lstart not working using Docker Toolbox on Windows 8.1 - 64 bit #109

Closed Akelatnx closed 3 years ago

Hi to everybody.

I have an old pc so I had to install a deprecated version of Docker Toolbox but Kathara seemed to work anyway: I was able to create and start single machines, but if I use the command lstart I get the error in the attached image.

How can I solve this? I need it to work for my class... :-(

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Akelatnx,

what version of Docker and Windows are you using?

Thanks.

Akelatnx commented 3 years ago

Hi!

I'm using Windows 8.1 - 64 bit and Docker Toolbox 19.03.1

Hi @Akelatnx, could you please try the following?

Type kathara settings, choose (**Windows only**) Enable WLS2 Support option and choose Yes to enable it. Try again to start a lab and tell us if it's working.

WARNING: Keep in mind that the WSL2 flag will be removed in the next Kathará release, so you can't update it to newer versions (>2.2.4) if you don't update your OS to Win10 and the latest Docker Desktop release.

Thanks, Mariano.
