Lab3.2 lxc - permission denied - apparmor error?

cherif.jazra

Hello,

I seem to be unable to start a new unpriviliged container with lxc

$ lxc-start -n unpriv-cont-user -F
lxc-start: unpriv-cont-user: ../src/lxc/lsm/apparmor.c: make_apparmor_namespace: 869 Permission denied - Error creating AppArmor namespace: /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/namespaces/lxc-unpriv-cont-user_<-home-cherif-.local-share-lxc>

lxc-start: unpriv-cont-user: ../src/lxc/tools/lxc_start.c: main: 311 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options

i'm doing this on ubuntu running from Apple M3 in UTM

$ cat /etc/os-release

and i created the container with lxc-create and options

Distribution: ubuntu
Release:  focal
Architecture: arm64

My lxc config file at ~/.config/lxc/default.conf has the following set

lxc.apparmor.profile = generated
lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1

interestingly, creating a privileged container as root does work, so with
sudo lxc-create --template download --name priv-cont, i'm able to then bring up the container and attach to it
