From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm currently trying to run distrobox with podman. I'm getting the following error: Resolved "debian" as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/shortnames.conf) Trying to pull docker.io/library/debian:12... Getting image source signatures Copying blob 1b13d4e1a46e done

Does anyone know what should be my next steps to resolve this issue?

You skipped a step or two in your podman setup I think. Look up the rootless instructions, and make absolutely sure you have installed the right uid/gid packages for your distro.

I installed podman using apt. It should come with the neccisary packages correct?
