Apreciate help and any hint where to continue debbuging this issue

You could try a crc stop before retrying crc start, but not sure it will be enough. When there's an error during initial startup, crc is not very good at recovering :-/ You could try adding the needed unmask in pkg/crc/services/dns/dns.go before it tries to start dnsmasq, and see if this helps.

@souovan when using the system mode networking then qemu-guest-agent.service can be ignored because it use vsock-listen method which is only part of user mode networking. I would be more interested in the start/status logs. Can you try following and share the details?

$ crc delete
$ crc setup --log-level debug
$ crc start --log-level debug
$ crc status --log-level debug

[cfergeau]

it uses vsock-listen method which is only part of user mode networking.

For what it's worth, it should relatively easy to add vsock support to the VM on linux https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#vsock
Or we could at least add ConditionVirtualization=apple to qemu-guest-agent unit file since we only need it on macOS.

I tried this in crc-org/snc#914

Hi @souovan, a temporal fix to use OKD ~4.15 is unmasking the dnsmasq after first crc start error and restart the VM with crc stop and crc start.

crc setup
crc start
# Wait for the dnsmasq error

ssh -i ~/.crc/machines/crc/id_ecdsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no core@$(crc ip)
# In the ssh connection run the following commands
sudo systemctl unmask dnsmasq.service
sudo systemctl stop qemu-guest-agent.service
sudo systemctl disable qemu-guest-agent.service
exit # Exit from the ssh connection

crc stop
crc start

[praveenkumar]

Inside the VM dnsmasq service is not masked so I am not sure why it need to unmask.

I'm running into the same issue on fedora. Here are some logs I can provide. I also tried unmasking, enabling and starting dnsmasq.service myself which works without errors.

Hi @souovan, a temporal fix to use OKD ~4.15 is unmasking the dnsmasq after first crc start error and restart the VM with crc stop and crc start.

crc start
# Wait for the dnsmasq error

ssh -i ~/.crc/machines/crc/id_ecdsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no core@$(crc ip)
# In the ssh connection run the following commands
sudo systemctl unmask dnsmasq.service
sudo systemctl stop qemu-guest-agent.service
sudo systemctl disable qemu-guest-agent.service
exit # Exit from the ssh connection

crc stop
crc start```

This seems to work. Not sure if disabling the qemu-guest agent has any impact. for some reason the dnsmasq.service is masked inside the VM

@AlexStorm1313 Are you using crc with OKD bundle?

[AlexStorm1313]

@praveenkumar Yes that's correct.
