Description

Hey,

I'm trying to run colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 after a fresh brew install on my M1 Mac monterey but it seems to hang

serial (9).log

Also tried colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --cpu-type qemu64 which gave error at 'creating and starting': exit status 1

Logs for colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --arch x86_64

Can you share the output of ~/.lima/colima/ha.stderr.log ?

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T17:49:27Z

Sure, there you go, I believe this is from the latest run which was using the command colima start test --verbose

ha.stderr.log

abiosoft · 2023-05-04T18:50:29Z

Looking at the logs, I found this which seems like the qemu process is getting terminated abruptly somehow.

{"level":"debug","msg":"qemu[stderr]: qemu-system-aarch64: terminating on signal 2 from pid 2301 (\u003cunknown process\u003e)","time":"2023-05-02T21:13:50+01:00"}

abiosoft · 2023-05-04T18:57:14Z

It's a bit strange that the qemu-system-aarch64 binary is being used since you are using the --arch x86_64.

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T19:00:22Z

Looking at the logs, I found this which seems like the qemu process is getting terminated abruptly somehow.

Anything I can do to get better logs to identify the reason? Could it be the log of the keyboard interrupt to stop the process as it was waiting for too long

It's a bit strange that the qemu-system-aarch64 binary is being used since you are using the --arch x86_64.

As I mentioned above these logs seems to be from the latest run where I tried colima start test --verbose

ha.stderr.log

abiosoft · 2023-05-04T19:33:28Z

@rjra2611 just to confirm, this only happens when you're simulating x86_64 right?

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T19:44:01Z

this only happens when you're simulating x86_64 right?

Nope, as shared in the issue description. I tried the following:

colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8
colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --arch x86_64
colima start test --verbose

But got Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 5: "ssh" for all of the above.

The only command which gave me a different result was colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --cpu-type qemu64 as shared in the issue description

abiosoft · 2023-05-04T19:47:23Z

You cannot change an architecture of an existing VM. If you initially created with --arch x86_64 and stopped the VM, the next start would not change the architecture even if you specify a --arch aarch64.

You will need to either create a new instance by specifying the profile name colima start profile2 or you delete the existing profile colima delete.

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T20:06:51Z

@abiosoft I did a fresh install and tried stop/delete/status before running colima start profile2 --cpu 4 --memory 8 but got the same result. Sharing my logs for review:

@rjra2611 you should probably also make sure you've done these when testing:

a successful brew upgrade
rm -r ~/.colima ~/.lima

I use colima 0.5.4 with limactl 0.15.1 every day on mac M1, so so do dozens or hundreds of other DDEV users, so there must be something odd going on. I don't have a place to test with Monterrey, but lots of people are using it.

The setup we recommend for DDEV is colima start --cpu 4 --memory 6 --disk 100 --vm-type=qemu --mount-type=sshfs --dns=1.1.1.1

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T21:53:14Z

Thanks, @rfay

Something worked, something didn't. I tried:

brew update, brew upgrade
colima uninstall/reinstall
rm -r ~/.colima ~/.lima
colima start --cpu 4 --memory 6 --disk 100 --vm-type=qemu --mount-type=sshfs --dns=1.1.1.1

But it doesn't work and says --vm-type flag not found. The help doesn't show the option as well. Colima is 0.5.4

What worked was using --arch x86_64

Logs from colima start profile4 --cpu 4 --memory 8 --arch x86_64

serial.log
ha.stderr.log

As may require is NOT to start VM in x86_64 I tried

colima start --cpu 4 --memory 6 --disk 100 --mount-type=sshfs --dns=1.1.1.1 -- whcih didnt' work. Below are the logs for same.

ha.stderr.log
serial.log

NOTE: Used this after colima delete to start from fresh

rfay · 2023-05-04T22:29:15Z

I didn't remember, maybe --vm-type only works on current Ventura.

But running with --arch x68_64 is something which would be very, very unusual to use on mac M1.

Can you please show the output of which colima and of file $(which colima) ?

rjra2611 · 2023-05-04T22:36:40Z

Sure, here you go @rfay

Also, output of colima start profile4 --cpu 4 --memory 8 --arch x86_64 if it helps

rfay · 2023-05-04T22:53:55Z

I'm glad you have the arm64 colima, that's good, and you have homebrew installed in the right place; lots of people have trouble when they move to mac M1 because they copy /usr/local/bin with amd64 homebrew over to the new mac, and it doesn't work at all.

