I also get this behavior.
What happens is that the /dev/ttyN nodes do not exist (understandably),
and thus the ‘console-font-ttyN’ Shepherd services fail to start, and
get restarted, indefinitely.
The container is working as expected though. If you find the PID of the
container’s ‘shepherd’ process (its PID 1, which obviously has a
different PID outside the container), then you can do:
guix container exec NNN /bin/sh
where NNN is that PID of that ‘shepherd’ process (I use ‘pstree’ to find
the PID… not very convenient.)
In that shell, you can do:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sh-4.4# . /etc/profile
sh-4.4# ls
bin dev etc gnu home proc root run sys tmp var
sh-4.4# herd status
Started:
+ containerized-shepherd
+ file-systems
+ guix-daemon
+ host-name
+ loopback
+ nscd
+ root
+ root-file-system
+ ssh-daemon
+ syslogd
+ term-tty1
+ term-tty2
+ term-tty3
+ term-tty4
+ term-tty5
+ term-tty6
+ udev
+ urandom-seed
+ user-file-systems
+ user-processes
+ virtual-terminal
Stopped:
- console-font-tty1
- console-font-tty2
- console-font-tty3
- console-font-tty4
- console-font-tty5
- console-font-tty6
- networking
- term-auto
- user-homes
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So in that sense everything is working “as expected.”
Now, it would make more sense to simply remove those ‘console-font-ttyN’
services in a container and everything that depends on them. Not sure
if we should do that automatically.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
