OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64

I know I've seen this issue crop up before however I don't know how it
has been fixed and the solution may vary.

I'm using a standard Centos template created using the download type.
It is running in unprivileged mode and for some reason lxc-console
isn't producing any output when I attempt to connect to it.

Here is what I get:
shinji at icarus:~$ sudo lxc-console -n gateone

Connected to tty 1
Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console, <Ctrl+a Ctrl+a> to enter Ctrl+a itself

That is literally it.  I do see mingetty running when I check so I'm
not sure why it isn't giving me any output.

Any help is appreciated.  At the moment however I can ssh and lxc-attach fine.
