Hi!
First post, kind of a noobie. I've been working with LXC and libvirt for a few months now. Trying to do some interesting things with containers and Android devices :D Here's my entire domain definition:
<domain type='lxc'> <name>oshi32134</name> <uuid>xxxxx</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>3145728</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>3145728</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='i686'>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/some/valid/filesystem/location'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/another/valid/filesystem/location'/> <target dir='/mnt/android'/> </filesystem> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source bridge='br1'/> </interface> <console type='pty'> <target type='lxc' port='0'/> </console> <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'> <source> <char>/dev/kvm</char> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x04e8'/> <product id='0x6860'/> </source> </hostdev> </devices> </domain>
Your config looks fine here.
Everything worked fine until I added the USB <hostdev> element. I'm essentially trying to get access to a physical Android device connected to the host from inside a container. When I go to start the container, I get an error about Operation not permitted. Here's the relevant bits from /var/log/libvirt/lxc/machine.log:

Do you have AppArmour enabled on the machine. That seems like the most likely thing that would result in libvirt getting that permission error.
