Facing Difficulties with Starting Containers

Hey everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’m struggling with starting my containers, and I’m hoping someone here can offer some guidance. Here’s the situation:

Whenever I try to launch a container, it either hangs indefinitely or fails with various error messages. When I was searching about this I came across these resources Not being able to start new containers servicenow tutorial and based on them I tried the following.

  • Checked my container configurations
  • Ensured all required services are running
  • Restarted my host machine

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I’m not sure what I’m missing.

Has anyone else encountered similar problems? Are there common pitfalls I should be aware of or specific logs I should check? Any advice, tips, or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best Regards,

Hi!
Have a look here, How to best ask questions on this discussion forum and specifically

  1. provide a description of your system (Linux distribution version, which Incus version is running, etc).
  2. show the actual error messages when you try to launch a container. You can also keep running (in a separate terminal window) the command incus monitor --pretty so that you can see in real-time any errors.
