ifconfig: eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found

[olalonde]

I'm getting an ifconfig: eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found error when doing boot2docker up.

[olalonde]

I'm also getting VBoxManage: error: Invalid parameter 'interface' when doing boot2docker init

[olalonde]

I think I fixed the issue I was having by redirecting log to stderr:

log() {
      echo "[`date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`] ${*}" 1>&2
 }

I'm not getting any errors on init / up now but it seems my VM isn't able to resolve DNS names. dial tcp: lookup index.docker.io: no DNS servers after a docker pull. ping 8.8.8.8 works inside the VM though so it seems to be a DNS issue. I temporarily fixed this by doing echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf"

I started boot2docker a second time and now getting sed: 1: "'/docker/d'": invalid command code ' error :(

What version of boot2docker do you use and on what system? What is the version of VBoxManager?

[aheissenberger]

please download the latest release of the boot2docker script and the ISO https://github.com/aheissenberger/boot2docker/releases

[olalonde]

I'm now using your latest script (https://raw.github.com/aheissenberger/boot2docker/master/boot2docker) and your latest ISO release (https://github.com/aheissenberger/boot2docker/releases/download/0.6.0%2Bah/boot2docker.iso).

$ VBoxManage --version

(OS X 10.9.1 and latest stable VirtualBox)

I am now getting the following error after a fresh init:

$ boot2docker up

Here's what I'm getting when running bash -x boot2docker up:

At least, it seems the DNS issue is fixed now as I am able to pull images from the docker index.

[aheissenberger]

download the lastest version of boot2docker - fixed the problem - this is a problem which does not exits with older versions of sed

[olalonde]

Thanks but still getting an error :(

+ sudo sed -i.bak -e ''\''/docker/d'\''' '/etc/hosts;' sudo echo '"192.168.59.101' 'docker"' '>>' '/etc/hosts;' sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
sed: 1: "'/docker/d'
": invalid command code '

I wish I could help but I've never used sed before.

[aheissenberger]

can you please try this:

echo "1.1.1.1 dummy" > hosts.test
echo "9.9.9.9 docker" >> hosts.test
sed -i .bak -E '/docker/d' hosts.test

if will search for a line containing the word "docker" and will delete this line

if it works update to the latest version

[olalonde]

Yes it works.

$ echo "1.1.1.1 dummy" > hosts.test
$ echo "9.9.9.9 docker" >> hosts.test
$ sed -i .bak -E '/docker/d' hosts.test
$ cat hosts.test
1.1.1.1 dummy

I'm still getting an error with the latest boot2docker script though.
