LXC container arch linux does not offer login

I am sure this is silly, but it still seems I cannot find my way out of it.
I am trying to set up an archlinux container within Arch Linux. I have followed verbatim the wiki, and the added comment on how to circumvent new problems deriving from the introduction of systemd. The container installs without errors, and it starts without errors, and yet... the command lxc-console does not
offer me a login prompt, it just stops at "Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console...".
The machine is running (replies correctly to pings); I tried to install ssh server ab initio in the hope of connecting via ssh rather than console, but no luck there. I am stumped because I do not know how to diagnose this problem. The only thing I did  "not" do, of those suggested in the wiki, is
For a container to be able to use a host's virtual console it must not be in use by the host. This will most likely require the host's /etc/inittab to be modified to ensure no getty or other process runs on any virtual console that is to be used by the container.
After editing the host's /etc/inittab file, issung a killall -HUP init will terminate any getty processes that are no longer configured and this will free up the virtual conosole for use by the container.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if you've tried Docker yet, but it took about 3 minutes to have a working Arch Docker container on my Ubuntu 12.04 server:

    That is likely unrelated.  If probably just have a bootloader using BIOS mode.

  • Why Apple/MAC does not offer server mounting application?

    I am very disappointed to see that MAC /Apple does not offer simple server mounting application.
    It is a  very basic facility provided in Linux. I am forced to use third party stuff like OSXFuse which still is not a permanent solution.
    Hope someone at Apple could fix it.

    I do not understand your question.  Do you want to mount file servers that DO NOT support CIFS/SMB or Apple Filing Protocol (AFP)?
    Or do you want to mount file system formats not supported by Mac OS X (ext[234], btrfs, ZFS, etc...)?
    Can you please clarify your question.
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... will allow connecting to file servers via CIFS/SMB or AFP protocols.
    Mac OS X will try to mount any directly attached file system (HFS+, NTFS (readonly), FAT, FAT32, exFAT).
    What are you trying to mount?
    NOTE:  No one in Mac OS X software development visits here.  This is a User-to-User forum.  You can send your feedback to:
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
    You will not get a reply, but it will be read by someone inside Apple.  I suggest you provide more details on what you desire, as they will not start a dialog with you as I'm trying to do.

  • ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

    I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • How to create an OAF page that does not need login to access

    We have a lot of Oracle users, and everyday there are some users forget there username or password and need reset. I really want to use a web page to let them reset their passwords automatically. The web page will call the API to reset password if it found the user request is legible.
    So based on the situation, the users should not need a login to get to this page, can I do this using OAF?
    And idea is welcome, thank you for your help!
    -Bill
    Edited by: billzheng2004 on Jun 18, 2009 12:12 PM

    Srini,
    Thank you for your response, I think we need to go back to my original question, is it possible to create an OAF page that does not need login, how can I do that.
    I think I said too much and led us to go to a different direction I did't want to. But I am still glad to texplain why I need a custom password reset process, that is all about business requirement, here it is:
    ----I am not sure that "company issues" (such as what you described) can be solved by software -
    I already have a solution for that. Create a custom OAF page, ask user to input his SSN / Date of Birth.... then I can figure out what his real username easily. And I can reset his password as his SSN or something which only this particular user knows. Then he can login.
    ----you may have to impart training to end users.
    As I mentioned, most of our users use only Benefit self service. They only login several times a year, even they are trained this year, most of them will forget next year, this is just human nature. And because the nature of our business, thousands of employees may change at the end of a year. It does not make any business sense for company to prepare trainers every year.
    ----In any case, the functionality you require is already built into the product.
    I guess the reason most companies hire Oracle Developers is that some functionality Oracle Applications provide is not exactly the companies needed. When there is Oracle Apps product, there is alway customization.

  • Lync 2010 client does not offer any NON-direct UDP Candidates in its SIP Invite' SDP - why?

