Need Help setting a different home directory using distrobox
I have created a folder in home named distro with 1000:1000 perms but it fails to start
Error: unable to start container "88a57a0d55907dd3a39138a9ca414243b779f14ffa18cddb76e5bc7eb741469f": crun: cannot stat

what is your creation command?
For distrobox or folder?
For distrobox I am using boxbuddy GUI
Here is the folder
Whitelist the folder in flatseal for boxbuddy
That path isn't real
What do you mean that path isnt real? Does that mean I have to manually type the path instead of selecting on the GUI?
Not if you whitelist that folder in flatseal for boxbuddy
Ok ill try that, thank you for your time!
Ok so I fixed it but want to understand something
Why was it doing that weird path instead of the /var one that works?
also I deleted the run user after this screenshot
Wrong path
this is what I got
you made a folder for
/home/Distrobox?Then you have to give that folder ownership to your user
Better to just do
I would put that inside
/home/USER/ instead/var/home/youruser/distrobox
i.e.,
/home/USER/DistroboxYea well I forgot to say that /var/home/Distrobox was the solution so Im good just confused why the gui outputs that weird path.
Also I wanted to completely separate it from my home
because you're outside of the permissible folders
Ah
So its like a error
Because it's a flatpak and that folder is not whitelisted by default
No it's functioning as intended
The error is your choice of folder
BoxBuddy's permissions are set to
/home/youruser. This means that /home/otheruser is outside of itAlright maybe Ill move it back if you think that will cause problems down the line. Thanks for the help with all of this.
Thank you as well!
