Problems with tuxrun on Fedora

I'm trying to run FVP through tuxrun (pip3 installed) on Fedora 42 and there are problems:

Other trial run with just tuxmake:

$ tuxrun --runtime podman --device fvp-aemva --boot-args "rw" --kernel ~/.cache/tuxmake/builds/24/Image.gz --rootfs https://storage.tuxboot.com/debian/trixie/arm64/rootfs.ext4.xz --modules ~/.cache/tuxmake/builds/24/modules.tar.xz /usr/ --save-outputs --log-file -

It's a bit hard to pin down the actual problems because it tends to change, best way to replicate is probably to just try and use the pip3 version on Fedora 42 and see what happens.

@linusw I was able to reproduce the first issue :
Permission denied 2025-09-08T22:34:30 JobError: Your job cannot terminate cleanly. 2025-09-08T22:34:30 {'definition': 'lava', 'case': 'job', 'result': 'fail', 'error_msg': 'Invalid job data: ["Image file '/home/linus/.cache/tuxrun/assets/https___storage.tuxboot.com_debian_trixie_arm64_rootfs.ext4.xz' does not exist or is not readable"]\n', 'error_type': 'Job'}

This is happening due to Security-Enhanced Linux Policy/rule on fedora. I was able to get past this issue with these commands but later got stuck with different container issue.

• sudo chcon -Rt container_file_t /tmp/
• sudo chcon -Rt container_file_t ~/.cache/tuxrun/assets/

I am assuming that the second issue is also related to SELinux policy, Can you please add the container related processes into permissive mode with the command: sudo semanage permissive -a container_t and let us know if you still encounter any issues ?
