In the first part of the screenshot you’re using the “ubuntu:” remote.
But in the second part of the screenshot (when you try to launch an image) you’re using the “images:” remote.
They are different remotes. The first is the Canonical-managed repository of Ubuntu images; the second is the community repository of various OS images (maintained by linuxcontainers.org)
The community repository has withdrawn access to lxd users. For the full story see:
and some history:
Your options are either:
- Use the Canonical image repository. That is, use
lxc launch ubuntu:focal u1 - Migrate from lxd to incus. incus is the forked community version of lxd.
