cf dev start: unable to find VM IP address from '/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.status' #107

karizma987 · 2019-07-01T09:12:31Z

although i found the same error being solved but it is not working for me. i am new to cloud foundry.
i am trying to install cloud foundry dev.
i used the following command.

sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin libvirt-doc
wget -q -O - https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian/cli.cloudfoundry.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudfoundry-cli.list
# ...then, update your local package index, then finally install the cf CLI
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cf-cli

OUTOUT AFTER THE LAST COMMAND

The following user that posted a similar issue was missing some other system packages. Could that be the case here?

georgi-bozhinov · 2019-07-02T12:43:53Z

I had the same error and it turns out virtualization wasn't enabled on my machine. The issue was fixed by enabling it.

karizma987 · 2019-07-03T07:42:41Z

@georgi-bozhinov i check my system, virtualisation is already enabled. i tried to do the whole process again. still geting the same error.
cf dev start: unable to find VM IP address from '/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.status'

aemengo · 2019-07-03T15:26:07Z

@karizma987 Is that file present? What are the contents of /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.status. Is there any file present at this directory: /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/?

some-ibmer · 2019-07-03T18:16:10Z

Had the same problem as @georgi-bozhinov where virtualization was not enabled on the machine. Works now that it is enabled.

karizma987 · 2019-07-05T16:18:13Z

@aemengo i check the file in var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.status
the file is present but its empty. when i open it is shows square brackets like this
[

]

and no other content.

karizma987 · 2019-07-05T16:21:57Z

@eddie-at-ibm i use the following command to check whether virtualization is enabled or not.

sudo modprobe msr
sudo rdmsr 0x3a
Values 3 and 5 mean it's activated.
and my system is returning 5 and even checked the system setup setting virtualization is enabled.
and the problem still persist.

aemengo · 2019-07-05T18:07:32Z

@karizma987

Does the following command return anything? ps aux | grep linuxkit
Are there any files that can be found in: ~/.cfdev/log?

karizma987 · 2019-07-06T18:21:00Z

@aemengo ps aux | grep linuxkit gives the below output

inside ~/.cfdev/log

linuxkit.log is present.

one new thing happened, i tried reinstalling again the cf dev.... but this time the error i got is this:-

Creating the VM...
Starting the VM...
Fetching VM Address...
FAILED
cf dev start: unexpected end of JSON input

now i don't know whether the previous error is rectified or i got a new error in addition. trying finding the solution for this error now. will update soon further about the progress.

aemengo · 2019-07-06T18:22:53Z

What are the last few lines of the linuxkit.log file?

karizma987 · 2019-07-06T18:37:51Z

@aemengo can you tell where to find this linuxkit.log file? i used the terminal to see the content of cfdev/log but not able to see the content of linuxkit.log

aemengo · 2019-07-06T18:41:28Z

Can you perform the following and tell me the output?

$ tail -n 30 ~/.cfdev/log/linuxkit.log

karizma987 · 2019-07-06T18:43:22Z

aemengo · 2019-07-08T21:20:32Z

I'm really sorry for the delay in responding, but unfortunately there's still not much to go on. Something must be occurring wrongly with the libvirt interaction in a way that is not quite surfacing itself.

karizma987 · 2019-07-10T07:35:04Z

@aemengo thank you for responding, i am working on the issue, will update incase i am able to move forward in the installation.

richard-cox · 2019-07-10T16:55:31Z

@karizma987 I hit the same issue today, however my virsh net-list --all was missing default. Found this and this really helpful.

karizma987 · 2019-07-15T14:34:47Z

@richard-cox i tried virsh net-list --all

output is

 Name                 State      Autostart     Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
 default              active     yes           yes

so that means default is already active i guess.

tosone · 2019-09-17T09:42:53Z

I found this line, timeout is too short for me.

tosone · 2019-09-17T10:36:35Z

How to compile this repo? I want to fix some bugs and tests on my own. @aemengo

gitricko · 2020-07-05T08:10:29Z

i have the same error... cat /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr. gives me 3 IPs... is it the timeout that cause the issue. Maybe the program need to wait longer ?
