Crc: Latest CRC setup fails

[aceeric]

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. I had been using CRC 1.10 then ran into the cert renewal issue yesterday. Reverted to 1.8 yesterday but had other issues. Noticed today that a new version (1.11) is available and downloaded and extracted:

$ ls -l
total 17003000
-rwxrwxr-x 1 eace eace 2195573725 May 31 23:55 crc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eace eace 2179670828 Jun  2 12:38 crc-linux-amd64.tar.xz

Before downloading, I removed the 1.8 VM with crc delete. Then:

$ ./crc version
crc version: 1.11.0+883ca49
OpenShift version: 4.4.5 (embedded in binary)

Then:

$ ./crc setup --log-level=debug

Can you offer some guidance? Thanks

I'm seeing the exact same issue. Just downloaded the crc binary today. Why is wheel group hardcoded?

crc version
crc version: 1.11.0+883ca49
OpenShift version: 4.4.5 (embedded in binary)

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release:    18.04
Codename:   bionic

grep wheel /etc/group | wc -l
0

I had issues with 1.10 failing to renew certs on a fresh start so had to rollback to 1.9.0 to get back up and running.

If you have urgency and want to solve this problem in Ubuntu or Debian or Kali, just run
sudo groupadd wheel

Thank you marcelomrwin, It works. but after that I am getting "FATA You need to enable virtualization in BIOS. can you help". How can I solve this?
