Just trying out distrobox on F38. I have 2 issues. One is it won't run a container without root. The other is I don't think it's actually working at all.
distrobox enter ubuntu-20 Container ubuntu-20 is not running. Starting container ubuntu-20 run this command to follow along:
podman logs -f ubuntu-20
Error: OCI runtime error: unable to start container "46a0c000c02583c2d4c4fb1e329de7a0f1daddc1d4bc812e7d0e409a2a353a8b": crun: error `creating` systemd unit `libpod- 46a0c000c02583c2d4c4fb1e329de7a0f1daddc1d4bc812e7d0e409a2a353a8b.scop e`: got `failed`
Works for me without root (and I've never used distrobox until now)
Now try with --root [nbecker@ubuntu-20 ~]$ apt-get bash: apt-get: command not found
OK, is this really a container running ubuntu? Doesn't seem to be, there's no apt-get.
Yep, no apt-get in the default config, but I think you need to add an additional_packages line in the manifest. That's what the man page seems to suggest.
