Lab 3.2 Unable to start container.
Lab 3.2. I'm using the LF pre-built Ubuntu 18.04 on VMware Workstation 15 Player.
Everthing seems to work fine until I try to start the container. I'm afraid the error messages don't mean much to me. Any guidance here would be appreciated. Thanks. ldt

Hi @ldt,
It is common to see different results when using different Linux distributions or even different images of the same distribution. The LF pre-built and maintained images are aimed mostly at development courses, and have not been tested against the content of this course.
What I notice to be slightly off are the UID and GID mappings from
/etc/subuidand/etc/subgidwhich show for thestudentuser values typically associated withroot.Can you display the content of both
/etc/subuidand/etc/subgidfiles?Regards,

Hi @chrispokorni
Yes, those are shown in the top lines 1-4. But I have just verified them again. I did notice that the result is considerably different from what is shown in the lab. I'm missing the lxd:, root: and ubuntu: entries. I tried proceeding with the privileged container but got the same result. Lab 3.3 however, worked fine.0 -
I believe a different Ubuntu distribution/release will show different outputs, and this has already been reported earlier in the forum.
