[systemd-devel] machinectl login <system>: Failed to get machine PTY: Unit container-getty at 0.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

[Peter Paule]

Hi,

starting a container works fine. I'm running now systemd from git.  
Last commit is 1b41981d9a62443d566df6bcabc1b5024e9f5e4a which changes  
things with "container-getty".

   $ sudo machinectl start test-server

   $ sudo machinectl status test-server
   test-server

But when I tried to login I get the following error message:

   $ sudo machinectl login test-server
   Failed to get machine PTY: Unit container-getty at 0.service failed to  
load: No such file or directory.

I would like to troubleshoot

   Mar 17 16:41:36 test1.ib.vrnetze.de systemd-nspawn[706]: See

Is there another way to get a login prompt or fix the error above?
