Hello guys,

after upgrading to Fedora 31, I have a issue with LXC containers, which I am unable to start. Message from lxc-start shows (formatting is weird from output):

sudo lxc-start ldap --foreground
lxc-start: ldap: cgroups/cgfsng.c: cg_legacy_set_data: 2299 Failed to setup limits for the "devices" controller. The controller seems to be unused by "cgfsng" cgroup driver or not enabled on the cgroup hierarchy

      lxc-start: ldap: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 329 The container failed to start

dmesg and journalctl -fe show only messages related to opening/connecting network interfaces and it seems to be ok (no error messages).

Can you confirm this behaviour? Should I open a bug ticket to this?

Hello @ondrej and welcome to the community.

Since cgroups are mentioned in the errors, could it be related to that? Common F31 bugs - Fedora Project Wiki

Thanks! It was related! I should’ve read common bugs first.

Solution applied.

Should I report this somewhere? That shipped LXC is not working with new cgroups?
