Change has been confirmed with the launchpad team as well. They followed the manual steps above, with a little bit of extra work for containers. for testing a container: 1. download the $ROOTFS.tar.gz 2. untar 3. cd chroot-autobuild 4. tar (thus making the root _not_ chroot-autobuild) 5. image import is the same as above. everything worked for them as well. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-noble verification-needed-oracular ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-noble verification-done-oracular -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083240 Title: buildd system user lacks homedir leading to issues with snaps[and more] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2083240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
