Hello @papanito it looks like you're using v0.12.0 which looks like too old

Is it possible to use a recent version of Podman Desktop v1.7.1 ? https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/releases/tag/v1.7.1

[papanito]

Yeah you are right, I checked the package version and it's version 0.12.0

[benoitf]

@papanito are you able to use https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/releases/download/v1.7.1/podman-desktop-1.7.1.tar.gz ?

unpack the .tgz and run the podman-desktop binary from there ?
