Add: lxc.network.type = empty If you don't have any lxc.network.type sections, then the container shares network with the host, and so the container talks to the host's systemd. (same with upstart) > When I start the container in LXC, all that happens is that my X session > dies (this is running in another container). The X session re-starts but > the keyboard does not work.
