Rpm-ostreed.service: Failed with result 'exit-code', UniversalBlue

Ask Fedora

After another meltdown from my distro, I’m kicking the tires of UniversalBlue.
This is running in a VM on Pop!_OS.
Thanks for any assistance!

Edit: just created a vm with regular Silverblue and rpm-ostree works, so it is something specific to UBlue. Would still appreciate any advice, or if I need to ask elsewhere, please let me know that too. Thanks!

Not sure what information is pertinent.

What is that?
Why not just use Fedora’s OS directly? Like Silverblue.

It/they are based on Silverblue.

Please file an issue in our github repo, if we find a bug that’s fedora specific we can cross that bridge when we get there.

Ideally we’re not cluttering Fedora resources with custom image bug reports. :smile: Thanks!
