Centos lxc container won't start on Ubuntu 14.10

Question

I am trying to run Centos containers in Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic and also Ubuntu 14.04 trusty. I created the container in several different ways and no matter what it won't start and spits those lines:

# lxc-start -n centos1 -F
init: Failed to spawn lxc-sysinit pre-start process: unable to set priority: Permission denied
init: Failed to spawn rcS pre-start process: unable to set priority: Permission denied
init: Failed to spawn rcS post-stop process: unable to set priority: Permission denied

I searched here and there and I found some things. I tried adding those lines in the config one by one and all of them:

lxc.aa_allow_incomplete = 1
lxc.aa_profile = unconfined
lxc.kmsg = 0

I also tried different ways to create the container:

lxc-create -n centos1 -t download -- -d centos --release 6 -a i386
lxc-create -n centos1 -t centos

I also tried some other templates I found over there instead of the one that comes with ubuntu.

Any hints ? Thank you very much.

don't start and/or don't create lxc centos containers? – Yonsy Solis Jan 02 '16 at 06:01 — Yonsy Solis, Jan 02 '16 at 06:01
The container is created, it just won't start – Francesc Guasch Jan 10 '16 at 07:29 — Francesc Guasch, Jan 10 '16 at 07:29

How about trying these commands:

lxc remote add images 1.2.3.4
lxc launch images:centos/6/i386 test

You need to specify where these images will be found you can do this by specifying images: to launch.

Hi Dimitrios, the containers got created, and the centos images where downloaded. Anyway, can you elaborate on the add images command ? What IP should I add ? – Francesc Guasch May 24 '17 at 16:59
The ip you should use is the `1.2.3.4` this is the one in order to use the oficial lxc container repository. – Dimitrios Desyllas May 24 '17 at 20:12
