05/31/2022, 5:13 PMHey all, I am seeing some issues setting up Rancher Desktop on an M1 Macbook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. Below are the errors that I am recieving:
Error: spawn /Applications/Rancher Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl EACCES
Some recent logfile lines:
‘shell’,
‘--workdir=.’,
‘0’,
‘sudo’,
‘mv’,
‘./trivy’,
‘/usr/local/bin/trivy’
]
}
Iam not sure how best to troubleshoot this, any assistance would be much appreciated.

05/31/2022, 7:15 PMhow did you install RD? almost sounds like an install as a different user than the one you are running as so the perms are off

05/31/2022, 7:17 PMthats exactly what happened!
I restrict brew to my admin user thats used to set up these machines. So Rancher Desktop is running on a standard users account

05/31/2022, 7:19 PMahh yeah that could get a bit messy since the ownership of the folder is wrong.

05/31/2022, 7:19 PMwhat folders would the user need to own?
w
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:20 PMls -la /Applications/Rancher\ Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin
its going to need access to the App so make sure that looks clean

05/31/2022, 7:21 PMI am checking now

05/31/2022, 7:21 PMbrew also really doesn’t like running as a different user
thats why it will toss an error if you try and install as root
and are you rolling 1.3 or 1.2?

we are running 1.3 right now
👍 1

05/31/2022, 7:23 PMi thought 1.3 was getting away from using /usr/local/bin so you don’t have to chown it, but could be misremembering

05/31/2022, 7:23 PMregarding this command
ls -la /Applications/Rancher\ <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin>w

05/31/2022, 7:24 PMcool how about /usr/local/bin?
w
worried-king-20319
05/31/2022, 7:25 PM/usr/local/binw
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:25 PMyou are on an M1 so the homebrew bits should be in /opt so chowning /usr/local/bin shouldn’t be too disruptive

05/31/2022, 7:26 PMso would each standard user need to own
/usr/local/binw
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:27 PMit needs to be writable based on that err. there can only be one owner
trying to track down where the RD folks were shifting away from usr/local/bin to a dedicated folder
w
worried-king-20319
05/31/2022, 7:29 PMunderstood on that, I don’t need my admin to own it. I will say, giving my standard user ownership over
/usr/local/binw
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:30 PMso you still have a write permission issue for RD after giving the user ownership over /usr/local/bin?
w
worried-king-20319
05/31/2022, 7:37 PMI noticed that when searching through your issues. Yeah, attaching a screenshot here
w
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:38 PMso did you own the contents of bin or the directory itself?
w
worried-king-20319
05/31/2022, 7:40 PMI own all of the children of
/usr/local/bin/usr/local/binw
wide-mechanic-33041
05/31/2022, 7:42 PMso rancher is running as sheldon.mcclung and sheldon.mcclung can’t write to that path even though they own it. thats a head scratcher to me 🤔. may need the real Rancher team to step in
i think you are in a similar situation as https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/1560

05/31/2022, 9:14 PMSorry I had to step away from this for a bit with customer demands. I will look into that issue. In the meantime, please let me know how I can assist in troubleshooting. I haven’t been able to find any good path forward towards getting this to work consistently.
so regardless, given that I have a fully automated workstation setup, Rancher Desktop is going to be installed by either root or root su’ing into an admin user. Either way I think I might run into the problem stated above
