I tried again, the container is now running...could it be because I got the fix from pam_lxcfs ?

LXC package version: lxc 2.0.0~rc10-0ubuntu2 How to reproduce: 1) Create a xenial container, I was trying to setup Libertine ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Libertine ) so I used libertine-container-manager create -i libertine-test -n "Libertine Test" -t lxc -d xenial At the end of the creation process I got an error "failed to start container". ChrisTownsend on IRC #ubuntu-touch suggested using lxc-start -n libertine-test -P ~/.cache/libertine-container --logfile start_xenial.out --logpriority DEBUG to get some debug output.
