My Podman Desktop keeps on hanging #6737

Bug description

When I ran podman desktop, it just hangs and sits in the system tray.

image

With the status of "Podman Desktop is iniitialized", After an hour or longer them window would show up but it is now hanging and not responding.

When I go to the Process Explorer, I see 4-5 process and one of them have elevated admin level process which I cannot stop. It seems to be spawned by other podman desktop process because if I stop the other the spawed also stops.

As you can see, Those with icon seems to be ones spawned with admin rights.

Now my work environment is restricted, so what I did was ask for temp admin rights and with that desktop shows up properly. I cannot keep on asking temp password daily so, Any ideas?

Already tried out the airgap installer but I think it is not it.

Some update on above found out that the Podman being stucked in the system tray may be related to the podman runtime being installed with administrator priviledge. But it is weird it used to work before, trying to check all release notes of podman container and cannot see any change when the podman suddenly required an admin rights.

My provider is still wsl, so what changed.

So if I ran the podman desktop with elevated admin rights, it can run the desktop properly. Any idea like a setting to avoid the admin rights elevation on installing podman or if there is a release notes where it is said that the admin rights is now required.

@napoleontan Hey, it is not usual that you need admin right for creating podman machine using wsl. I have never needed it, do you have by any change the machine under some restriction? Like CSB (corporate standard build) or something explaining this behavior?
