Cannot create containers permission denied

[newbie2204]

Hi all, I am pretty new to proxmox and don't very knowledgable in linux. hence building my proxmox server to learn. Not sure what I may have done but I can't seemed to create an unpreviledge containers. Keep getting the below error. I can create VM and previledge containers.

If I run the lxc-usernsexec .... in shell I think that works ok but not in gui. any help would be much appreciated.

hi,

could you post the output from stat $(which tar) command?

the error

Permission denied - Failed to execute "tar"

seems to imply that the executable bit for the tar binary might be unset (not sure how that would happen though)

Thank you, I'll have a look at the tar permission once I replace the blown PSU... lol
