I assume you edited the error message above, as the path in the error is only 94 characters and should have worked well.
g
Yes edited to the USERNAME for better understand
There was some prefix with User Name that's why I edited and added my name only.
f
g
Let me check, however I have already uninstalled the Rancher and trying to find any older version if that work. What do you suggest?
f
The older versions will have the same issue
g
😔
I am studying your provided link if there is any solution I can find.
f
It is a manual step, but you only need to enter those 2 commands once, and everything should work. Well, if you ever do a factory-reset, you will have to redo it.
g
Let me install it first.
f
You'll see that it worked for many others; I'm sure it is going to work for you too:
g
What after I need to do after installation? Should I run those 2 command first then start the Rancher?
I have already downloaded the latest Rancher Desktop. Then What to do? I am using Mac M2
f
You may need to run it once, so it creates the directories, and then fails. Afterwards you can move them, and then restart
g
So should I run the Rancher First?
I just moved the Rancher Icon into my Application but not Ran yet.
f
Yes, because otherwise the directories that you need to move won't exist. Although they may still be there from your earlier attempt.
Just run it once more, quit it when it fails, and then move the directory to the new location
g
Should I run the following command now? $ mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima ~/.rdlima $ ln -s ~/.rdlima ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima Please confirm.
f
Maybe run this first to confirm the directory exists:
Copy code
ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima
g
Okay
f
It should have 2 entries: 
0       _config
If it exists, then run the other 2 commands
g
ls: /Users/codeclouds-arijitpaul/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima: No such file or directory
f
Did you try to run the app first?
g
No. Should I do that first?
I thought before run the App I need to run that command.
f
g
I apologise I missed that.
Running the App now
I just started the App but getting same error and now I quit the App.
f
Yes, and now the directory should exist, and you can move it?
g
Going to run this code
Copy code
ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima
👍 1
Yes getting the below as output -desktop/lima _config
now what to do?
Should I run those 2 commands?
Copy code
$ mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima ~/.rdlima
$ ln -s ~/.rdlima ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima
f
That does not look correct 😞
Copy code
$ ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima
0       _config
Which version of Rancher Desktop did you install?
g
Sorry again
getting this _config
f
Oh, this is a cut&paste error, and the 
-desktop
is part of the command?
g
Yes
f
Ok, now run the 2 commands to move the lima directory
g
Okay let me do that
Okay now I have ran those 2 commands
Now what should I do?
f
If both commands were successful, just start the app again. It should work now
Just remember, if you ever do a factory-reset, you will have to perform this step again because it will delete the symlink
g
Yes you are great 🙏
Before I made disabled the Kubernetes now I am just make that enabled.
f
Glad you got it working! I hope it is smooth sailing for you from now on!
g
I dont know how I say you Thank you 👏
f
You are welcome
g
Yes it was really smooth
I have invested already 12 hours to fix that.
One question
I see there are no There are no containers to show
f
Probably because you haven't started any yet? But also this page unfortunately doesn't auto-refresh; you have to switch to a different page and switch back to get it to update. Haven't tried if ⌘R works or not.
g
Could you please take a look and make sure that everything is correct?
f
Yes, that is fine. These are the containers running in the 
<http://k8s.io|k8s.io>
namespace. When you run containers via 
nerdctl
, they will show up in the 
default
namespace.
g
Currently there is nothing in containers. Let me show you
Please see
f
I don't know what you expect to see, how you started the container etc, but I don't really have time to talk you through all the app functionality. Please try to figure it out on your own, and if you think you found a bug, please report it.
g
Sorry I didn't mean it.
However thank you so much for this help
I though there might be any k8s.io containers will be running like the images.
f
No, the only running containers are the Kubernetes containers, and even they are only running when you enable Kubernetes.
Just go ahead and play around with it for a while, and things should become clearer.
Start a new thread in the channel if you have a new question; to increase the chance that others see it as well
g
Yes thank you Sir 🙇‍♂️

@fast-garage-66093 I'm running into the same issue trying to install rancher desktop on my M3 Macbook - can you confirm the steps I ran were correct? 1. Tried to install Rancher Desktop, received same error as above 2. Quit the application 3. Ran commands linked above (mv and ln commands from link you posted) 4. Re-opened Rancher desktop 5. Still getting same error
Actually, is mine a slightly different error? Says exit code 255 rather than code 1
Copy code
'/tmp/rd-lima-guestagent-z1zjpB.lima-guestagent'
  ],
  stdout: '',
  stderr: '',
  code: 255,
  [Symbol(child-process.command)]: '/Applications/Rancher <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl.ventura|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl.ventura> shell --workdir=. 0 sudo rm -f /tmp/rd-lima-guestagent-z1zjpB.lima-guestagent'
}

Sorry, that is not enough information; you need to provide the complete log files if you want somebody else to take a look!
This is also a completely different issue. so please create your own thread about it. Nobody will see this at the bottom of a 75 messages thread that started about something different
