I do a define, start and console : [root@fedora12new lxc-libvirt-scripts]# virsh -c lxc:// console testf12new Connected to domain testf12new Escape character is ^] --> I press enter here and virsh exits. I don't get login prompt always. Sometimes I do and when I try to login it rejects my password. Apparently, the same rootfs works fine with lxc tools and I can login. Snippet from etc/event.d/tty1 : respawn exec /sbin/mingetty pts/0 I use "exec /sbin/mingetty tty1" for lxc tools and that works fine. I had to try pts/0 for libvirt since tty1 does not even get me the occasional login prompts I get with pts. Also even after virsh shutdown, I see that the container processes do not exit. Is there something else I should do? ~nirmal
