How to solve?? thank you!
i installed sintularity with conda . conda install -c conda-forge singularity .
That's an unprivileged installation so it requires unprivileged user namespaces to be enabled in the Linux kernel. That's not available on very old kernels, and other kernels (for example those based on RHEL7) require a non-default configuration option to be set.
By the way, this would be a more appropriate question on the main repository https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer or on the mailing list or slack than on this documentation repository.
i have installed it with root.
But it still doesn't work.
An Ubuntu subsystem was installed in the Windows 10 system for testing.
I guess the Windows System for Linux is not a complete enough emulation for Linux for this. Somebody else ran into a different issue trying to use conda with singularity recently there, in apptainer/singularity#6340.
Closing, as there's not likely anything that can be done about this and in any case this the wrong place to discuss it.
@DrDaveD thank you very much! Wls1 for windows linux subsystem needs to be upgraded to WSL2. i have solved it.
