Unable to create machine

Open Source Projects DockerEngine
1

Hello,

I was using boot2docker previously and everything was working fine. Now when I upgraded to using Docker Toolbox, I am unable to create a new virtual machine.

I am even unable to import the virtual machine that was used with boot2docker.

I get this error when trying to create a new machine:

C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\kitematic\resources\resources\docker-machine.exe -D create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 default returned non zero exit code. Stderr: Converting from raw image file=“stdin” to file=“C:\Users<redacted>\disk.vmdk”… Creating dynamic image with size 20971520000 bytes (20000MB)… Error creating machine: exit status 1 You will want to check the provider to make sure the machine and associated resources were properly removed.

And I get this when trying to import the old vm that boot2docker used:’

C:\Users\pmandayam>docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-import-boot2
docker-vm boot2docker-vm docker-vm
Creating VirtualBox VM…
Error creating machine: exit status 1
You will want to check the provider to make sure the machine and associated reso
urces were properly removed.

Assistance, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Do you get any more information regarding the ‘exit status 1’ if you rerun your docker-machine command in debug mode? -D will turn on debug.

This is solved now. When upgrading to docker-machine from boot2docker, I did not install the Oracle VirtualBox properly. But now it is resolved.

I had the same problem, when I checked the VirtualBox log in default, I saw there’s issue loading vbdrv. I managed to fix it by uninstalling DockerToolbox, manually uninstall git, Virtualbox, reboot, and install DockerToolbox again, that made it work. Though I didn’t try to import the old vm.
