It looks like the brew installer doesn't set the permissions correctly on the docker-machine-driver-xhyve binary. Can you try the sudo chmod/chown commands here:

https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/releases

(but switch it to your location)

[ashmckenzie]

Setting the correct perms as described in the brew into output fixed this for me :)

[jimmidyson]

Perhaps we can add some validation of the plugin binary & give more feedback to user if they hit this?

[dlorenc]

Yeah we should do that before #270.

[cmoulliard]

I have followed the suggestions but minikube can't be started with xhyve on MacOS

@cmoulliard do you have VBox installed and eventually VMs running already, i.e. boot2docker?

[cmoulliard]

Virtualbox is installed but not running. I'm using docker-machine and not longer boot2docker

[rhuss]

@cmoulliard but docker-machine with Virtualbox uses a boot2docker.iso under the hoods. Could you fire up your VirtualBox UI and ensure that not VM is running ?

I remember darkly that I had a similar issue yesterday.

[cmoulliard]

No VM is running within VirtualBox when I launch minikube

[rhuss]

Just retried it in various combinations (create a VBox VM, stopped it, created then a xhyve VM, ...), everything works like expected with 0.6.0 ;-(

[cmoulliard]

Been able to boot the VM after many attempts.

[dlorenc]

We should look into making this more reliable.

[dlorenc]

We see this failure sometimes in our CI test runs.

[Jaware]

rm /Users/.../.minikube folder,rerun start will work

[npvisual]

I have had a similar issue (Machine didn't return an IP after 120 seconds) after an unsuccessful installation of fabric8 (0.4.72) on minikube (0.10.0). Removing the .minikube folder AND issuing a minikube delete seeme to have done the trick.

[dlorenc]

I think the @zchee has fixed a bunch of these issues in later xhyve-driver releases. Please re-open if you're still seeing this.

[kyr0]

Saw it just by now. Definitely had the permissions on xhyve driver set up correctly and everything. The only thing that helped out was:

`sudo rm -rf .minikube `

And retry:

`gofabric8 start`
