I tried to use an Ubuntu 20.04 image with toolbox (image from here https://github.com/toolbx-images/images). Unfortunately, this image does not work (though other images, like the Ubuntu 22.04, do work).
I am able to create the toolbox without any problems, but I am unable to enter it (Error: invalid entry point PID of container ubuntu-toolbox-20.04).
$ toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/ubuntu-toolbox:20.04

I created an issue on github in the repository of the Ubuntu images https:/ /github. com/toolbx- images/ images/ issues/ 42 . However, the author of the repository suggested that this issue is probably not caused by the image itself, but by an bug in toolbox 0.0.99.2 . The issue should be fixed in 0.0.99.3 (https:/ /github. com/toolbx- images/ images/ issues/ 42#issuecomment -1285638958).
Would it be possible to update toolbox to 0.0.99.3 (which was released last December).
BTW, I think an similar error occurs when running the default image (somehow set to fedora-toolbox-33).
