retry can not solve it

[si458]

sounds like its trying to use virtualbox? which is strange because works fine on my mac and just updated this morning
when you start kitematic, click kitematic in menu bar then select preferences, make sure 'use VirtualBox instead' box is UNTICKED then close kitematic and restart and give that a try

also make sure docker is running FIRST in the menubar before you open kitematic

[neargle]

thanks for reply, it even can not click the preferences.

[si458]

try this (THIS RESET SCRIPT WILL WIPE ALL DOCKER AND KITEMATIC DATA - RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK)

1. CLOSE KITEMATIC AND DOCKER completely (QUIT)
2. open terminal
3. Choose either 3A OR 3B
   3A. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/kitematic/master/util/reset && chmod a+x reset && ./reset
   3B. curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/kitematic/master/util/reset | bash
   (IGONRE LAST WARNING ABOUT VIRTUALBOX UNINSTALL)
4. open docker and let it get started
5. then open kitematic

[neargle]

@si458 thanks for your reply. but the bash script is dangerous. it will delete all your file in ~/.docker which maybe contain all your docker images。 And it delete file but not install。we can not do 4 step and 5 step after 3. I will edit it, and try this way.

[si458]

i simply did a google to factory reset docker and kitematic and came across the link and worked fine on my laptop but i only use docker once every so often for stuff, so not worried about deleting docker images, etc
if need be download/save the file then edit it and remove the docker lines and everything else should be fine :)

[neargle]

@si458 yeah, i edit the script as you said and run it. then i reinstall docker and kitematic, it can not solve this issue. Thank you all the same.

[FrenchBen]

FYI - It's much easier to use Docker for Mac instead of virtualbox.

I had exactly the same problem. Simon's solution worked for me (thanks, thumb up!). Could the occurrence of this be prevented in the stable release of the Kitematic installer? For example by having the software check for the condition in which NOT to start the virtual box?
