Hi,

It could save my life if I get hold of :

Screenshot 2022-04-28 at 21.59.12
Screenshot 2022-04-28 at 21.59.12939×245 234 KB

The reason is that the new rootfs.tar.xz all give this error in proxmox:

Formatting ‘/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk-0.raw’, fmt=raw size=4294967296 preallocation=off

Hi,

Does anybody have this archive please?
https://uk.lxd.images.canonical.com/images/debian/bullseye/arm64/default/20211113_05:37/rootfs.tar.xz

It seems that rootfs.tar.xz is operational…
Best wishes,
Jimmy

I am experiencing the same issue. I’ve tried alpine and rocky images and these are fine. Just debian seems to be the problem.

The cloud version seems to work

Hi Radu,

I think that I got it to work with this one : Bullseye https://uk.lxd.images.canonical.com/images/debian/buster/arm64/default/20220503_06:11/rootfs.tar.xz

Cheers,

Hi Jimmy,

Unfortunately that image is no longer available on the server.

Hopefully this issue will be picked up and resolved soon.

Cheers.

I know it’s an old thread, but it was never solved and I had the same issue. Found this page and wanted to help anyone else who finds it.

I’ve just managed to get Debian 12 Bullseye working with the latest Cloud image on PiMox 7:
https://uk.lxd.images.canonical.com/images/debian/bookworm/arm64/cloud/20230614_05:24/rootfs.tar.xz

When configuring the CT, leave IP = Static. Do not enter any IP address.

Boot the CT, enter the CTs console.

Install Nano (who doesn’t need nano anyway! You can use vi/vim if you’re fancy, I’m not)
apt install nano

Edit the network configuration file
nano /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network

Change:

[Network]
DHCP=yes

to

[Network]
Address=192.168.1.101/24
Gateway=192.168.1.1

Restart Systemd Networkd
systemctl restart systemd-networkd

Check the static IP is set (you’ll probably also see the DHCP IP is still there)
ip -c a

Reboot
reboot now

You’ve now got the static IP set up (if you don’t reboot, it’ll still keep the DHCP assigned IP in addition to the static)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but how did you install nano if you have no network. Your method works to get the VM booting, but I do not have network access in the LXC.

Sorry, the notification email was in my junk folder!

for me, the container did have network access, it had the original IP it was given via DHCP.

Check the static IP is set (you’ll probably also see the DHCP IP is still there)
