This is the first time I am attempting to run this on my linux laptop -- are these critical errors?

Hi @saket424
Thanks for opening the issue. Would you also give an example of how you start the container (the command line)? Information on what OS version you use on your laptop will also be helpful.

Hi @roman-mazur

I saw the above output when i started the container in this manner
anand@Alienware15:~/balena-stuff/balenaos-in-container$ ./balenaos-in-container.sh --image resin/resinos:2.48.0_rev3.dev-intel-nuc --id devalien15 -c conf/FirstNUCapp.config.json

I got similar serial port errors even when i tried on a raspberry pi4

./balenaos-in-container.sh --image resin/resinos:2.47.0_rev1.dev-raspberrypi3 --id devrack9 -c conf/Firstarmv7app.config.json

TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/serial1.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Conf…ooth Modems connected by UART.
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/serial0.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on serial0.

What exactly is it trying to open the serial device for?
