Struggling with distrobox
question
I have been playing around with distrobox and am stumped as to where the actual container is.
I created a Fedora 43 container using DistroShelf and named it "devbox"
I then used the terminal to enter it and install VS Code and Claude and exported VS Code to my bazzite applications launcher.
When I open DistroShelf it says there are no distroboxes found.
When I look in the application launch I can see Visual Studio Code (on devbox) which launches after entering my sudo password for the container.
I used "distrobox ps" and "distrobox ls" in terminal to find the container, but it returns no results.
I tried "distrobox rm devbox" and it says Error: no such container "devbox" and Cannot find container devbox.
Environment Variables: SUDO_ASKPASS=/home/regalen/.local/bin/distrobox_sudo_askpass 'DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM=sudo --askpass'
Program: /usr/bin/distrobox-enter
Command Line Arguments: --root -n devbox -- /usr/share/code/code %F
Where is the actual container?

Solution
Yes it was the priveleged container, I had to list the containers as root. I’ve removed and recreated them now and fixed it.
