjwatson: If I were of the Freudian persuation, I'd say you were greedy.  :)
