dlite: dlite not starting correctly after reboot

Bug Reports

• dlite version in use (run dlite --version): dlite version 2.0.0-beta8

• expected behavior: dlite should start correctly after reboot and make my day the best day ever.

• actual behavior: dlite doesn’t start correctly after reboot and makes the reboot day the worst day ever.

• steps to reproduce I haven’t got a clue

TL;DR

Something seems to be wrong with extractUser, lookupUser or proxy on my machine, I don’t really know…

My story

After the first install dlite starts without any problems and runs great, but after a reboot it won’t start correctly. Directly after I log in I can find a dlite process but no hyperkit process in Activity Monitor. The dlite process is using 1-2 MB of RAM, which sounds small but probably isn’t anything weird.

docker ps returns an error

$ docker ps
Error response from daemon: Unable to connect to the virtual machine

dlite start runs into a timeout. (two dlite processes during this time and when it’s done one process is terminated and the original process persists)

$ dlite start
Starting the virtual machine: ERROR!
Timed out waiting for virtual machine

dlite stop runs into infinity and beyond until I press ctrl-c. (the dlite process is still running)

Running dlite stop again after this:

$ dlite stop
Stopping the virtual machine: done

(the dlite process is still running)

Debug mode activated

So I start digging and I find out that a some commands makes a HTTP POST request to http://127.0.0.1:1050/[command].

Running curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:1050/start returns Unauthorized Running curl -X POST --header "X-Username: emil" http://127.0.0.1:1050/start returns Timed out waiting for virtual machine Running curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:1050/stopreturns Virtual machine is not running (which is expected) Using Chrome and visiting http://127.0.0.1:1050/status also returns Unauthorized.

It seems like there’s something wrong with extractUser, lookupUser or proxy.

I have tried to uninstall everything (I think) and reinstall dlite but with the same results. I have tried to unload local.docker.plist and loading it again but with the same results.
