fix: add temporary workaround service for missing `/etc/hostname` f...

We've been getting lots of reports of distroboxes breaking due to not having /etc/hostname.
This unit that @p5 wrote just puts your hostname into there if that file doesnt exist yet.

MM2 All of my computers do not have /etc/hostname

tulip•4/28/25, 8:55 PM

do distroboxes not work there?

M2OP•4/28/25, 8:55 PM

Haven't had the issue

tulip•4/28/25, 8:55 PM

i have a

/etc/hostname

/etc/hostname

on my computer

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

we need this in the packages repo in the services package?

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

to cover aurora and LTS

Jj0rge we need this in the packages repo in the services package?

tulip•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

we dont use that package yet :(

Amy•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

my brother didn't have hostname and the distrobox doesn't work, that's so weird

tulip•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

just LTS does

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

is it easier to just put it there and switch bluefin?

M2OP•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

I have not /etc/hostname and distroboxes work

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

ok merging now since we need it, unless you think it's an easier lift to centralize and move now.

Jj0rge is it easier to just put it there and switch bluefin?

tulip•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

can maybe lead to some breakage but we can try doing that

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

let's go with this

j0rge•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

least touch

tulip•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

i think its best for the fuuuuture

Amy•4/28/25, 8:56 PM

okay happens on secureblue too

Amy•4/28/25, 8:57 PM

not sure what's going on that broke it

M2OP•4/28/25, 8:58 PM

Amy•4/28/25, 8:58 PM

I am kinda convinced it's a distrobox regression? not sure

AAmy okay happens on secureblue too 💀

tulip•4/28/25, 8:59 PM

that failure is clearly directly from podman

tulip•4/28/25, 8:59 PM

hm...

Ttulip that failure is clearly directly from podman

Amy•4/28/25, 8:59 PM

Amy•4/28/25, 8:59 PM

it's the same error as my brother's

Amy•4/28/25, 8:59 PM

creating hostname fixes it

tulip•4/28/25, 9:00 PM

AAmy oh

tulip•4/28/25, 9:00 PM

yeye but like its podman throwing that message

M2OP•4/28/25, 9:00 PM

it was last updated in january

Amy•4/28/25, 9:00 PM

mhm

M2OP•4/28/25, 9:01 PM

okay I have an idea

j0rge•4/28/25, 9:03 PM

The PR is merging so speak up.

j0rge•4/28/25, 9:03 PM

I think we'd need to carry this a while to catch stragglers, etc for a while

AAmy okay happens on secureblue too 💀

Amy•4/28/25, 9:04 PM

CC: @RoyalOughtness maybe it's worth adding a service file (see: the PR link above) to secureblue, idk

tulip•4/28/25, 9:04 PM

do you know why we have this on bluefin?

j0rge•4/28/25, 9:05 PM

anything in blame?

tulip•4/28/25, 9:07 PM

@M2 m2 shall be blamed for this

Amy•4/28/25, 9:07 PM

what does that mean-

https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pull/1251

Amy•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

Not sure if that'd be an issue tho, secureblue having this issue kinda suggest it is an upstream thing (or maybe it is a seperate issue with the same symptom

)

tulip•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

OH im sorry this isnt related to what we are talking about

AAmy Not sure if that'd be an issue tho, secureblue having this issue kinda suggest i...

tulip•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

man even centos got that issue

tulip•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

its definitely something upstream

Amy•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

oh I'm srry

tulip•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

maybe podman?

tulip•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

no idea.

AAmy oh I'm srry

tulip•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

M2OP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

Okay, I wonder if a version of distrobox volume mounted /etc/hostname

M2OP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

name of the offending distrobox replace fedora toolbox

Robert•4/28/25, 9:11 PM

The problem is only when a Distrobox was created when ~~os-release~~ hostname was present, then it was removed. Because the bind mounts no longer work

M2OP•4/28/25, 9:12 PM

podman inspect fedora-toolbox | jq -r 'any(.[].Config.CreateCommand.[]; contains("/etc/hostname"))'

podman inspect fedora-toolbox | jq -r 'any(.[].Config.CreateCommand.[]; contains("/etc/hostname"))'
