Public bug reported:
I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html#lxc-
basic-usage but am getting a failure on lxc-start as follows:
lxc-start -n container-test2 -F
lxc-start: start.c: print_top_failing_dir: 102 Permission denied - could not
access /home/mthaddon. Please grant it 'x' access, or add an ACL for the
container root.
lxc-start: sync.c: __sync_wait: 51 invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1213 failed to spawn 'container-test2'
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by
setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.
Is this because my home directory is encrypted? Which user is it trying
to connect as? Here are my permissions on /home:
$ ls -lh /home/
