Package: lxc
Version: 1:2.0.7-2
Severity: normal
Hi, I was running a root SSH session from my normal user X11 session. As
root, I created a simple container with ``lxc-create -t debian -n test3``,
then I edited its config file to set ``lxc.console = none``. When I started
the container with ``lxc-start -n test3``, my user's X11 session closed
abruptly. I checked that this happened any time that I entered X11, SSH'd as
root and started or stopped the container. Removing the ``lxc.console``
option allowed the container to start and stop without issues.
Some messages that may be relevant from ``/var/log/Xorg.0.log``:

When running directly as root from a virtual console (e.g. tty1), stopping the
container shows shutdown messages and closes the host console. When starting
it, I get the container login on the virtual console, then after a second the
host console, then the container console, and so on…
``lxc.container.conf(5)`` says about ``lxc.console``:
> The keyword 'none' will simply disable the console. This is dangerous once
> if have a rootfs with a console device file where the application can write,
> the messages will fall in the host.
I expected from that warning to get container messages in the host, but not to
have it reset my session. Maybe a new warning is needed there?
Thank you very much!
