Ubuntu 16.04 can not be started (on Try Incus instance) #53

The error is correct, Ubuntu 16.04 containers require a system running CGroup1. Modern systems run CGroup2 and are therefore unable to run such old Linux distributions.

The Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and 23.10 images will disappear from our image servers over the coming days.
