@delixyr and @lukebailey this might be related to #127. If your machine did not init properly you are going to have issues with the other commands as well.

Can you run the following steps we discussed here to see if its a DNS problem with the virtual machine?

Also, can you attach the contents of /var/log/cloud-init-output.log and /var/log/cloud-init.log?

Here are some steps to get those files from the machine to your host:

1. multipass transfer nitro-dev:/var/log/cloud-init-output.log cloud-init-output.log
2. multipass transfer nitro-dev:/var/log/cloud-init.log cloud-init.log

cloud-init-output.log

Why does 7.2 works and not 7.4 ?

[jasonmccallister]

@delixyr I think we have identified the issue, we are installing php-cli during init which includes PHP 7.2 so we can install composer. We discovered php-cli also install OCache by default. We are removing the php-cli in beta 5 and moving composer to nitro install composer. Beta 5 also switches to Ubuntu 20.04 for new installations.

Hoping this resolves the issue.

Having same issue, will wait for Beta 5.

Beta 6 was just released which should resolve this issue. I'm going to keep this open until we are sure but if you can update to the latest beta and try nitro init.

[jasonmccallister]

We just released Nitro 2 where we switched from Multipass to Docker and added a ton of new features. Please see the announcement for more details.

This issue was specific to Multipass so we are going to close this out. Please see the documentation on upgrading from Nitro 1.
