      I'm trying to add a third-party PPA to a Libertine container (24.04), but running into the error:

      Error: must run as root
      

      when I use libertine-container-manager -i noble -a add -n ppa:<...> . Using the Libertine settings UI fails silently (I assume the underlying error is the same).
      Going directly into a fakeroot shell doesn't work because of the nature of the container, I can't call add-apt-repository from inside it.

        The issue was me not having a screen lock passcode defined.

        Not sure if this is the best way to approach this, a settings page for editing user information (including name and root password) would be useful, that one could then opt out for the screenlock.
