Could you please share your ubuntu.yaml
?
Is it only the Ubuntu VM image that fails to build? Have you tried building an Alpine Linux VM image?
Could you please share your
ubuntu.yaml
?
I use this to test stuff https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder/blob/main/doc/examples/ubuntu.yaml
Is it only the Ubuntu VM image that fails to build? Have you tried building an Alpine Linux VM image?
No I didn't, as I don't have a yaml file for that (at least for now)

I suggest you try this one instead https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci/blob/main/images/ubuntu.yaml. The yaml files in lxc-ci are actively maintained and therefore more up-to-date.

I am sorry for being ignorant, but how can I choose what to build. as both yamls just error out with wrong release. (I assume I have to choose which release to build but can't find anywhere, how to do that)
doh, right after posting this I found out how
so, alpine spits out a different error:
# distrobuilder build-incus --vm --debug alpine.yaml -o image.release=3.16

running the command with image.release=edge fixes the bug, and it successfully creates the vm image. so will test the alpine yaml a bit more
for some reason, now I get the same error as ubuntu with 3.16, and edge errors out with above error :(
yeah still the same error with ubuntu:
# distrobuilder build-incus --vm --debug ubuntu -o image.release=jammy

Looking at grub-install --help
, there's the option --skip-fs-probe
. You can try that, perhaps it'll fix the issue.

so this does work for alpine, but not ubuntu. which kinda weirds me out, as I thought the whole grub part is getting executed inside the vm, which would mean it shouldn't even come up as an issue (as it works on a 23.10 ubuntu vm.)
here is the part which is relevant:

This is not executed in a VM, but in a chroot. Is it perhaps your host that doesn't support secure boot or UEFI, and therefore grub's not happy?
@monstermunchkin the vm is setup with UEFI+SB with only MS keys. in the case of tumbleweed, I also enabled trusted boot
Hey, I want to use distrobuilder (git main) on openSUSE Tumbleweed and/or Fedora, and I get everything working (as I need to patch to use mkisofs in comparison to genisoimage (which is debian specific). with the exception of VM building. Even --debug doesn't really give me a good explanation why it doesn't work. Here is the output with the ubuntu.yaml file from the examples dir
Hope somebody can help me with this.
