Thanking you for your response and I apologize for not seeing your reponse sooner but I didn’t look here and was assuming that I would receive a notice of response as I had the other times.
So I changed this:
memyself@xxxxx:~$ lxc exec debian – cat /etc/network/interfaces
The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and now I get:
memyself@xxxxx:~$ lxc list
±-------±--------±-----±-----±-----------±----------+
| NAME | STATE | IPV4 | IPV6 | TYPE | SNAPSHOTS |
±-------±--------±-----±-----±-----------±----------+
| debian | RUNNING | | | PERSISTENT | 0 |
±-------±--------±-----±-----±-----------±----------+
When I look at the page
insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/07lxd-networking-lxdbr0-explained/
it is suggested (about a half a page down) that ". . . the file /etc/default/lxd-bridge . . . " can be edited.
Sorry - - - I can’t find that file in neither the host nor the container. Its also not clear how, or to what, this file should be edited to. Is it perhaps what is following “for feature parity with lxcbr0, . . . .” (There is about a page of text following that point.)
What is not clear - - - is one to ‘create’ that file (and if so - - - where) or???
(I tried after the mentioned reversals but there still is no networking.)
TIA
