Failed invoking the NEWUSER namespace runtime: Invalid argument

[smoe]

Dear @vsoch,

I installed singularity with conda and thought to follow the example deployment from https://github.com/singularityhub/singularityhub.github.io/wiki/Deploy

Link to Container Collection Log, Build, or Collection (in that order)

$ singularity run shub://vsoch/hello-world
Progress |===================================| 100.0%
ERROR : Failed invoking the NEWUSER namespace runtime: Invalid argument
ABORT : Retval = 255
$ singularity --version
2.4.2-dist

Behavior when Building Locally

Error on Singularity Hub

What do you think is going on?

Could it be a Python version thingy? It is 2.7 over that comes with conda.

Best,

Steffen

If you are running this on your local machine then you should open the issue here https://www.github.com/singularityware/singularity/issues as it's an issue with Singularity (runtime) and not Singularity Hub. Thank you!

Thank you, @vsoch. Over at singularity I found this closed issue apptainer/singularity#415 which basically says that I need to contact our system adminsitrator for the likely need of a system-wide installation as root.

Awesome! Yeah it seems to be different at every place. When you've installed and used singularity once... you've installed and used singularity once, haha :)
