Thanks Colin for this bug report. I think I'll just do the revert, which means Incus/LXD will auto-detect whether there is a terminal attached or not. The change comes from this suggestion: https://github.com/canonical/lxd/issues/17797#issuecomment-4459954015 (I could reproduce what I describe in that bug report with Incus too.) I do not believe --force-noninteractive made a noticeable difference; on the contrary this change did: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/commit/4d7c979c9ea35cc37 Cheers, Paride
