[Bug 1533833] Re: unprivileged lxc containers won't start, need to put sessions into "pids" cgroup controller

Fri Feb 19 21:28:17 UTC 2016

strangely enough, adding the aa_allow_incomplete option doesn't seem to
make a difference;  container startup keeps failing at the same point.

In any case, it does seem to initialize the container correctly, and I
seem to hit a different issue.  The entire cgroup thing seems to work
now, at least:

which seems to pass the point where it failed before.

A little bit later, it now fails with

even if the apparmor setting is set in the config file.

Bug description:
  I'n trying to get (unpriviliged) lxc containers to run on wily.  I
  create a container like this:

  > lxc-create -t download -n u1 -- -d ubuntu -r wily -a amd64

  that works.  However, starting the container fails:

  > lxc-start -n u1                                            
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 346 To get more details, run the container in foreground mode.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  Setting the log priority to debug shows the following (relevant part
  only):

  So it seems a cgmanager issue.  Syslog shows:
