I am getting a seemingly erratic error when launching a container. Sometimes the launch works and most of the times it does not.
$ lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 --profile default --profile x11 mycontainer
Creating mycontainer
Starting mycontainer
Error: Error occurred when starting proxy device: Error: Failed to listen on /home/ubuntu/pulse-native: listen unix /home/ubuntu/pulse-native: bind: no such file or directory
Try `lxc info --show-log local:mycontainer` for more info

By the way, I believe, this log does not show anything relevant for this problem. When I launch a container with the default profile, I get the same errors.
Could this be due to a problem on the host? How can I troubleshoot this?
