Upgraded SB 32 to SB 33, old toolboxes don't start

Project Discussion

Upgraded 32 to 33 using software center.

None of my previously created toolboxes are able to start with toolbox enter; they all return Error: failed to start container fedora-toolbox-32

podman start --attach fedora-toolbox-32 returns setrlimit RLIMIT_NPROC: Operation not permitted: OCI runtime permission denied error

Containers were mostly created around June/July, I don’t think I can tell what version of toolbox/podman was in use.

Newly created toolboxes work fine

Is it safe to conclude that this is "Error: failed to start container fedora-toolbox-32" on Fedora Silverblue · Issue #500 · containers/toolbox · GitHub, and I should just ditch the old toolboxes?

update: managed to work around by:

  • Rolling back to f32
  • committing the containers to new images
  • rolling forward again
  • creating new toolboxes from the saved containers

i.e. this procedure, without the tar step: Backup and restore Toolboxes - Fedora Magazine

Will leave this here in case anyone else (like me) comes searching.

New year’s resolution is to maintain scripts for these toolboxes, rather than relying on the above procedure.
