[lxc-users] UPDATE FAILED - LXD - 2.3-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1

[Matthew Williams]

I guess I might be seeing something similar? (I came to this list to report
my problem but found this thread which seems maybe related)

Also on trusty, been working fine for months. Earlier today I did an
update, and since then the lxd daemon doesn't seem to start for me:

Some pastes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23267034/

If I just run lxd from the command line "sudo lxd"

I can run lxc list but I get
$ lxc list
Permission denied, are you in the lxd group?

I am in the lxd group - however as I don't normally run lxd this way I'm
not sure if I would expect this to work anyway
