Error waiting for container (ubuntu) network information: timeout while waiting for state to become 'OK' (last state: 'NOT FOUND', timeout: 3m0s)

[thepenguinthatwants]

Hi!

I reinstalled my desktop and tried to run this simple terrafom setup but it still fails.

provider "lxd" {
  generate_client_certificates = true
  accept_remote_certificate    = true

}

resource "lxd_container" "ubuntu" {
  name                         = "ubuntu"
  image                        = "ubuntu:18.04"
  ephemeral                    = false
}

Not sure what is the cause of this.

Error waiting for container (ubuntu) network information: timeout while waiting for state to become 'OK' (last state: 'NOT FOUND', timeout: 3m0s)

Any idea how to further debug?

My lxc should work fine as I could launch an image by. I've reinstalled my laptop so I might have something that I missed.

lxc launch ubuntu:18.04

Seems like my containers dont even have IPV4 nor are capable of accessing network. Most likely problem is related on something being broken on lxd.

@thepenguinthatwants I was able to create an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine, install LXD, and have the configuration you provided successfully create a container:

sudo su
snap install lxd
lxd init
<choose the default answer for all questions>
apt-get install unzip
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.26/terraform_0.12.26_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.12.26_linux_amd64.zip
mv terraform /usr/local/bin
wget https://github.com/sl1pm4t/terraform-provider-lxd/releases/download/v1.3.0/terraform-provider-lxd_v1.3.0_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform-provider-lxd_v1.3.0_linux_amd64.zip 
mv terraform-provider-lxd_v1.3.0_x4 /usr/local/bin
mkdir t
cd t
vi main.tf

contents of main.tf:

resource "lxd_container" "ubuntu" {
  name                         = "ubuntu"
  image                        = "ubuntu:18.04"
  ephemeral                    = false
}

then:

terraform init
terraform apply

I'm not sure of the issue you could be running into based on the information you've provided.

Thanks for the reply. This was my own foolishness.

The problem was because I had dnsmasq enabled and it somehow messed it up. So I disabled the service and its now good.
