After distro hopping, containers are a little hosed “ ERRO[0000] OCI Runtime crun is in use by a container, but is not available (not in configuration file or not installed)”

I’ve been looking for a reliable distro for data science, and after distro hopping, containers are a little hosed after I installed microos.
My /home is on a separate drive. On my root drives I’ve tried silverblue, universal blue, fedora, Debian, etc.
I’m trying MicroOS now, and the container setup seems a bit different than the other distros. The first error was about netavark being missing. I fixed this by specifying “cni” in the network section of a $HOME/.config/containers/containers.conf file I created.

Here’s the interaction and the next error. I haven’t found anything useful by googling.

(base) [john@microos Downloads]$ distrobox enter ubuntu
ERRO[0000] OCI Runtime crun is in use by a container, but is not available (not in configuration file or not installed)
Container ubuntu is not running.
Starting container ubuntu run this command to follow along:

podman logs -fubuntu

ERRO [0000] OCI Runtime crun is in use by a container, , but is not available (not in configuration file or not installed)
Error: unable to start container "92d3ef628acala77c17430e0e699 0f714594b90d333ebcfdo12e1f423825a"; failed to get attach socket path for container 92 defa628acala7e7c17430e0e6990f71459490d333ebcf0121423825a: runtime crun is missing: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

Thanks for any suggestions!

@JohnAtl Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:

So is crun installed on the host? transactional-update pkg install crun

Thanks!

This seems to have taken care of it.
My old container wouldn’t run, but I just trashed it and am creating a new one.
So far so good.

Thanks!
