What are you trying to do?
multipass launch 16.04behaves pretty much the same asmultipass launch lts, except that the former fails to complete, because the image is no longer supported.We decided a while ago to scope such images out of what Multipass is supposed to support. See #3443 and #1068 for reference. However, the UX is not great today. People keep trying this, seeing it fail in an ungraceful way, which must be disappointing.
What's your proposed solution?
I propose Multipass does one of 3 things:
--allow-unsupportedflag. We should then probably require this flag for any file-/URL-based launches.Since we want to allow file/URL based launches (allowing images that are not supported ubuntu releases) I think my preference would be option 2.
