Segmentation fault from #956 by @thomasshanks

When I attempt to run Kitematic from Finder, the icon bounces for one second and disappears. When I attempt to start it from the terminal, I get:

myhostname:MacOS tshanks$ ./Electron
Segmentation fault: 11
myhostname:MacOS tshanks$

In the log, I have-

I just installed it today, so I should have the latest version. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.8.5.

@Dmitry1987 Although the hope is to make a tool work everywhere, there's unfortunately certain use cases that we cannot foresee and unfortunately breaks the 'Grandma experience'
If you look at the log info (creating a gist would've actually helped us) there's very little provided to assist you, but we can assume that virtualbox encountered a certain issue.

We have a wiki that has some windows information, which may be of help to you:
https://github.com/docker/kitematic/wiki/Common-Issues-and-Fixes#windows-10

[Dmitry1987]

@FrenchBen Then this tool have to be packed inside with proper and configured standalone virtualbox that will run the machines. On the other hand, Vagrant has access to my installed regular virtualbox with no issues, creating and deleting machines, and never saw any warnings or errors. If Vagrant can - this tool can :) .

[FrenchBen]

What does Vagrant do with your regular Virtualbox?

[Dmitry1987]

Vagrant can create new VMs, download boxes and run them (VMs of someone else), destroy boxes (delete vm). It operates all virtualbox as it needs, I never saw issues or even warnings.

and vagrant is a simple cli tool... your app also can be as good as vagrant with operating virtualbox. there are no reasons for end-user to start troubleshooting anything on his PC to run docker on top of virtualbox.... good luck in development =)

[FrenchBen]

@Dmitry1987 The question was more of a 'what do you do with your Vagrant VM' - How do you use them? Do you SSH into them? Do you use them to serve external services? Do you mount volumes? etc.

[Dmitry1987]

oh, I use the VMs for testing stuff, like a cluster of Consul+Vault servers, testing Chef cookbooks and recipes. A way back I was using them to test Ansible playbooks on different distros as once (centos / ubuntu), and stuff like that...

1. yes, i ssh into them too of course :) .
   I like how vagrant quickly creates and destroys a machine, it's so cool.
2. I never used it to serve any services externally.
3. i don't mount stuff, usually all tests done on main volume.

hope it helps =)

This conversation is pointless, this issue should be closed as most issues are solved using the latest version of Virtualbox and Toolbox. Vagrant is not doing anything special nor it has ever done, or it will ever do. The same issues can be found by using Vagrant as the ones here if you try to do the same thing with the same versions reported.

[FrenchBen]

@radum 👍

[kimbaudi]

I installed Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 and started Kitematic (Alpha). This results in a setup error: connect ETIMEDOUT. Only when I click the 'USE VIRTUALBOX' button am I able to start Kitematic successfully. Note that my vm named 'default' was already running in VirtualBox so I didn't think I have to click the 'USE VIRTUALBOX' button. I am using Docker version 1.11.2 and Kitematic version 0.35.4.

[FrenchBen]

@kimbaudi It is as expected - On windows, we are in favor of Docker for Windows.
Simply click USE VIRTUALBOX to use VirtualBox instead

[zoujyjs]

Using kitematic with docker for windows, I got this error:

The address seems like a public address. And I can't ping it.

[FrenchBen]

@zoujyjs Can you open a PowerShell window and do docker ps?

[nokola]

Same issue here, however I must use Hyper-V, because of other VMs on hyper-v running on my machine (phone emulators). Thus, docker is not really usable from me. I'm a beginner user and love the Kitematic interface. I can't click "use VirtualBox" because it doesn't work with Hyper-V running. I can do docker ps from powershell.

Docker 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 and Kitematic v0.35.4.
Has anyone heard anything about a proper fix for this issue?

[FrenchBen]

@nokola I haven't had any issues in the past - I'll do some QA again to confirm that everything is working as expected

[nokola]

Thanks @FrenchBen , if you'd like we could sync up on Skype and I can share the screen. Haven't been able to resolve this for week+ now. Installed clean Windows 10 10586 2 days ago, enabled Hyper-V, installed Docker 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 and Kitematic v0.35.4 and I see the issue outright.

[FrenchBen]

@nokola I ping'd you via email :)

[zoujyjs]

@nokola @FrenchBen I use a cygwin mintty, but whether a container is running (which will show up in the output of docker ps) or not (docker ps gives empty) doesn't change the behavior (connect ETIMEOUT to a public ip). But if I disable the network connection by turning my laptop into the airplane mode and open Kitematic again, it will be fine. And the public ip looks very likely being my NSP's. Hope this will help you to locate the problem.

[nokola]

Yes! thanks @zoujyjs . @FrenchBen, I just tried disabling the network adapter for my wired network. When I do this, Kitematic connects to Docker immediately! Of course, after that I can't download anything since I don't have internet connection :)

[zoujyjs]

@nokola of course you can enable the network after the connection :)

[nokola]

Doesn't work @zoujyjs . Kitematic can't connect to docker again then to download/run the image. I tried! :)

[zoujyjs]

@nokola
Wtf.. I haven't try that..

[zoujyjs]

@nokola Hi, you should try the latest release, which has fixed this issue.

[FrenchBen]

With a focus towards Docker for Mac/Windows, I'm closing this.
