How to start an unprivileged LXC container? (Lab 3.2)

I get the following error:

student@ubuntu:~$ lxc-start -n unpriv-cont-user -F
systemd 245.4-4ubuntu3.24 running in system mode. (+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN +PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid)
Detected virtualization lxc.
Detected architecture x86-64.

Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS!

Set hostname to .
Failed to create /init.scope control group: Permission denied
Failed to allocate manager object: Permission denied
[!!!!!!] Failed to allocate manager object.
Exiting PID 1...

The host is a cloud VM, it was created like in the first chapter it was detailed.
What do I missing? Why is it not starting the container?

    Nevermind...get back to it next day and it is working.
    I checked the previous steps if I missed to create anything but nothing missed. The only difference was just that for the setfacl command today I get a lot of "Operation not permitted" lines. Other than that everything was in place.
    The container is running, I continue the lab.
