Support for 'multipass' needs to be set up. Would you like to do that now? [y/N]: y

Then it started to repeat last message warning: "--mem" long option will be deprecated in favour of "--memory" in a future release. Please update any scripts, etc. launch failed: cannot connect to the multipass socket

What is worst, I tried to remove it by microk8s uninstall, then brew uninstall ubuntu/microk8s/microk8s and then trying to install it again without succees. Every time it's still erroring:

warning: "--mem" long option will be deprecated in favour of "--memory" in a future release. Please update any scripts, etc.
launch failed: cannot connect to the multipass socket

What Should Happen Instead?

Succeed.

Reproduction Steps

1. $ brew install ubuntu/microk8s/microk8s
2. $ microk8s install
3. Select yes when ask for setup multipass

Introspection Report

$ microk8s inspect

MicroK8s is not installed. Please run microk8s install.

Can you suggest a fix?

Yes

Are you interested in contributing with a fix?

I would like, will try to dig dive into brew and microk8s commands.

Hi @luilver, sorry for missing this.

On macOS, the microk8s installer will attempt to create an ubuntu VM using multipass. From the error message, it looks like multipass is having trouble working on your machine?

Can you see if Multipass works OK, using something like multipass ls or multipass launch 20.04?

[luilver]

Hi @neoaggelos, thank you for your kind support.

Definitively Multipass is not working. This is either multipass ls and multipass launch 20.04 output:

list failed: cannot connect to the multipass socket

At this point I don't know how to proceed. Is multipass a different package I should try to reinstall otherwise how should I proceed?

Hi @luilver

Yes, multipass is a separate project (https://multipass.run) that is automatically installed by the microk8s installer to manage the ubuntu VM microk8s itself will be running on.

You might be able to find help by opening an issue on multipass GitHub repo: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues
