Hello @moonolgerd, thank you for logging this issue. This is a bug on the new way that we use to dynamically add a reference to the dashboard package within our SDK, and will repro in rhel systems. We will get this fix in our next servicing, but in the meantime, here is some code you can add to your AppHost project to workaround the issue:

<PropertyGroup>
  <SkipAddAspireDefaultReferences>true</SkipAddAspireDefaultReferences>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-x64" Version="8.2.0" />
  <PackageReference Include="Aspire.Hosting.Orchestration.linux-x64" Version="8.2.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Same problem on Ubuntu 24.04, if anyone is searching for the error:

 error NU1101: Unable to find package Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.ubuntu.24.04-x64. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nuget.org
 error NU1101: Unable to find package Aspire.Hosting.Orchestration.ubuntu.24.04-x64. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nuget.org

I tried the suggested workaround but starting the app host throws:

Unhandled exception. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Property CliPath: The path to the DCP executable used for Aspire orchestration is required.; Property DashboardPath: The path to the Aspire Dashboard binaries is missing.)

Fixed the CliPath error by upgrading SDK to 8.0.401, the one in Ubuntu 24.04 sources was 8.0.100, and Microsoft APT feed for 24.04 doesn't have Dotnet SDK yet so had to manually install the newer version

@joperezr Thank you for the workaround!

[caleblloyd]

@moonolgerd does this need to stay open so that the issue can be tracked? The workaround does solve the issue but there is no linked fix

[moonolgerd]

Reopened

[joperezr]

Yup, thanks for reopening. I'll push a fix for this this week.

Experiencing the same on Fedora 40. One-line fix above seems to be working in the interim!

Looking forward to update. /subscribed 😄

Update: This might help some people, but I had to switch to using the Microsoft maintained packages as my Fedora repos weren't giving me version 8.0.401. In order to make this work, I had to basically filter out all .NET packages from my Fedora update repos with this: excludepkgs=dotnet*,aspnet*,netstandard*

I aired on the side of caution and put one copy of this at the bottom of each of the sections ([updates], [updates-debuginfo], [updates-source]).

I used these instructions to manually set up the Microsoft source.

What about *.linux-musl-x64 packages? They are not available on NuGet at all.

error NU1101: Unable to find package Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-musl-x64. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nuget.org
error NU1101: Unable to find package Aspire.Hosting.Orchestration.linux-musl-x64. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nuget.org

[joperezr]

Same workaround provided here should work for the musl case. I'm working on a fix that will ship in 8.2.1 so that we can remove this manual workaround.
