The image of Ubuntu 20.04 does not work for me. Ubuntu 22.04 works fine.

I've just tried that and it worked for me on Fedora 36. What's your host toolbox version and host distribution?

nsmlzl commented

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and installed toolbox v0.0.99.2 from the Ubuntu package registry.

travier commented

Can you try in a fresh virtual machine to rule out anything in your local setup?

nsmlzl commented

I was able to reproduce this in a vm (freshly created with ubuntu-22.04.1 iso). I updated all packages before installing / running toolbox.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install podman-toolbox
$ toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/ubuntu-toolbox:20.04

Can you give us the output of podman start --attach --interactive ubnutu-toolbox-20.04 ?

nsmlzl commented

I ran this on the vm:

$ podman start --attach --interactive ubuntu-toolbox-20.04
toolbox: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by toolbox)
travier commented

This is likely containers/toolbox#871 and should be fixed by containers/toolbox#897 which is in 0.99.3. Please ask your distribution to ship that.

jaques-sam commented

It seems it's not solved on 20.04 and also not on 22.04 :-(

travier commented

Please open a new issue with more details

@andrewshadura @Jmennius could these two commits be added to the Ubuntu packages:

andrewshadura commented

I will upload a new toolbox version to Debian unstable and will try to backport those patches to stable too, but I don’t have direct upload access to Ubuntu, so that will require a lot more of effort.

andrewshadura commented

Oh, in fact, Debian’s not affected.

andrewshadura commented

Prepared an update for Jammy: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/podman-toolbox/-/commits/ubuntu/jammy
It FTBFS in GitLab CI as it builds against Debian unstable. It built fine in actual jammy.

andrewshadura commented

@debarshiray, as @panlinux points out in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-containers-toolbox/+bug/1993888/comments/5, these two commits do not appear to be enough. Could you please double check if there’s anything else that might be missing?

debarshiray commented

Thanks for working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-containers-toolbox/+bug/1993888 @andrewshadura ! I was away on vacation from the 14th of July until today, and I will be away for GUADEC starting from tomorrow till the 31st of July.

Do you know the exact error? Otherwise I will debug it myself using a bunch of Ubuntu virtual machines once I am back.

The root problem is described in containers/toolbox@6063eb2 , and if you follow the references you will find containers/toolbox@6ad9c63 as a previous attempt at fixing the same problem. I also wrote a blog post describing the issue.

In short, we are using the same toolbox(1) binary from the host inside the container. This can run into ABI compatibility issues if the host's toolbox(1) was built against a newer runtime than what's available inside the container, because the runtimes are only backwards, not forward, compatible. Very often it's caused by a newer glibc on the host compared to the container. So, we ensure that the host's runtime is also present inside the container and force the toolbox(1) binary to always use it.

This is done through /run/host. On the host, it's a relative symbolic link to ../ created by systemd-tmpfiles(8) and inside the container it's a bind mount created through podman create --volume /:/run/host:rslave ....

That's the overall idea.
