When I try to use the toolbox I get an error as follows:
[core@fcos ~]$ toolbox enter
Error: invalid entry point PID of container fedora-toolbox-38
When I use Podman to start and attach to the container I get this message:
Error: /etc/localtime points to unknown location
After some googling I realize the issue has to do with the fact the /etc/localtime does not exist by default on CoreOS and to fix it I can use timedatectl to set a localtime zone.
I wanted to ask if this could be fixed so that out of the box, toolbox works without bringing up an error.
I was able to start a toolbox container on a fresh FCOS system without /etc/localtime, so I don’t think that’s the issue:
$ cosa run --qemu-image fedora-coreos-38.20230722.3.0-qemu.x86_64.qcow2
Fedora CoreOS 38.20230722.3.0
