dial unix /Users/$USER/.lima/default/default_ep.sock: connect: no such file or directory #4434
Description
Description
Hello! I want to use lima, after running limactl start, then choosing the template and downloading the files, I get the following log:
WARN[0557] [hostagent] Failed to wait for the guest SSH server to become available, falling back to usernet forwarder error="Get \"http://lima/services/dhcp/leases\": dial unix /Users/hossein/.lima/default/default_ep.sock: connect: no such file or directory"
I gave it a few minutes but nothing happened. Sending ctrl + C or running limactl stop won't work and I have to manually kill the pid to make it stop.
EDIT: tried another template and it worked flawlessly. Maybe it's something reelated to Arch?