    Hello.
    We have a customer, experiencing the following issue.
    They have big multi-continental Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition deployment, with non-NAT'ted Edge Pool.
    The call scenario is simple: peer-to-peer video (A/V) call between external Lync client and Video system, Cisco VCS
    in this case but does not matter, which (video system) only supports media over UDP (which is nothing strange). The VCS has a lot of video endpoints all over the Globe, Lync clients are also everywhere, so call can be any "distance", not predictable.
    All video endpoints are registered on this single VCS.
    The video call, as I suspect, only succeeds IF direct peer-to-peer UDP connection works and fails otherwise.
    I skip the overall design, keeping here only what is relevant.
    Video system offers only its own local IP as UDP candidate (type = host), which in this particular
    case is expected, let's assume there is no TURN etc expected on video system' side, it is directly Internet-facing.
    Now the main bit. Lync client offers ALL proper TCP candidates: both local AND non-local, using external
    public IP addresses of both A/V Edge Hardware LoadBalancer VIP and public IP address of one of Edge servers.
    Those candidates are enlisted perfectly fine (I checked carefully), so SIP INVITE has them all offered.
    Now: the Lync 2010 client ONLY offers direct/local UDP candidate (type = host) with its own IP address,
    but does NOT offer any NON-local UDP Candidates at all (while, again, for TCP candidates the full set of non-local (A/V Edge) ones is offered).
    WHY this can happen?
    Again my guess on where to dig is: TCP candidates (which are completely useless for such video call)
    are all offered fine with A/V Edge's public IPs, both VIP and particular node ones. Does this fact make sense?
    WHAT can be the reason why the same or similar remote/Edge Candidates are not being
    offered/enlisted for UDP while for TCP they are offered?
    What I already found, to be excluded easily: the whole client sign-in and in-band provisioning is OK, all about
    certificates is Ok, and all about MRAS URI and MRAS Credentials (looking sign-in traces) is also fine. Client gets proper MRAS username/password and ALL about signaling before SDP is also fine (no TLS or MRAS related errors).
    I cannot rule-out potential DNS issues at the moment, however unlikely: otherwise how it would get proper list
    of NON-local TCP candidates and all SIP signalling with the Edge working Ok if it would be DNS-specific issue?
    What, however, I have not confirmed is: UDP port 3478 is most likely NOT opened on/between all of the involved parties (Edge's private and public interfaces, Hardware LoadBalancer's interfaces and client),
    and/or UDP 3478 communication is most likely getting blocked completely (when the client is external), however for instance TCP 443 is everywhere opened.
    Can THIS be somehow related to why it properly allocates non-local TCP but none of
    non-local UDP Candidates?
    What traces show on call negotiation is ICE Connectivity Failed and/or ICE Warning - I have real it carefully, did WireShark'ing, what I suspect is: simply ICE Connectivity Checks fails on direct P2P UDP which is of course expected, and because no non-local
    UDP candidates are offered and TCP is not allowed on video system' side - it fails. WireShark shows the following: millions of outgoing UDP from the client to Cisco VCS and not even one INcoming UDP back from VCS.
    Sometimes, depending on the external client's location, call, however, succeeds. I guess (guess)
    this is because SOMETIMES direct UDP flows Ok, while in vast majority of the cases it expectedly does not.
    Big thanks.

  • Container element 'ADDRESSSTRINGS' does not exists

    Dear all,
    I am trying to define expression for recipient type
    it gives me error
    container element 'ADDRESSSTRINGS' does not exists
    container element 'EXPRESS' does not exists
    container element 'TYPEID' does not exists
    Can you please share the technical detail of these parameters
    or is there some other problem
    Best of regards,
    Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav,
    These are the standard task container's for the send mail step type.
    No need create these container's and already they are available in the Task container.
    Have you used the standard task to send the mail? If so just double click the Task ID and you can find these container's under the Container Tab.
    Just delete the send mail step and create a new one. It will solve the issue.
    Thanks,

    Dear Gurrus,
    While creating clarification case category i am having  this error "Container element 'NODEOBJECT' does not exist" .
    kindly help me out in resolving these issue.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    I think you need to check  Note 1082707 - Error message 'Container element ... does not exist'
    Symptom
    You have created a container element manually in a case category and you are trying to define the dataflow but in the binding editor you are receiving error message SWF_EXP_001 035 'Container element ... does not exist'.
    Other terms
    FP-EMMA, BPEM, EMMACCAT2
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The problem only occurs if you create an invalid container element that contains one or more spaces in the element name.
    Solution
    Choose a valid element name that starts with a letter and contains only characters, numbers, or underscores. The following correction does insure this.
    See the full note if it can be of help.
