[Bug 1413343] Re: lxc-create debug output is broken or useless

[Serge Hallyn]

Sorry, I don't quite understand your questions.  What do you mean by
"running under the root"?  What is "the problem" at this point?  If
you're getting an error creating unprivileged containers (which are
created/started without becoming the root user), see "Basic unprivileged
usage" at https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/lxc.html.  You just
need to create ~/.config/lxc/default.conf with a default userid mapping,
and grant yourself the right to connect network interfaces to lxcbr0
using the file /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet.

As for a 'default template', I believe the download template is now the
most commonly used.  You can just do

sudo lxc-create -n b1 -t download

to be interactively queried as to the distribution/release/architecture.
In comment #2 I showed how to create a container using the most reason
Ubuntu LTS (14.04 trusty tahr) as the guest OS.
