Error: container_create(...) failed: timeout while waiting for signal. when creating an arch container using vmc

[Hugo Cornago]

Hi, I get an error creating an arch linux container inside Crostini.

I was following this guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices/Crostini).

Steps I made:

1. Enable the 'Linux Beta' option in settings.

2. Open crosh and delete penguin: 

 - vmc start termina

 - (termina) lxc stop penguin

 - (termina) lxc delete penguin

3. Install the arch container:

 - vmc container termina arch https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org archlinux/current

Here, it should display the following error:

"Error: routine at frontends/vmc.rs:403 `container_setup_user(vm_name,user_id_hash,container_name,username)` failed: timeout while waiting for signal"

But I get:

Error: routine at frontends/vmc.rs:579 `container_create(vm_name,&user_id_hash,container_name,source)` failed: timeout while waiting for signal"

So, when I tried to list the lxc containers arch dont appear.

My device specifications:
