Arch Linux User Repository

@svinto, to fix that error you have to enable some type of kernel security module. After much debugging, I found the issue lies in a call to getcon() returning -1 (presumably because no kernel security was set up on my machine? -- I wasn't able to find the source for that function anywhere). Anyway, through much keyboard grinding and finally a little deductive reasoning, I found that simply enabling apparmor in the kernel fixed the issue. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AppArmor#Installation. That still leaves me with another issue that I haven't bothered resolving. From the man page (-r option): NB. "DIR" must contain a matching install of the libvirt-sandbox package. This restriction may be lifted in a future version. I think it's due to my target image not having the package (it's Debian for Christ's sake) as to why it gets past the "Unable to get SELinux context of user: Invalid argument" but hangs indefinitely on a 20M image.

I'm getting SELinux errors when virt-manager tries to run virt-sandbox. I'm not sure if this is a problem with this AUR package, or if I have done something wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I tried to use virt-manager to create a LXC operating system container, and used the source URI: docker://archlinux

When I execute the command that virt-manager tries to run I get the same error as virt-manager:

$ virt-sandbox --security=inherit -c qemu:///session --name=bootstrap_156213 -m host-bind:/mnt=/home/svintoo/.local/share/libvirt/filesystems/arch-container -- /bin/tar xf /home/svintoo/.cache/virt-bootstrap/docker_images/cb935d5e749430e85932672b87cad9b38f00b683af62df0c8c08b6694db381e7 -C /mnt --exclude dev/* --exclude */.wh.* --overwrite --absolute-names
Unable to parse security: Unable to get SELinux context of user: Invalid argument

Please, add xz-static-git as makedepend Anyway, build fails

any chance of this getting fixed? I don't know how. Here's the output of the rpc missing, in case it's helpful:

CC libvirt_sandbox_1_0_la-libvirt-sandbox-console-rpc.lo In file included from ../libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-rpcpacket.h:26, from libvirt-sandbox-console-rpc.c:34: ../libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-protocol.h:9:10: fatal error: rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory #include <rpc rpc.h=""></rpc>

it's also missing libguestfs

Build stage fails. It requires rpcgen, but it is not present. Add rpcsvc-proto as makedepend Anyway, build fails due to rpc.h missing

@rodneyrod do gpg --recv-key BE86EBB415104FDF

Not building, fails with following error:

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... libvirt-sandbox-0.6.0.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key BE86EBB415104FDF)

Tip: If running `virt-sandbox` gives the following error:

$ virt-sandbox -c qemu:///session /bin/sh
Unable to start sandbox: Error when getting information for file '/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.4-1-ARCH': No such file or directory

you need to pass it the path to the (currently booted) kernel like so:

$ virt-sandbox --kernpath=$(sed -e "s/.*\(BOOT_IMAGE=\([^ ]*\)\) .*/\2/" /proc/cmdline) -c qemu:///session /bin/sh

To save on typing, you can also create a shell alias:

$ alias virt-sandbox='virt-sandbox --kernpath=$(sed -e "s/.*\(BOOT_IMAGE=\([^ ]*\)\) .*/\2/" /proc/cmdline)'
