Thanks for reporting this. Please note that libvirt-lxc driver has been deprecated since rhel-7.1. See https://access.redhat.com/articles/1365153.

Moving to the upstream product.

FWIW I see this on f24, but not on f23, even with libvirt git.

The referenced XML is:

<domain type='lxc'>

By using Cole's XML and libvirt master (8ed874b39b3c330bbcdff434e08995dbb4467285), the message is not there anymore:

./tools/virsh --connect lxc:/// console bash              
Connected to domain bash
Escape character is ^]
sh-4.4# exit

./tools/virsh --connect lxc:/// version     
Compiled against library: libvirt 4.6.0
Using library: libvirt 4.6.0
Using API: LXC 4.6.0
Running hypervisor: LXC 4.17.3

So Cole, do you think this bug can be closed?

Comment 7 Daniel Berrangé 2024-12-17 12:08:05 UTC

Thank you for reporting this issue to the libvirt project. Unfortunately we have been unable to resolve this issue due to insufficient maintainer capacity and it will now be closed. This is not a reflection on the possible validity of the issue, merely the lack of resources to investigate and address it, for which we apologise. If you none the less feel the issue is still important, you may choose to report it again at the new project issue tracker https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues The project also welcomes contribution from anyone who believes they can provide a solution.
