[lxc-users] trying to create/install mate-desktop into unprivileged LXC container fails

[brian mullan]

I should mention that I installed LXD/LXC using the ppa:

*add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable*

I know I mentioned that I was using LXC v 0.27 in the question I asked
although *I know I actually* have LXD v0.27 and LXC is actually v
1.15.

However I just ran the following and that's what reported 0.27 (sorry for
any confusion)...  maybe the following command is wrong or its reporting
LXD's version instead of LXC's ??


*$ lxc --version0.27*
