colima: Keep getting error runing colima FATA[0001] error starting vm: error at 'starting': exit status 1

@arditarapi what OS are you on? And what is the output of colima list?

Does qemu work better?

colima start --vm-type qemu

Thanks, i face issue where my colima start show error

FATA[0001] error starting vm: error at 'starting': exit status 1 

with colima list it shows this:

PROFILE    STATUS    ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK     RUNTIME    ADDRESS
default    Broken    aarch64    4       8GiB      60GiB     

then i search in the readme,

https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#broken-status

after i do

colima stop --force

then i do

colima start

it worked again, thanks for the hint!

@pengisgood kindly do a reset.

colima delete
colima start

I understand if it is a duplicate, just wanted to share as I have been pouring over the boards trying to resolve my issue too. Not trying to bring drama, just wanting to figure out what has affected the x86 version. I can confirm that everything is working fine for me on my M1.

I’ll check the link you shared. Thank you!

In the latest version this is a duplicate of

• https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/777#issuecomment-1694654255

(and several others).

There has been an enormous amount of drama on this over the last couple of weeks, as far as I understand it affected Intel/amd64 only, and it should be sorted out (again) now.

Right after brew install colima:

$ colima start

I was getting the same issue today. For me it turned out to be an old version of limactl that was conflicting with colima. After uninstalling the old version, it worked for me.
