[Bug 1277466] Re: unprivileged containers fail to start with 1.0.0~beta4-0ubuntu1

 

I was seeing the "Permission denied - failed to get real path for [...]"
error on Ubuntu 14.04 with LXC 1.0.5-0ubuntu0.1 and linux-
image-3.13.0-32-generic, and after some fruitless debugging, figured out
I just needed to add +x permission on the container directory itself:

setfacl -m u:100000:x ~/ ~/.local ~/.local/share ~/.local/share/lxc
~/.local/share/lxc/CONTAINER

(It lacked +x because my umask was 007 instead of 002.)
