Bug Description

The unity-system-compositor fails to start in the Unity 8 LXC container due to not being able to find tty8. Looks like a change in the new LXC has affected this. Here is the relevant logs:

This bug was fixed in the package unity8-lxc - 1.0.3+15.04.20150305.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity8-lxc (1.0.3+15.04.20150305.1-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Bump version to 1.0.3.
  * Add an lxc-wait after lxc-start to make sure the container is
    actually running before proceeding to the lxc-attach. Also, have to
    add an additional half second sleep to account for an lxc race where
    lxc-wait reports the container is running when in reality, it may
    not be. (LP: #1425663)
  * Add config entry to automount sys to work around a new LXC behavior
    in 15.04 and later. (LP: #1420468)
  * Disable the new autodev feature in LXC as it only creates a minimal
    /dev in the container and we need a full /dev. (LP: #1425684)
  * Do not include the default lxc network config as using the
    'flags=up' from it confuses NetworkManager inside the container.
    (LP: #1427743)
  * Fix issue where zsync doesn't seem to handle cross linking across
    filesystems and also detect if the ISO did not download and throw an
    error. (LP: #1418671)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.
