$ lxc launch ubuntu:18.10
Creating the container
Container name is: talented-deer
Starting talented-deer
$ lxc launch fedora:30
Error: The remote "fedora" doesn't exist

Didn't work for fedora, because ubuntu: is lxc remote.

$ lxc remote list -q

It can be fixed by usinh images: remote for all OS.

$ lxc launch images:ubuntu/18.10
Creating the container
``

Now container starts successfully, and then the scripts fails with the below error.

✗ bin/lxd-runin.sh 
Creating container 'linux' (fedora/30)

@abitrolly looks like you're running lxc from a snap. It really looks like https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/3660 which has been fixed. Can you tell your lxc version?

[abitrolly]

✗ lxc version
Client version: 3.16
Server version: 3.16

I forgot that I am using remote LXD server to run containers. It probably can not add local disk device to remote host.

✗ lxc remote list

Well, I am not sure that's LXD is capable to do anything on client side. After all, it is just a Go API over standard Linux containers, and magic happens on containers host. Therefore, yes - device add won't work from your remove Fedora.
