Thanks!

For a more specific error message of what exactly failed to see what's the difference between your setup and mine, as here that works, but I saw another such report today, so there must be something amiss. And thanks to you providing the output so quickly is now pretty clear: the pve-container package needs to depend on the binutils package, which provides objdump, as that's used since the latest version to detect the systemd version inside the container and binutils seemingly isn't in the base package set (but it's pretty common to have it installed, so we did not catch this before uploading to pve-no-subscription).

To be sure, can you please try installing binutils package:

Code:
apt update
apt install binutils

Then retry the CT start.

Like a charm my good man ! :D thank you very much for that.
Is there any chance i get some help on bridge connections on the CT ? :D
 
FYI: The just uploaded pve-container package update version 4.3-5 will now pull in the binutils package correctly.

Well, this forum is luckily visited by a lot of helpful and experienced people, so there may be a chance they can help you too ;)

But I recommend opening a new forum thread for a new topic and mark this one as solved (set the Solved prefix using Edit Thread at the top right)
