kind: Unable to create a cluster inside LXD container

What happened:

I have been following the instructions mentioned https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/ and I am unable to get the cluster created with kind. The process to kind create cluster fails at the level of Starting control-plane

What you expected to happen:

I expected the same outcome as described on https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

For the given environment below, i just ran the command kind create cluster --loglevel debug and then observed the following issues:

*** Preflight verification error: ***

[preflight] The system verification failed. Printing the output from the verification:

However, given that pre-flight errors are ignored during that stage, i assume that the above kernel version has not been deemed to be a problem. So, subsequent problems worth noting are:

[kubelet-check] It seems like the kubelet isn't running or healthy.
