Yes, they are.  It's a standard Debian kernel (currently
linux-image-5.17.0-1-amd64 5.17.3-1).  I'm not aware of doing any
customisations that might have caused problems :(

/etc/lxc/default.conf is unmodified:

lxc.net.0.type = veth
lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0
lxc.net.0.flags = up

lxc.apparmor.profile = generated
lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1


and when I created a trial container, I get
/var/lib/lxc/debian-unstable-trial/config:

# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian
# Parameters passed to the template: -r unstable
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.container.conf(5)

# Uncomment the following line to support nesting containers:
#lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/nesting.conf
# (Be aware this has security implications)

lxc.net.0.type = veth
lxc.net.0.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:78:11:12
lxc.net.0.link = lxcbr0
lxc.net.0.flags = up
lxc.apparmor.profile = generated
lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1
lxc.rootfs.path = dir:/var/lib/lxc/debian-unstable-trial/rootfs

# Common configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/debian.common.conf

# Container specific configuration
lxc.tty.max = 4
lxc.uts.name = debian-unstable-trial
lxc.arch = amd64
lxc.pty.max = 1024


I've no idea if that is of any help.

Thanks!
