When I run toolbox --verbose enter

it outputs:

My OS is Fedora 31 Workstation, with toolbox-0.0.17-1.fc31.noarch and podman-1.6.2-2.fc31.x86_64

Thanks in advance

Hi @sebelk, welcome to Fedora! Please go through the posts in #start-here if you’ve not had a chance to do so yet.

I tried to reproduce the error, but was not able to. I have the same versions of the tools too:

$ rpm -qa \*toolbox\* \*podman\*
podman-1.6.2-2.fc31.x86_64
podman-manpages-1.6.2-2.fc31.noarch
texlive-etoolbox-svn46602-6.fc31.noarch
toolbox-0.0.17-1.fc31.noarch

Maybe a toolbox reset would be worth a try? man toolbox-reset.

also I can’t reproduce too, enter in toolbox :

let’s try to see your journal if you can find any usesfull:

journalctl -S today | grep 'toolbox\|podman'

Regards.,

I’ve tried that and the error still remains

This is the output of that command:

any ideas?

maybe your container doesn’t initializing successful:

  1. try to prune or clean all your container.
podman prune -a
  1. check then if exist any images:
podman images
  1. then delete it:
podman rmi -f <IMAGE ID>
  1. re-enter again:
toolbox enter

Regards.,

I did it and No luck same error:

toolbox: invalid entry point PID of container fedora-toolbox-31

:frowning:

maybe a corrupt image, why don’t you rename the container storage folder to other like older.

  1. podman store their data in
podman info | grep VolumePath

for example mine is:

/home/hhlp/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes
  1. rename it
mv /home/$USER/.local/share/containers/ /home/$USER/.local/share/containers-old/
  1. toolbox enter again

NOTE: I’m out off ideas right now if this doesn’t work…

Also on a Fedora 31 workstation.

Thanks, in fact, I’ve tried with toolbox --very-verbose enter --release 32 and toolbox --very-verbose enter --release 30 and the error is the same one…

I’m not surprised. Neither of those options do anything different from the default behaviour.
