Hey 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.

how 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

thats 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

ahh yeah that could get a bit messy since the ownership of the folder is wrong.

what folders would the user need to own?

ls -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

brew 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?

@polite-mouse-38756 FYSA
we are running 1.3 right now
👍 1

i thought 1.3 was getting away from using /usr/local/bin so you don’t have to chown it, but could be misremembering

regarding this command 
ls -la /Applications/Rancher\ <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin>
everything seems to be owned by my logged in user

cool how about /usr/local/bin?
w

worried-king-20319

05/31/2022, 7:25 PM
/usr/local/bin
is all owned by root
w

you are on an M1 so the homebrew bits should be in /opt so chowning /usr/local/bin shouldn’t be too disruptive
w

worried-king-20319

05/31/2022, 7:26 PM
so would each standard user need to own 
/usr/local/bin
??
w

it 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

understood on that, I don’t need my admin to own it. I will say, giving my standard user ownership over 
/usr/local/bin
doesn’t seem to have changed anything 😢

so you still have a write permission issue for RD after giving the user ownership over /usr/local/bin?

I noticed that when searching through your issues. Yeah, attaching a screenshot here

wide-mechanic-33041

05/31/2022, 7:38 PM
so did you own the contents of bin or the directory itself?
w

worried-king-20319

05/31/2022, 7:40 PM
I own all of the children of 
/usr/local/bin
and of the directory 
/usr/local/bin

so 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

Sorry 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
