No Ubuntu 24.04 devel image for Multipass on Windows & macOS #3450

Closed cppservergit closed 3 months ago

cppservergit commented 3 months ago

What are you trying to do? I want to create a VM using devel image, Ubuntu 24.04 on Windows 10 Pro w/Hyper-V I am using latest multipass for Windows 10/11 Pro: 

multipass   1.13.1+win
multipassd  1.13.1+win

I can see this image when using multipass find on Ubuntu 22.04, but it is not listed when using Multipass on Windows.

What's your proposed solution? To provide the same images available for Multipass on Linux

Additional context The is the list of images available for multipass 1.13.1 on Windows:

Hi @cppservergit!

Thank you for the enhancement request. The decision to not allow the devel image on both Windows and macOS is a corporate decision. I tried to bring this up with upper management a few months ago and was struck down. I won't won't get into all of the details as to why, but just understand that I did try. That said, I will leave this open in hopes that maybe it can get some more attention and change some minds :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for such an honest reply, it made me scratch my head wondering why? I suspect the devel image may not be stable enough to run on hyper-v, because being Canonical so cooperative with Microsoft, that's the only reason I can imagine. In any case, it's only a matter of a few weeks before the next LTS release.

Hi, 24.04 has been released now :) Is there any chance the image could be made available to multipass launch on macOS?

townsend2010 commented 2 months ago

Hi @colinmarc!

Yes, it will be enabled in the upcoming 1.14 release. Thanks!

Will this include pre-release versions of Ubuntu like 24.10, ideally with Multipass on Windows too ?!

Unfortunately, only on Linux. Windows and macOS are a no go for reasons I pointed out at https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/3450#issuecomment-2023277984. Not my decision...
