[lxc-users] LXC auto start not working

[Shidan]

BTW, I'm trying this in ubuntu 14.04. This is my lxc-ls output after
running lxc-autostart as the user that owns the container:

NAME    STATE    IPV4  IPV6  AUTOSTART
--------------------------------------
test1  STOPPED  -     -     NO

So given that I put this:

lxc.start.auto = 1
lxc.start.delay = 5

In ~/.config/lxc/default.conf and I have rebooted the machine, is there
anything else I should be doing to get lxc-autostart working?
