[v1] Ubuntu default container asks for inexistant password

[taukakao]

When using the ubuntu container in apx version 1, it will ask for the password of user "ubuntu".
This prevents the user from installing anything using this container.

Possibly related to the "Installing basic packages" step failing when creating the container.

same problem here, how does vanilla install ubuntu packages? is it with podman?

[taukakao]

apx uses distrobox which uses podman in the case of vanilla, yeah.

Same problem here too. Does anyone know that password?

[taukakao]

The ubuntu user cannot be logged into. It doesn't have a password.
The container is currently not usable. You have to use a different container, for example fedora with "apx --dnf"

When will this problem be fixed?

I have the same problem too.

I found a temporary solution to this issue.

1. Open Vanilla Os Control Center
2. Click on the "Sub System" tab.
3. type su this will log you into the container as root.
4. type passwd ubuntu and enter the password you want for the ubuntu user.
5. you'll next need to edit the sudoers file, so type apt-get install nano (or vi if you prefer)
6. type nano /etc/sudoers below this line:

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

add this:
ubuntu ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
7. Save the file, and close the container.
8. Test the results, it should work.
