Public bug reported: After upgrading to 14.04 I created an unprivileged lxc container following https://www.stgraber.org/2014/01/17/lxc-1-0-unprivileged- containers/
Unlike root containers they fail to start. With logging level strace I get this output: lxc-start 1397905196.384 INFO lxc_start_ui - using rcfile /home/blizzz/.local/share/lxc/ubuntu1404/config lxc-start 1397905196.384 INFO lxc_confile - read uid map: type u nsid 0 hostid 120000 range 65536 lxc-start 1397905196.384 INFO lxc_confile - read uid map: type g nsid 0 hostid 120000 range 65536 lxc-start 1397905196.386 WARN lxc_log - lxc_log_init called with log already initialized lxc-start 1397905196.392 INFO lxc_lsm - LSM security driver AppArmor lxc-start 1397905196.393 DEBUG lxc_conf - allocated pty '/dev/pts/12' (5/6) lxc-start 1397905196.394 DEBUG lxc_conf - allocated pty '/dev/pts/13' (7/8) lxc-start 1397905196.394 DEBUG lxc_conf - allocated pty '/dev/pts/15' (9/10) lxc-start 1397905196.394 DEBUG lxc_conf - allocated pty '/dev/pts/16' (11/12) lxc-start 1397905196.394 INFO lxc_conf - tty's configured lxc-start 1397905196.394 DEBUG lxc_start - sigchild handler set lxc-start 1397905196.394 DEBUG lxc_console - no console peer lxc-start 1397905196.396 INFO lxc_monitor - using monitor sock name lxc/f59b2b10dfad8de3//home/blizzz/.local/share/lxc lxc-start 1397905196.708 INFO lxc_start - 'ubuntu1404' is initialized lxc-start 1397905196.715 DEBUG lxc_start - Not dropping cap_sys_boot or watching utmp lxc-start 1397905196.715 INFO lxc_start - Cloning a new user namespace lxc-start 1397905196.715 INFO lxc_cgroup - cgroup driver cgroupfs initing for ubuntu1404 lxc-start 1397905196.716 ERROR lxc_cgfs - Permission denied - failed to set memory.use_hierarchy to 1; continuing lxc-start 1397905196.716 ERROR lxc_cgfs - Could not set clone_children to 1 for cpuset hierarchy in parent cgroup. lxc-start 1397905196.717 ERROR lxc_cgfs - Permission denied - cgroup_rmdir: failed to delete /var/local/cgroup/ lxc-start 1397905196.717 ERROR lxc_start - failed creating cgroups lxc-start 1397905196.717 ERROR lxc_start - failed to spawn 'ubuntu1404' lxc-start 1397905196.717 ERROR lxc_commands - command get_cgroup failed to receive response lxc-start 1397905196.718 WARN lxc_cgfs - Not attaching to cgroup hugetlb unknown to /home/blizzz/.local/share/lxc ubuntu1404 Given, it sounds there are permission issues with regard to cloning/configuring cgroups, on the other hand I did not change anything knowingly (and I would not know how).