Your situation makes no sense at all :(

You really don't want x86_64 right? You want to be running arm64? x86_64 will be nothing but trouble and poor performance for you unless there's some exotic reason you really have to run x86_64/amd64.

I know you've already done this, but colima start p5 just fails right, and hangs? That should bring up an arm64 profile (assuming you haven't used p5 before)

rfay · 2023-05-04T23:09:56Z

Please show which limactl and file $(which limactl) as well. If those were wrong, you'd get bizarre results like this. They should be arm64. And really, there should be nothing in /usr/local/Homebrew .

abiosoft · 2023-05-05T04:21:02Z

I didn't remember, maybe --vm-type only works on current Ventura.

Yeah, it only works on Ventura.

JoeLyga · 2023-05-05T15:10:08Z

I have the same issue. I just updated brew and Colima stopped working. I'm on an M1 Macbook Pro, and Colima worked just fine yesterday.

What worked for me is doing

colima delete
brew reinstall colima
colima start

It still hung on ssh for a minute or two. But it ended up working after that. But your mileage may vary.

rjra2611 · 2023-05-05T15:29:06Z

@rfay sure there you go

Yup, nothing in /usr/local/Homebrew .

I know you've already done this, but colima start p5 just fails right, and hangs? That should bring up an arm64 profile (assuming you haven't used p5 before)

Yup, tried it as shared above with logs, sharing the screenshot here as well.

@abiosoft can you please look into it too. My use case is to only run colima with arm64 but currently only works when using x86_64 which seems like a very popular solution as per the comment here

rfay · 2023-05-05T15:44:30Z

That is totally bizarre. Thanks for trying it out.

JoeLyga · 2023-05-05T15:59:23Z

It may also be weirdness on my machine / network. But FYI in case this is an issue for anyone else.

AlexeyRaga · 2023-05-06T07:23:45Z

I have upgraded to colima-0.5.4 and am having a similar issue as well.
I am on an Intel MacOS, have done colima delete and am having this:

What might be good is cleanup and restart - and yes, restart sounds not needed, but if you had a system running for a while, and updated software etc - a clean restart might not be a bad idea.

What might be good to do:

Make sure no lima or colima VMs are running
Cleanup ~/.colima and ~/.lima
Cleanup the cache here - $HOME/Library/Caches/lima/download/
Make sure you run "brew update; brew upgrade" and that all is on latest versions.
Now close all terminals and apps and reboot.
When reboot is done, and logged in give it a minute - let all the MacOs background processes start.

Now try a basic setup: colima start -c2 -d10 -m2 --very-verbose and see what happens.

Also if any issues - maybe post the following so all is 100% sure what versions are in use:

sw_vers
uname -a
colima version
lima --version
qemu-img -V
/opt/colima/bin/socket_vmnet -version

rfay · 2023-05-08T14:37:11Z

It does look like you have qemu running already in this situation. We have asked about limactl current version a number of times, but not about qemu. You might want to brew uninstall all your qemu dependencies and reinstall them, and make sure qemu isn't running at all.

But these lines sure do seem to imply problems outside of colima:

My use case is to only run colima with arm64 but currently only works when using x86_64 which seems like a very popular solution as per the comment #424 (comment)

@rfay As stated earlier that I'm only able to run Colima in x86_64 mode but my aim is to use an Amd64 image using the Colima VM. Would you recommend going ahead with this setup -> Colima x86_64 mode on Apple Silicom M1/M2 (arm64) trying to run an Amd64 image?

rfay · 2023-05-10T16:06:36Z

Hi @rjra2611 - All I can say is that your mileage may vary. In general, performance with emulated containers is awful and in many cases breaks unpredictably. For example, people are always trying to run Oracle DB and Oracle MySQL containers (only available in amd64) on arm64 and they run into complete blockers or random failures.

I would certainly recommend that you upgrade to macOS Ventura but I assume there's a reason you haven't done that. It would sure help to understand this issue. But my expectation is that there's something in your network or computer that is the problem, and it's probably not Monterrey.

But have you already tried temporarily disabling all firewall/VPN software? Have you tried using your computer on a different network?

rjra2611 · 2023-05-11T20:35:23Z

@rfay Thank you, that's very helpful

Similar to the last two comments, I also run into this issue on an Intel MacBook Pro running 13.4 with 64gb RAM, but only whenever I run with --memory x where x is close to the free memory available (for me at the time, --memory 30 works but --memory 31 doesn't).

