Here is a new drvlxc.html.in file to make the first example work. I'll
play with the second example next.

Thanks for the sample text; it looked good to me on a first read. Are
you willing to finish out this patch by also including the patch to
Makefile.am to generate drvlxc.html and distribute the new file?
However, when I tried the example, I got:
$ virsh --connect lxc:/// start vm1
error: Failed to start domain vm1
error: internal error Container 'LIBVIR_LXC_CMD' unexpectedly shutdown
during startup
when using the virsh in Fedora 13 (libvirt-0.7.7-4.fc13.x86_64). What
setup did you test with, to help me in updating my system to have a
similar setup?

Uh, sure. As I got yelled at last time for not sending the .in file
I was sure it was in there. But I see it, will send an update.

I used ubuntu lucid. I'll try to reproduce in an uptodate fedora 13.
However LIBVIR_LXC_CMD shouldn't be in the xml at all, rather the
result of
find /usr -name libvirt_lxc
should take its place.
(I haven't yet attacked the second example, so if you prefer to wait
for a single complete update, I'll try to get to that soon-ish)

Hmm, we're probably confusing each other. Sorry about that ;)
Your previous email attached drvlxc.html.in, and I thought it was a new
file; but looking at git, it is already an existing file. So the
question now is generating the diff between your version and what is
already in git.

Doh! Yep, that would explain it. I'll try again ;)

At this point, since you are improving an existing file, rather than
writing a new one, it's a lot easier to maintain your changes in git and
post just the changeset that describes the differences. The
README-hacking file has some hints for first-time git users, and both
the list and IRC can serve as additional resources if you have more
questions.

Yes, it worked just fine with /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc - I was able to
attach to a limited lxc console.

Hi Eric,
docs/Makefile has
dot_html_in = $(wildcard *.html.in)
and 'make distdir' does compile drvlxc.html
So when I get the second part of drvlxc.html.in updated, I'll send a
git diff for the whole thing.
thanks,

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH] docs: fix lxc examples
From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn(a)canonical.com>
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Use correct VM name, and mention that
libvirt_lxc might be in an alternate location.

I never saw a followup to this, but see no reason why it should not stop
applying the fixes we do have.
ACK to your original patch, and I'm pushing this:
