Details

Description:

a container created with the lxc-archlinux template has getty disabled (except on the console) because getty@.service has ConditionPathExists=/dev/tty0, and the container doesn't have that device. lxc-console does connect to the container, but since getty isn't running no login is possible.

Steps to reproduce:
# lxc-create -n arch -t archlinux
# lxc-start -d -n arch
# lxc-console -n arch


A suggested fix:
add something like this to configure_arch() in lxc-archlinux:

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d
cat <<EOC >/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/lxc.conf
[Unit]
ConditionPathExists=
ConditionPathExists=/dev/tty1
EOC
This task depends upon

or, maybe this is better filed upstream?

did you try
lxc-console -n name -t 0
?

yes, 'lxc-console -n name -t 0' works, but it connects to /dev/console. It seems like a bug to me that /dev/tty1 exists, but that getty doesn't run on it.

please report upstream
