Thanks in advance. I'm having trouble w/racket specifically under docker emulating x86\_64. AFAIK everything else seems to be working fine. I saw @awiersdorf started a [related discussion](https://racket.discourse.group/t/docker-container-for-racket-for-architectures-other-than-x86/2705) a while back. I'm seeing different behavior than he saw; his had sporadic crashes and I'm seeing immediate consistent failures. I've tried a also downloading and executing the installer, and saw a similar failure. ```scheme $ uname -m arm64 $ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 racket/racket:latest sh -c "uname -m; racket" x86_64 Error: error reading from ~a ("petite") Aborted $ docker --version Docker version 24.0.5, build ced0996 ``` My primary suspect is something I'm doing wrong or don't understand; advice welcome. ---

This is not really my area of expertise, but you specified `amd64` and (AFAICT), all the images are built for x86\_64? ---

Out of my expertise too, @benknoble . But doesn't this seem right? ```scheme $ docker image inspect racket/racket:latest --format '{{.Os}}/{{.Architecture}}' linux/amd64 ``` As far as I can tell, I'm getting the Rosetta emulation for the right platform. ```scheme $ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 --rm racket/racket:latest sh -c 'uname -msrpv ; (apt-get update && apt-get install procps -y) >/dev/null 2>&1; ps -ef; racket' Linux 5.15.49-linuxkit-pr #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 25 07:27:39 UTC 2023 x86_64 unknown UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 17:18 pts/0 00:00:00 /rosetta/rosetta /usr/bin/sh -c uname -msrpv ; (apt-get update && apt-get install procps -y) >/dev/null 2>&1; ps -ef; racket root 191 1 50 17:18 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ps -ef Error: error reading from ~a ("petite") Aborted ``` For giggles, I did try it w/`linux/x86_64` but no dice. Any other ideas? ---

tl;dr turn off rosetta, let qemu do its thing unimpeded, and you're good to go. ---

I run into the same issue today. Can you please clarify what exact command line you used to make it work? ---

Thanks for reviving this thread. I've had this problem as well. Disabling Rosetta in the Docker Desktop settings UI fixes the problem. ![Screenshot of Docker Desktop Rosetta settings disabled](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/2X/7/7986a7405e1fba461921685e6eab96c7e3ab3d75.png) ---

Thanks! I found it in the settings. Turning it off does fix the problem. ---

A better, long-term solution might be to build one's own arm64 racket image. I'm finding that the emulation is still a little flakey. For instance, I have trouble with REPL interaction but `racket -e` seems to work fine. ```scheme $ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 racket/racket:latest racket -e '(display (+ 2 3))' 5 $ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 racket/racket:latest racket Welcome to Racket v8.17 [cs]. > 3 ;; hangs ``` I find I get the _best_ behavior using QEMU (Legacy) as the VMM.
