Issue with distobox after latest update of kalpadesktop

Hello folks, after the latest auto update of kalpadesktop I’ve been unable to use distrobox as I was previously able to. The only transactional-update that I triggered manually was when installing the nvidia drivers (no issue after that).
This started happening today, I can rollback to a state where distrobox works, but after the update it gives the same error.

ugo@kalpa:~> distrobox-ephemeral
Creating ‘distrobox-XHkBlj38sp’ using image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest Error: /boot:/run/host/boot:ro:rslave: incorrect volume format, should be [host-dir:]ctr-dir[:option]

Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks :slight_smile:

No clue, it works fine here, are you seeing any selinux errors?

Thanks for answering, how can I check for that?

Try to run distrobox while in permissive selinux mode, that’ll be the easiest way to check if selinux is at fault:

sudo setenforce 0

That will set it to permissive until the next reboot or simply run:

sudo setenforce 1

to put it back into enforcing.

I tried turning off selinux and got the same result same result :confused:

Here’s a paste of the output of distrobox-ephemeral --versobse if it helps with debug: https://pastebin.com/LkyCM9Tk

Looks like a bug in distrobox 1.8.2.5

I’m having the same problem on a fresh install of Kalpa. Hopefully once Distrobox gets fixed it will resolve the issue.
