For posterity (myself included): I had the same error. I stopped wsl (
wsl --shutdown), and restarted podman after that (from Podman Desktop). The error vanished.To anyone who might find it helpful even when this issue is closed. In the latest podman version 4.8.3, you can try enabling User mode networking while setting up the machine. It worked for me. By default, it is disabled during machine setup.
@bathivinod it’s like you’re not able to contact the podman VM at all, even if it says it’s running. Maybe you’re behind some proxy, vpn, firewall?
What if you try to force kill it with
wsl --terminate podman-machine-default?The other thing you can try when it stopped it is opening the
process explorertool (download it from here if you don’t have it https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer#installation ). ClickFind->Find handle or DDl-> typedocker_enginein the search -> select the handle and kill it ( repeat the process by searching usingpodman-machine). Now try to start the podman machine again.Or to be sure
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for trying everything. I don’t know what’s going on here so i’m just throwing all the things i can think of on the table.
@bathivinod ok good, atleast we made some progress. have you tried something that is suggested here? https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5401
wsl --terminate podman-machine-default was success unable to find
docker_engineandpodman-machinefromprocess explorer.podman machine rmwas successpodman machine initfailed
