Description

### What is the issue?

After installing tailscale on the crostini linux VM in chromeos, it initially worked as expected. However after stopping the linux VM, I was no longer able to start it at all. Clicking on "penguin" in the chromeos terminal window causes a new tab to open and quickly close as there seems to be a crash on starting the Linux container.

The Linux container is still accessible via the following commands in the crosh (Chrome os native) terminal. However accessing it this way does not seem to allow running GUI apps.
`vmc start termina`
`lxc start penguin`
`lxc exec penguin bash'
At this point, `tailscale down` can be executed but does not fix the issue

### Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Linux container in chromeos
2. Install tailscale with the command `curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh`
3. Login to tailscale, which works as intended
4. Stop the Linux container with `sudo shutdown now` or a reboot of the machine
5. Attempt to restart the linux container from the chromeos 'terminal' app
