LXC Containers
 

I'm trying to setup my first LXC containers. I've managed to
bootstrap an Arch container, but can't login to it even after manually
adding a password to root in it's shadow file. I've also tried using
/usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu to setup an Ubuntu container. That
seems to always return E: Invalid Release file, no entry for
main/binary-x86_64/Packages no matter which release I try. Does
anyone happen to know how to solve one or both of these problems?

Thanks,
=-Jameson

Well, I answered one of my questions, already. x86_64 is not a valid
architecture for Debian based systems. They call it amd64. :)

Did you try lxc-console after starting the arch container?

No. I set it up to run in virt-manager, and for some reason
lxc-console says that it's not running if I start it from there. I'm
going to have to hammer on the config to get lxc-start to be able to
start it.

Hm, I start my Arch-container with lxc-start. Config under
