The container root, i.e. the first uid you put in /etc/subuid. If you grant access to that user (either by making it world +x or adding an acl as the message says), you should be able to launch a container. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536297 Title: unable to lxc-start unprivileged LXC on wily due to permissions error Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
