[lxc-users] LXD newbie question

[Wajih Ahmed]

On Ubutu 15.04 i did the following as par the instructions from
linuxcontainers.org

apt-get update
apt-get install lxd

When i try to import an image

lxd-images import lxc ubuntu trusty amd64 --alias ubuntu

I get the following message

LXD isn't running!

So i think the instructions need to be updated to state that the
daemon has to be manually
started like the old times.

But after starting the daemon i am now getting the following error

Downloading the image:
https://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/default/20150523_03:49/lxd.tar.xz

    self.connect()
  File "/usr/bin/lxd-images", line 55, in connect
    sock.connect(self.path)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

And eventhough i below to the lxd group (and i did newgrp) i had to
repeat the above command with sudo and then
the permission error went away.

Can the page be updated with this info also please.  Let me know if
did something wrong.
