I tried to install Fedora 42 in distrobox (Fedora 42 Silverblue Host). When try upgrade do nothing or install apps (like BricsCAD) do not run the app. But Fedora 41 work good. How can I install Fedora 42 in distrobox?

I used:


distrobox create --name F41 --image fedora:41 --unshare-all --home ~/F41

distrobox create --name F42 --image fedora:41 --unshare-all --home ~/F42

edit: another question, how to create shortcut to load an app since distrobox with Fedora 41 guest? I tried Boxbuddy but BricsCAd do not run when try run since their launcher (Fedora 41)

Just as a simple observation, your distrobox command for fedora 42 appears to be pulling the fedora 41 image.

distrobox create --name F42 --image fedora:41 --unshare-all --home ~/F42

you’ll want to change that to --image fedora:42
