Hi again Sorry for the late reaction on this.. So everything seems to work fine for me when using the setting below, except maybe for one little point I was kind of expecting that # virsh -c lxc:/// lxc-enter-namespace my_32bits_vm ... would run in a 32bits environment too, but from what I can see it is not the case I take it it can be argued, reading the documentation for lxc-enter-namespace again, that might well be the intended behaviour In this case I would argue it would make a lot of sense to have either : (a) lxc-enter-namespace to do the right thing personality-wise as well (possibly through an option if there are legacy concerns) or (b) a virsh function/command that can help retrieve the right personality like e.g. virsh -c lxc:/// personality the_vm that would return either linux32 or linux64 so it would be possible to run $(virsh -c lxc:/// personality the_vm) virsh -c lxc:/// lxc-enter-namespace the_vm — /usr/bin/env yum groupinstall ... Or is there something else available already that I am missing altogether ? Thanks — Thierry On 02 Jul 2014, at 11:29, Daniel P.
