I installed LXD not using snap mainly due to the fact that I do not wish to have snapd on my system which I was aable to do just fine and after I did run the sudo lxd init and answered all the questions no problems but when I found an image that I wanted to use finally I used sudo lxc launch [image name] [container name=u1] which produced the following error: “Error: Failed instance creation: Failed creating instance record: Failed initialising instance: Failed getting root disk: No root device could be found”. I did a bit of research on this and found that I needed to add the root device to the default profile which finally allowed me to do so but only after switching over to the root user account even though I was using the sudo prefix with the admin user account. Once I added the root device to the default profile I then tried to run the lxc launch command again still as the root user and recieved this error: “Error: Failed instance creation: Failed creating instance record: Failed initialising instance: Failed loading storage pool: Storage pool not found”. I then still as the root user ran the lxd init command and again answered all of the questions all with the exact same answers as before and the run the lxc launch command again as the root user still and finally got the following error message:
“Error: Failed to run: /usr/bin/lxd forkstart u1 /var/lib/lxd/containers /var/log/lxd/u1/lxc.conf: exit status 1
Try lxc info --show-log local:u1 for more info”. I cat that log file out and find the following contents: " lxc.log.file = /var/log/lxd/u1/lxc.log
