[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#566180: virsh can define lxc domain but does not list nor properly start it

[Adam Majer]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: normal

I'm getting segfaults trying to start lxc container,

# virsh -c lxc:/// version 
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.2
Using library: libvir 0.8.2
Using API: LXC 0.8.2
Running hypervisor: LXC 2.6.34

# dmesg
[2239291.304216] device veth0 entered promiscuous mode
[2239291.311094] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): veth0: link is not ready

OR,

virsh # start mysql --console
Domain mysql started
error: The domain is not running

[2239611.516378] device veth0 entered promiscuous mode

So yes, it is not started. But it is listed now if it is defined. If I
create the domain, I get above segfault and it is never saved.


The container starts with lxc-start
