Thanks for submitting this bug. I agree with your analysis. The reason for the separate cgroup-lite package is that simply disabling the broken libcgroup tools by default, but still installing them, would (a) be harder to get into main (and not justifiable in my opinion) and (b) still look like an endorsement of the tools, when we know they are broken (for instance when used with libvirt). Plenty of new users would re-enable them, break libvirt, and file bugs.
If you are using lxc and wish to manipulate cgroups with a tool, the preferred way would be to use the lxc-cgroup command. I do believe (having just checked) there is a bug in lxc-cgroup in precise, but that should be fixed and should be a simple fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libcgroup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995956 Title: cgconfig upstart job should start earlier and mount all available cgroup types by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcgroup/+bug/995956/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
