From what you describe it looks like there is no GUI installed in the container, only command line.

Edit1:
In your host under /home/.lxc/<container_name>/opt/bin there should be some files:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      13318156 Jul 28 16:46 Xwayland
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            27 Jul 28 16:23 kill_xwayland.sh -> /mnt/guest/kill_xwayland.sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            27 Jul 28 16:23 setup_desktop.sh -> /mnt/guest/setup_desktop.sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            27 Jul 28 16:23 start_desktop.sh -> /mnt/guest/start_desktop.sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            27 Jul 28 16:23 start_onboard.sh -> /mnt/guest/start_onboard.sh

Edit2:
What was the problem? I guess you haven't installed the gui in your desktop distro.
