multipass - beta update not working..

[stgabler]

Describe the bug Wanted to test the bridged feature with the new multipass version. Updated via snap and wanted to check multipass networks.. ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/sgabler/snap/multipass/12661/.config/autostart'

I should try: multipass authenticate but that was not installed

I should use: multipass set local.passphrase but was alos not working.. with or without sudo

To Reproduce sudo snap refresh multipass --beta

1. run multipass networks now you get the error can only be fixed with: cat ~/snap/multipass/current/data/multipass-client-certificate/multipass_cert.pem | sudo tee -a /var/snap/multipass/common/data/multipassd/authenticated-certs/multipass_client_certs.pem > /dev/null

Expected behavior What did you expect to happen? Update should work .. in case password for client must be set - please check it upfront

Tried the following: reverted to the latest table .. set the password and updated again..

-> same error now I deleted multipasss and installed the latest stable version again. -

Logs no logs after deletion available

Hi @stgabler Thanks for reporting this. It looks like there are a few things mixed.

First one is the snap refresh from stable channel to beta channel. Do you hit the error ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/sgabler/snap/multipass/12661/.config/autostart' deterministically? Meanwhile, I also can not reproduce it.

Second one:

run multipass networks now you get the error can only be fixed with: cat ~/snap/multipass/current/data/multipass-client-certificate/multipass_cert.pem | sudo tee -a /var/snap/multipass/common/data/multipassd/authenticated-certs/multipass_client_certs.pem > /dev/null

Is this a different error?

first one showed up after I called multipass networks and stayed.. 2nd problem: stays all the time- even after reverting - adding cred for client authentication and updating to beta

I do not think multipass networks is supported on libvirt backend, so you should get the networks failed: The networks feature is not implemented on this backend error message. Am I missing something here?
