Strange error message - maybe bug

1

I don’t understand why I get the error message below when trying to disable secure boot.

ian@cyllene:~$ incus init leda --empty --vm -c limits.cpu=8 -c limits.memory=7GiB -d root,size=130GiB security.secureboot=false
Error: --empty cannot be combined with an image name
ian@cyllene:~$ incus init leda --empty --vm -c limits.cpu=8 -c limits.memory=7GiB -d root,size=130GiB 
Creating leda
ian@cyllene:~$

Regards

Ian

You missed a -c in front of that security.secureboot=false so the parser assumed that you wanted an instance named security.secureboot=false created from a leda image, which isn’t a valid combination when --empty is passed.

Thanks Stéphane.
