Hi,

I've tried to run a Parabola installation inside libvirt LXC (inside a
guix system intallation) and it gives me the following error:
> Unable to complete install: 'internal error: guest failed to start: Failure in libvirt_lxc startup: Unable to create directory /sys/fs/cgroup/unified: No such file or directory
> '
>

Is it already fixed in libvirt master branch? Or is it a new bug?

Also is there any existing workarounds?

Denis.

Hi,

When testing again with x86_64 Guix and Parabola it works fine now.

Denis.
