Do you have this problem if you use the download template?

interesting that it has to be unconfined.

if you tail -f /var/log/syslog and then start the container, does
the tail -f output show any DENIED messages?

Does the 'ubuntu' container start ok?

Are you able to lxc-attach -n tmp and look around?  what does 'ps -ef'
and 'ifconfig -a' show?
