Ubuntu 18.04 container doesn't work

Hi @alcir
Can i have the output of the podman logs? Probably something went wrong with the container initialization

Thanks!

[alcir]

Sure

Seems like the container bootstrapped correctly
I've tried it right now and it works indeed, seems like a problem with your PATH
Can you do

distrobox-enter --name ubuntu-18 --verbose

to check? It should not have this type of problem, as for now you can see in line 163 of distrobox-enter I ensure that the standard FHS path is present (/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin)

Let's see if the problem is there

distrobox-enter --name ubuntu-18 --verbose

Mmmh, I tried on another Fedora host, and there, with podman logs -f ubuntu-18 I simply get
exec container process (missing dynamic library?) /usr/bin/entrypoint: No such file or directory
But maybe this is a very messed up host.

Btw using another Fedora system, I get the same as before: Error: executable file bash not found in $PATH blah blah

Got it, can reproduce now
It's not adding the default /bin/ and /sbin/ paths to PATH correctly, hence it will not find bash in ubuntu-18
It doesn't work with your PATH, it works with my PATH, probably need to check in a better way while building up the PATH variable.

@alcir opened a new pull to fix this, can you check if the fix works?
It worked for me after I've reproduced your PATH

Works for me 👍

Cool! 🎉
