Hey Guys,

I urgently need assistance as I currently have a VM down after doing a Node Upgrade using apt-get upgrade.

Currently getting this error when starting a Ubuntu VM and cant figure out why the Pre-start hook is failing.

lxc-start -o /tmp/lxc-start.log -l debug -n 101

lxc-start 20160909143616.459 INFO lxc_conf - conf.c:run_script_argv:367 - Executing script '/usr/share/lxc/hooks/lxc-pve-prestart-hook' for container '101', config section 'lxc'

something about pre-start hooks..

Any help would be MUCH appreciated as I dont wanna loose data or have to reinstall

Thanks in advanced.

What version do you run exactly?

# pveversion -v

And please can you post the container config?

# pct config 101
 
Seem its cause of this

unsupported ubunt version '13.10'

How does one upgrade or trick it so it boots?

Thanks
Sonic
 
Also, please post the output of

# lxc-start -F -n 101

that way you should see the error message from the pre-start script.
 
Thanks Dietmar :)

What I posted was from /tmp/lxc-start.log

I now have the VM running

Thanks
Sonic
