[Bug]: Difficulty creating a Distrobox from the UI.

[michaelkornblum]

Describe the bug

I tried installing a distrobox from the main UI, however when it tries to pull the image and create the instance, no progress seems to occur. In contrast, the application lists and manages distroboxes that were already created via command line run flawlessly. For example, I created a Distrobox via command line, using this command:

distrobox create --image fedora:37 --name fedora

and I have a fully functional Fedora distrobox, which shows up in Atoms. However, if I try to create the same distrobox from Atoms, I am unable to even enter the name of the image in Atom's text field to pull the correct image.

Now here's the weird part. when I ran the Atom flatpak from the command line, I received a prompt, not in the UI but from the command-line itself, asking if I wanted to pull the fedora 37 image. After confirming in the terminal that I wanted to pull the image, the image downloaded and the distrobox was created flawlessly.

To Reproduce

1. Open Atoms from Desktop
2. Create new Atom
3. Name it Ubuntu-Impish
4. Select Distrobox Container
5. Choose Image ubuntu:20.04
6. Wait, wait and wait.

Same experience with Flatpak and Linuxmint

Re-try starting Atoms via terminal and give me the output please.

flatpak run pm.mirko.Atoms

[tinfoil-hat-net]

flatpak run pm.mirko.Atoms

The issue there is that uk.lxd.images.canonical.com is not loading for some reason, I should handle that exception
