I’ve described a workaround here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/selinux-warning-when-running-lxc/11100/11 TLDR: install selinux-policy-default, set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config and reboot the system.

I’m running Ubuntu 18.04, so I’ve tested with the latest 5.0.9 kernel (still the same warning). To workaround I’ve updated /etc/default/grub and added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="selinux=0" and regenerated the grub config with sudo update-grub and rebooted: warning gone.
