I agree completely, but upstream isn't planning to change that in the near future (especially since this particular configuration is not only unsupported, but the Debian/Ubuntu package includes a 100% unapproved-by-upstream patch to make it even possible).
_Maybe_ today's Microsoft news will help upstream make the necessary changes to support different platforms with a better/smoother UX, but only time will tell. For now, this issue is definitely very firmly in the not-a-bug category (especially as far as the Ubuntu packaging is concerned). The argument could actually be made that the Debian/Ubuntu package should instead drop the unapproved patch that makes this particular configuration possible, but that's certainly not going to be a popular choice with the people currently using and enjoying it with their own home-grown images. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366509 Title: error message when running images of the wrong arch can be considered confusing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io/+bug/1366509/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
