Distrobox/BoxBuddy database configuration mismatch
Admittedly, I was following the guide to dual-boot, and had to adjust a little bit in order to avoid some errors, so this could be my fault from there.

My comment under this video explains the "adjustment"

I tried following the tutorial found in the video below with BoxBuddy, but ran into the errors in the pictures. I tried typing "Y" and "n" but the terminal just quickly goes away.

It is my first time using distrobox so I wanted to ask before I went crazy lifting default permissions on BoxBuddy from Flatseal, trying to populate the location, or reinstalling.

i have the same issue and right before it closes it apparently says the same thing despite inputting y
which honestly i feel doesnt make sense but whatever
Do you also happen to be dual-booting or on Gnome? I guess I should also mention I'm on a Framework 13" AMD 7640u just to lay everything out for the thread. Glad to see I'm not crazy though. Reinstalling w/ KDE for the small chance that changes anything
yea im on gnome
got rid of my arch/windows dualboot yesterday if that counts
i also tried giving all file perms with flatseal and it didnt do anything for this issue
🤷 My theory was based on the manual install not quite aligning w/ the "config" somehow
I tried Flatseal as well. First time, so idk permissions are immediate or require app restart
im pretty sure theyre immediate
In that case, yeah, all file permissions did not work for me either
Did you do the advanced install or automatic? Both methods seemed to not work for me. KDE didn't improve. Using Ventoy or Fedora Media Writer didnt seem to impact.
yea i did automatic
just used dd on the usb then wiped ths drive in the insfaller and let it partition it
Ah, I see you put the bug on github
yea

bruh it fucking worked
😠ðŸ˜
damn smh, I should have just made that directory. I was anxious about it
"but you reinstalled w/out anxiety?!"
Shhhhhhhh, the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma to even myself
i didnt even know that couldve been it
ngl
I thought it should have been more as well bc it was failing to pull that image
i thought volumes was like a file and that u needed to copy it or something
tbh
YES, like their database was screwy... ðŸ˜
I think I checkmark this thread now?
looks like symlink problem, it got confused between /home and /var/home
Thank you for sharing the link, just saved me a lot of time
