lxc-attach stopped working for docker containers

Thanks - I assume that the docker containers are started with 'lxc-start <...> -f cofnigfile'. That is the trigger for the use of the anon lxcpath, which also caused autostart to fail. The git commit you cite is indeed the fix for this. I"ll fix this in trusty and SRU to saucy.

Yep they are started there https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/container.go#L814 where params include the config there: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/container.go#L765

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 1.0.0~alpha2-0ubuntu4

---------------
lxc (1.0.0~alpha2-0ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=low

  * get_rid_of_lxcpath_anon_idea.patch: allow lxc-stop and lxc-attach to
    work more easily with containers started with a custom config (-f).

Is that normal not having an update on saucy ?

The fix needs to go into the development release first, which just happened. Then it can be SRU'd (Stable Release Update) to stable releases. This is to set a high bar for stable release updates so that we minimize the risk of breakage to installed stable releases.

Hello kiorky, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxc into saucy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done.
