I am a longtime dabbler in Linux as a very casual / intermediate user and have recently been attempting to set up a key remapper for my razer orbweaver keypad on the steam deck.
I previously had accomplished this by turning off read-only mode and installing pacaur package manager. I learned about distrobox here and have installed it using the instructions listed in this article but am running into the following issue when entering my ubuntu container:
I am hoping someone here with deeper understanding can help me figure out what's going on, I've added the line
xhost +si:localuser:$USERto my .bashrc, and it doesn't seem to be working.([email protected] ~)$ distrobox enter ubuntu-22-10
Container ubuntu-22-10 is not running.
Starting container ubuntu-22-10
run this command to follow along:
podman logs -f ubuntu-22-10
