Thanks for this Cody_Learner after testing with systemd-git package and not getting the issue. I believe this is due to the current systemd-liberated fork not having merged https://github.com/Jeffrey-Sardina/systemd/commit/e2227c8a207e7afbaa07cd796aac5728d423bf4a yet.

I hope to make a stable package for systemd-liberated once that fork starts putting out stable releases.

Appreciate the quick response zeakz!
Unfortunately, I continue to get the nspawn use related warnings Failed to unregister.... after rebuilding/installing the latest packages below.

I pressed 'ctrl + ]' keys 3 times to kill container.


Container testing terminated by signal KILL.

I'm getting an error about a timeout in the test process:

Thanks for reporting this! I was able to reproduce easily and found the fix was removing '-Dmode=developer'

This package is based off of the systemd-git aur package so the developer mode being enabled carried over from that.

I'm getting the following error when working with systemd-nspawn using my AUR helper https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch.
I updated my system today and rebuilt/installed systemd-liberated-git systemd-liberated-libs-git systemd-liberated-sysvcompat-git systemd-liberated-ukify-git.

 Failed to unregister machine in system context, ignoring: No such device or address

Verified switching back to the repo pkgs eliminates the error message.

Thank you for the package zeakz.
Builds and works well.
Keeping an eye on the situation as it progresses and trying things out.
As a 63yo, worried about being locked out of things for being a boomer or just too damn old... lol /s
Seems XDG is/was ready to use the BD field, but not sure now.

I believe this is normal behavior? If this isn't replicated on systemd-git then I can further look into it

test-copy: /var/tmp: fs-verity is not supported here, skipping tests: Inappropriate ioctl for device
