That's no good. If you're running lxd 0.9 (our latest release as of Tuesday), can you paste the output of: lxc info trusty-lxd-test --show-log > After seeing the error, I tried with sudo: > > $ sudo lxc launch images:ubuntu/trusty/amd64 trusty-lxd-test > Creating container...error: Container exists sudo shouldn't make a difference here, since the client doesn't do anything based on what uid it is run as. > I then went looking for the list: > > $ sudo lxc list > error: setting config item for the container failed > > I get the same error without the sudo on the 'lxc list' > > > I can see the container directory in /var/lib/lxd/lxc, but not sure why > the lxc command has gotten itself into this state. > > Q) Should the default install be able to create unprivileged containers?

Good question; at this point it looks like your db is probably wedged and your best bet is to delete /var/lib/lxd (or at least the db) and try again. However, it would be useful to have a copy of the db so I could poke around and see what happened. Also the log output above would be useful.
