Issue body
This was the guide I followed:
https://docs.snapcraft.io/build-on-lxd/4157
After getting this error:
https://pastebin.com/RaXcfRFH
I was notified on the snappy IRC chat that running an lxd container wouldn't allow me to access the msr module. I'm using Linux Mint BTW that's why I tried the lxd guide.
