[libvirt-users] internal error: unexcepted domain type lxc, excepted one of these: qemu, kqemu, kvm, xen

[Florian Klink]

Hi,

I'm not able to create lxc domains anymore with libvirt 1.2.0-1.

The current arch linux package is affected by this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38007).


vm.xml:

<domain type="lxc">
<name>test</name>
<memory unit="GiB">2</memory>
<os>
<type>exe</type>
<init>/sbin/init</init>
</os>
<devices>
<filesystem type="mount">
<source dir="/var/lib/libvirt/filesysystems/test"/>
<target dir="/"/>
</filesystem>
<interface type="network">
<source network="default"/>
</interface>
<console type="pty"/>
</devices>
</domain>



# virsh create vm.xml
error: Failed to create domain from vm.xml
error: internal error: unexcepted domain type lxc, excepted one of
these: qemu, kqemu, kvm, xen


However, ./configure reports that LXC support is compiled in:

configure: Drivers
configure:
configure: Xen: no
configure: QEMU: yes
configure: UML: yes
configure: OpenVZ: yes
configure: VMware: yes
configure: VBox: yes
configure: XenAPI: no

configure: LVM: yes
configure: iSCSI: no
configure: SCSI: yes
configure: mpath: yes
configure: Disk: yes
configure: RBD: no

Do you have any idea why it does not work anymore? I don't see any new
changes in src/conf/domain_conf.c where the error is thrown (line 10960)
on current git HEAD...
