Sorry, I don't quite understand your questions. What do you mean by "running under the root"? What is "the problem" at this point? If you're getting an error creating unprivileged containers (which are created/started without becoming the root user), see "Basic unprivileged usage" at https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/lxc.html. You just need to create ~/.config/lxc/default.conf with a default userid mapping, and grant yourself the right to connect network interfaces to lxcbr0 using the file /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet.
As for a 'default template', I believe the download template is now the most commonly used. You can just do sudo lxc-create -n b1 -t download to be interactively queried as to the distribution/release/architecture. In comment #2 I showed how to create a container using the most reason Ubuntu LTS (14.04 trusty tahr) as the guest OS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413343 Title: lxc-create debug output is broken or useless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1413343/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
