Print Page - couldn't generate 0.14.1 binaries

Hi! I'm trying to use gitian to make the binaries for v0.14.1 using LXC but I'm having problems, this is what gbuild prints:

Code:

--- Building for trusty amd64 ---

	from ./bin/gbuild:280:in `block in <main>'
	from ./bin/gbuild:278:in `each'
	from ./bin/gbuild:278:in `<main>'

the host is linux Mint, and the guest in the VM seems to to have internet access... what's with the "unknown user: ubuntu" error? and what about "sudo: unable to resolve host gitian"?
any help please?
I've done this a couple of years ago but I forgot about the details now

Also, I had to add the line

Code:

lxc.autodev = 0

to gitian-builder/etc/lxc.config.in, otherwise I was getting a "failed to mount /dev/shm" error. Is that ok?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using KVM instead of LXC? I have had issues with LXC and KVM works for me.

thanks but KVM fails too...

when I run make-base-vm for KVM (without the --lxc option) it just hangs. I know it's supposed to take a whlie, but it's been hours after the "Calling hook: bootstrap" message.

Then I tried another host, (ubuntu 12 instead of mint) and this time with LXC gbuild fails with "./bin/gbuild:199: must supply reference_datetime (RuntimeError)".
