[lxc-users] Screen corruption when starting Ubuntu container

[Torste Aikio]

Hello,

I'm trying out LXC containers on my desktop computer running Arch Linux.
When I start a container with Ubuntu my screen flashes black and in some
blinking artifacts appear to left-top corner which persist even after I
stop the container (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/XgZE6uz.png ). I think
this might have something to do with the Ubuntu system trying to take over
VTs or something along those lines, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to
debug this further. Could someone help me prevent this from happening? Here
is the console output of lxc-start, some bluetooth related noise filtered
away:

I'm starting to single-user mode (DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=1 in
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf) to minimize moving parts, the same happens with
the default runlevel (2/multi-user).
