Subsystem based on Ubuntu stack fails to launch with either exit code 1 or 255

[sid3425]

On a fresh installation of Vanilla OS 2, any apx subsystem created using the provided Ubuntu substack, which is based on the ubuntu:latest container image, fails to launch with either an exit code 255 or exit code 1 with the following error message:

ssaxena@apx-vso-pico:~$ apx Test enter
Starting container...                   	 [ OK ]
Installing basic packages...            	 Error: An error occurred
Error: An error occurred while entering the container: exit status 1
Usage:
  apx Test enter [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for enter

  ERROR   An error occurred while entering the container: exit status 1

Here, Test refers to the Ubuntu subsystem that I created. Resetting the subsystem and deletion does not seem to solve this issue. On the other hand using other stacks such as Fedora works normally, and I am able to install, update, run and remove packages without any issues.

I can't reproduce this.
Could you make sure you are on the latest version with: "apx -v", it should be "v2.4.3"

[sid3425]

apx -v shows version 2.4.3 which is the latest, I think either there is a bug with apx that may cause this by not installing packages correctly while setting up the image or an issue with the ubuntu:latest image itself

I can confirm this. I'm trying to setup a dev environment for my game project and I've created a special stack for that. I'm not sure if it just takes really really long or if it's actually crashing, because my other stack uses ubuntu:latest aswell, but works flawless.

I guess that there's something wrong with a package or something.

This is my stack config:

I'm using the same packages on my Steam Deck where I've installed an ubuntu distrobox btw.

ive tried to replicate this. I get a 255 error code despite the container starting. ive noticed that i do get a Error: OCI runtime error: crun: ptsname: Inappropriate ioctl for device error, but im not sure if thats related.

[jardon]

im wondering if youre getting the same error that I am. can you open a host-shell and give the output of:

/.system/usr/share/apx/distrobox/distrobox ls
/.system/usr/share/apx/distrobox/distrobox enter --name <name-of-subsystem>

Installing blender, mono and dotnet will take quite a lot of time.

Apart from that, I don't think vscodium is a official ubuntu package.

Can confirm, when i stop a container i am unable to start it up again. I get "Error OCI runtime error: crun: ptsname: Innapropriate ioctl for device
Error: An error occured while entering the container: exit status 255