Same issue here

Tried completely cleaning colima, restarting the machine. generally using the options:

colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 4

Modifying memory doesn't change anything for me, it still waits on "ssh" and fails with the same logs

EDIT: UPDATE
Updating my macOS version to from 13.3.x to 13.4 (22F66) has fixed the issue.

I'm not sure if the issue is pinned to a macOS version. It might be that the system update did it's housekeeping stuff and it got fixed that way.

I have same issue with Apple M2 Max. Version of MacOs is 13.5.1.
colima version 0.5.5. It's only for --arch x86_64

same issue with Apple M2 Max MacOs 13.5.1 (22G90)

AndrewIISM · 2023-08-30T09:16:14Z

I fixed it with downgrade qemu to v8.0.3
#786 (comment)

tdy · 2023-09-23T19:40:34Z

I fixed it with downgrade qemu to v8.0.3 #786 (comment)

That looks like a different error ("failed to open QMP socket") and different chip (Intel).

I tried downgrading qemu anyway, but it didn't fix this error ("waiting for essential requirement ssh") on my system (M2 Ventura).

MattMacGregor · 2023-10-06T20:51:13Z

I fixed it with downgrade qemu to v8.0.3 #786 (comment)

Using a M2 Max on Ventura 13.2.1, this method worked for me (used Option 1 from the linked comment). Figured it was worth mentioning

StephanMeijer · 2023-11-07T13:51:58Z

Also encountered this issue. Removed ~/.lima and /.colima but didn't fix my issues.

Same issue here. 😢
tried downgrading to 8.0.3 but without success.

rfay · 2023-11-24T23:23:35Z

Now for the first time ever I've seen this, was wondering if it had to do with QEMU update, Homebrew/homebrew-core#155388

rfay · 2023-11-25T01:01:13Z

This latest seems to be due to QEMU homebrew upgrade etc,

And edit: The homebrew change is reverted in

Update, the homebrew revert fixed the problem.

M4urici0GM · 2023-11-28T23:09:08Z

Same issue on Macos Sonoma 14.4.1 on M3 Pro
Only docker desktop works

M4urici0GM · 2023-11-28T23:23:05Z

Apparently, the workaround is using vz instead of qemu for now, on lima's issue #1996
It worked for me
colima start --vm-type vz

LedzZm · 2023-11-30T15:07:27Z

For me this did not work either, I am getting
`

M4urici0GM · 2023-11-30T15:13:24Z

try removing the existing instance
colima delete
then start with vz
colima start --vm-type vz

royalan · 2024-01-10T02:38:47Z

Try removing the cache folder $HOME/Library/Caches/lima. I fixed the problem by doing this.

szhem · 2024-02-15T09:15:44Z

I've had the same issue and looking through the /Users/<user>/.colima/_lima/colima/ha.stderr.log found that /Users/<user>/.colima/_lima/_config/user ssh key is too open, e.g. has to wide permissions.

After executing

chmod o-r,g-r /Users/<user>/.colima/_lima/_config/user

everything was able to start without issues

elisagia · 2024-04-30T06:14:46Z

try removing the existing instance colima delete then start with vz colima start --vm-type vz

this worked for me! thanks!

dankeller · 2024-05-01T18:38:56Z

I've had the same issue and looking through the /Users//.colima/_lima/colima/ha.stderr.log found that /Users//.colima/_lima/_config/user ssh key is too open, e.g. has to wide permissions.

After executing
chmod o-r,g-r /Users/<user>/.colima/_lima/_config/user
everything was able to start without issues

Trying the other items in this thread and nothing worked until I saw this. The user key was globally readable. I ran chmod o-r .colima/_lima/_config/user during the startup process and that unstuck it.

~ ❯❯❯ ls -la .colima/_lima/_config/user                                                                                                                       ⏎
-rw----r--  1 user  group  411 Mar 22 16:33 .colima/_lima/_config/user
~ ❯❯❯ chmod o-r .colima/_lima/_config/user

The "waiting for ssh" message in my other terminal tab went away and colima finished starting!

I'm on MacOs Sonoma | M1

Tuve el mismo problema y al revisar /Users//.colima/_lima/colima/ha.stderr.log encontré que la clave ssh de /Users//.colima/_lima/_config/user está demasiado abierta, por ejemplo, tiene permisos demasiado amplios.

Después de ejecutar
chmod o-r,g-r /Users/<user>/.colima/_lima/_config/user
Todo pudo comenzar sin problemas.

Solvento el problema, muchas gracias
