Minikube: Error in driver during machine creation: unexpected EOF (hyperkit SIGSEGV)

[jerneyio]

BUG REPORT

Please provide the following details:

Environment: Mid-2015 MBP

Minikube version (use minikube version): v0.28.2

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): OS X 10.12.6
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): hyperkit
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION): minikube-v0.28.1.iso
• Install tools: brew
• Others: N/A

What happened:
When running minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit --disk-size=10g I get the following output:

Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...
Starting VM...

 160.27 MB / 160.27 MB [============================================] 100.00% 0s
E0827 12:49:10.980153   55310 start.go:174] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: unexpected EOF.

Initial, when running this command, I received an error that there wasn't enough space on my device, hence the disk-size flag. That got me past the storage space issue. Then I ran rm -rf ~/.minikube and tried again (minikube start..., but received the above error instead.

I've tried what was prescribed here: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/867

What you expected to happen: I expected the command to start Minikube

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
For me, it was just a matter of following these instructions: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):

F0828 07:37:16.948685   99692 logs.go:50] Error getting cluster bootstrapper: getting kubeadm bootstrapper: getting ssh client: Error dialing tcp via ssh client: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none publickey], no supported methods remain

Thanks in advance for your time!

Just to add to this, some of the folks I work with are also getting this issue. Here is the output when running minikube 0.28.0 on a MPB 15:

I'm getting the exact same error here, but I didn't get the storage space issue beforehand.
It was still working few days ago, then it stopped working out of sudden.

Has anyone successfully resolved it? If not, what are the information that you need? Maybe I can help to provide more logs.

[vxavictor513]

Turned out it was because I included a Python bin folder in my system path.

Not sure which Python package was interfering with Hyperkit, but it is now working after commenting out the following command in ~/.bash_profile.

export PATH=~/Library/Python/2.7/bin:$PATH

I believe this issue was resolved in the v1.1.0 release, so long as the hyperkit driver has been updated as well using:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit \
&& sudo install -o root -g wheel -m 4755 docker-machine-driver-hyperkit /usr/local/bin/

Please try upgrading to the latest release of minikube, and if the same issue occurs, please re-open this bug. Thank you opening this bug report, and for your patience!

[kiranbaddi]

I am using minikube version: v1.5.2 and yet I get the same error when I am trying to start minikube.
I have also updated the hyperkit drivers as suggested by @tstromberg

[technolingo]

Me too, tried updating hyperkit as above. Didn't work. :(
