[jicowan]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG

Please provide the following details:

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version): v0.24.1

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Darwin Kernel Version 16.6.0
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): kyperkit
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION): minikube-v0.23.6.iso
• Install tools: curl
• Others:
  The above can be generated in one go with the following commands (can be copied and pasted directly into your terminal):

minikube version
echo "";
echo "OS:";
cat /etc/os-release
echo "";
echo "VM driver": 
grep DriverName ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json
echo "";
echo "ISO version";
grep -i ISO ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json

What happened:
Received the following error when starting minikube:
E0115 11:20:51.968242 82457 start.go:156] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: IP address never found in dhcp leases file Temporary Error: Could not find an IP address for da:d7:e9:90:e3:a4

What you expected to happen:
Should expect minikube to start

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

: minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit -v 10

Anything else do we need to know:
I have a dhcpd_leases file, but it is not updating.

On subsequent attempts to start minikube with the hyperkit driver, I get the following errors:

Duplicate of https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1926?

[jicowan]

Seems like it. I couldn't tell if there was a fix or workaround from reading through the thread. @alanbrent says he got it to work by deleting hyperkit.pid, but that file doesn't exist on my system. I tried deleting dhcpd_leases and re-installing the hyperkit driver, but that had no effect. The dhcpd_leases file wasn't re-created either.

[slatunje]

I am facing the same issue as @jicowan and I .minikube/machines/minikube/hyperkit.pid did not exist either

[alanbrent]

@slatunje @jicowan it appears that the cases not covered by the workaround I found should have been fixed in the 0.25.0 release. Specifically PR #2417 should have fixed it.

[jicowan]

This is still an issue with the latest versions of minikube and the hyperkit driver.

[bpasson]

PR #2417 only fixed the issue of minikube getting assigned a new IP on every stop/stop cycle. Minikube not being able to find the IP address of the machine is a different problem.

[joeljohnston]

I'm having this problem as well. Started as soon as I installed minikube 0.25.2. Can't workaround or resolve. I've uninstalled Docker for Mac, the hyperkit driver, the xhyve driver, deleted the .files in ~/ and reinstalled all from scratch. No effect. Please advise.

[lokeshmadan]

I am in the same boat. Any update on this ?

[ctaggart]

I ran into this issue on v0.23.0, but not on v0.25.0.

[n3ur0m4nc3r]

I'm experiencing this in v0.26.1 and v0.27.0 is there a fix/workaround for the issue?

I've been running into this issue on and off for the longest time.

Today after hours of bumping my head against the wall, I realized what the bug is. I do not know what causes it though, but at least here's a lead:

When you run minikube start, you will see:

Using UUID 1398ae48-9515-11e8-a435-9801a79d827d
Generated MAC e:6:21:a2:d0:10

Now, if you cat /var/db/dhcpd_leases you will notice a new entry, however, the new entry will not match the "Generated MAC"

The new entry will look like

{
        name=minikube
        ip_address=192.168.64.73
        hw_address=1,to:to:ll:y:wrong:mac:address
        identifier=1,to:to:ll:y:wrong:mac:address
        lease=0x5b9ae147
}

One work around you can use right now to fix the issue is to manually specify a UUID and MAC address, here's how:

edit ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json search for UUID and set the value to 1398ae48-9515-11e8-a435-9801a79d827d

edit /var/db/dhcpd_leases and add the following entry:

{
        name=minikube
        ip_address=192.168.64.73
        hw_address=1,e:6:21:a2:d0:10
        identifier=1,e:6:21:a2:d0:10
        lease=0x5b9ae147
}

You might need to change the IP Address to something else.

Now start your minikube again and it should finally find the IP.

[bpasson]

It seems to be a weird problem as the generated mac is supplied to hyperkit to use for the virtual machine. You'd expect hyperkit to then use that mac to get an ip using dhcp. Maybe something changed in the hyperkit driver. At least worth investigating.

[tstromberg]

This issue appears to be a dupe of #1926

It's worth noting that this seems to be a fairly widespread issue for HyperKit users, and one we plan to prioritize the resolution of. My apologies for the inconvenience.
