Ubuntu multipass

 
First download the tiny installer:

newer versions don't work on macos Monterey 12.6.7

Docs:

launch failed: multipass socket access denied

 FYI, the new command is multipass auth. Note you must first issue multipass set local.passphrase as admin to set passphrase (and then enter this same passphrase when issuing the auth command).

H...Gi...4...!
