You shouldn't have to.  Lxc does it for you on the container directory,
and on ubuntu by default your homedir should be world readable.
Encrypted homedir presumably changed that for you.

(The container dir itself not having the right ownership usually means
something went wrong during a previous lxc run.)

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.  Please grant it 'x' access, or add an ACL for the container root.
  lxc-start: sync.c: __sync_wait: 51 invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
  lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1213 failed to spawn 'container-test2'
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  Is this because my home directory is encrypted? Which user is it
  trying to connect as? Here are my permissions on /home:

  $ ls -lh /home/
  total 212K
  drwx------ 113 mthaddon  mthaddon 204K Jan 20 17:41 mthaddon
  drwxr-xr-x   2 safechain nogroup  4.0K Jul 31  2014 safechain
