On a new installed Quartz64 with latest image i've tried to activate microk8s. It gives me :
- Command: snap install microk8s --classic
- Exit code: 1
- DietPi version: v8.11.2 (MichaIng/master) | HW_MODEL: 49 | HW_ARCH: 3 | DISTRO: 6
- Image creator: DietPi Core Team
- Pre-image: from scratch
- Error log:
error:
system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using
"squashfs": mount: /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-912337423: wrong fs type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper
program, or other error.

Steps to reproduce

1. use graphical installer for module microk8s

Expected behaviour

working

Actual behaviour

not working

Extra details

with dmesg i got some infos

11.379292] Filesystem uses "xz" compression. This is not supported

further analysis shows me that the kernel is not with CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ compiled
~$ cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > running.config
~$ cat running.config | grep _XZ
CONFIG_RD_XZ=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ is not set
# CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ is not set
CONFIG_XZ_DEC=y

Many thanks for reporting.

Indeed the kernel has not set this explicitly: https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/quartz64_ci/-/blob/main/quartz64_defconfig

Sadly Peter is not reacting to my merge requests to add further common features: https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/quartz64_ci/-/merge_requests

I'll try to generate the image with Debian's generic arm64 kernel in January.

FYI: #6151

MicroK8s works now with new kernel: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/
I'm during further fine tuning and testing before moving new images to stable builds.

The kernel itself can be upgraded as well with the matching firmware package from here: https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/

Will ship this upgrade with next DietPi update, after some more testing and probably little enhancements to the kernel config.
