Bug Description

I have unity 8 setup according to the blog entry of Micheal hall. I have installed libertine app and scope. However, i'm unable to create a libertine container to load x11 apps. The container starts, i have left the container name blank and tried with and without multi arch support. In either case, the creating container Xenial xerus starts spinning and abruptly disappers leaving a blank white page.

affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) → libertine (Ubuntu)
