Hello John, ssh has different (pseudo) terminal allocation if you execute a command.
Please use ssh -t to force pseudo-tty allocation. ssh -t remote_host lxc-console -n vps_on_remote_host The other way around is to ssh remote_host and work with lxc-* as normal. For lxc-start it is not very convenient, so I recommend to use the start sequence from some Archlinux start script screen -dmS init-vps_on_remote_host lxc-start -n vps_on_remote_host.
