The configuration in that file is 

  lxc.include = /etc/lxc/default.conf
  lxc.idmap = u 0 100000 65536
  lxc.idmap = g 0 100000 65536
  lxc.mount.auto = proc:mixed sys:ro cgroup:mixed
  lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined

and goes to ~/.config/lxc/default.conf

You removed at least the lxc.include statement, and actually tried
something of your own, in particular not creating a default config for
your user and a container afterwards.

Which is not acceptable for an *unprivileged* container, which is the
case you brought here. The reason why Apparmor intervenes instead of
letting either init crash upon startup (because not being able to
manipulate the filesystem) or things explode is because
lxc.apparmor.profile doesn't apply to lxc-start call, but to only to the
lxc child process.

Creation is necessary as you need a valid rootfs to work, and a valid
rootfs for an unprivileged container has to fit the usernamespace which
will be created upon startup of the container. "/" is not a valid rootfs
for an unprivileged container as the uid mappings are totally out of
line. You therefore need to at least create one container using
lxc-create or manually create a rootfs using mmdebstrap or whatever fits
best.

You pasted truncated logs, and actually did not follow the README.

Being one of the LXC maintainers, I'm totally entitled to triage your
bug report, especially since what you claim being a bug does not look
like one. I won't reply to your assumption about my expertise.

Please follow the README properly and if that fails please come back
with full logs.

With best regards,
