Problem with creating containerized distro using distrobox [Solved]

[travis82]

Hi, I have a problem with creating Fedora container using distrobox. Please have a look:

Code: Select all

$ distrobox-create -i fedora:38
Image fedora:38 not found.
Do you want to pull the image now? [Y/n]: 
Error: command required for rootless mode with multiple IDs: exec: "newuidmap": executable file not found in $PATH

If I create container using "distrobox-create --root -i fedora:38" it creates the container without issue, however I don't want to have a container with root access. Whats your take on this?

PS: I use systemd as init system as podman doesn't work with SysVinit.

Thanks

Code: Select all

root@mxhp:/home/l0dr3# newuidmap
Command 'newuidmap' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install uidmap

?? so

sudo apt install uidmap

should solve the issue

[travis82]

sudo apt install uidmap

should solve the issue

l0dr3

That solved the issue. I wonder why this package hasn't been listed as podman dependency.

Thanks
