as a normal user (not root) you can only use the download template.
i.e.
lxc-create -n foo -t download -d ubuntu -a amd64 -r trusty
, download templates downloads tarball of rootfs and creates the container, 
unlike other template, which construct the container using debootstrap/yum etc. 
That process involves device creation and other operations which is not 
possible as normal user. Stephane Graber has a nice post on it:

Hi,

I had apt-get installed lxc on my Ubuntu 14.04 and everything was good.

Then I installed the latest snapshot from https://github.com/lxc/lxc and
now most of the commands just say this:

Insufficent privileges to control…

Lxc-create has other problems:

root@se:~/lxc-create -n cn_03 -t ubuntu
lxc_container: Bad address - failed to execute template 
/usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu
lxc_container: container creation template for cn_03 failed
lxc_container: Error creating container cn_03

What am I doing wrong?
