Description

I installed colima but when I try to run it I keep getting the following error:
colima start --vm-type qemu
INFO[0000] starting colima
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
INFO[0000] preparing network ... context=vm
INFO[0000] starting ... context=vm

[hostagent] Shutting down the host agent
[hostagent] failed to exit SSH master
[hostagent] Shutting down QEMU with ACPI
[hostagent] failed to open the QMP socket "/Users/paraspandey/.lima/colima/qmp.sock", forcibly killing QEMU
[hostagent] QEMU has already exited
exiting, status={Running:false Degraded:false Exiting:true Errors:[] SSHLocalPort:0} (hint: see "/Users/paraspandey/.lima/colima/ha.stderr.log")

This seems to be an issue with latest Qemu update. lima-vm/lima#1742.

Downgrading seems to work for now.

curl -OSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/dc0669eca9479e9eeb495397ba3a7480aaa45c2e/Formula/qemu.rb
brew install ./qemu.rb

As a side note, the next minor version v0.6.0 would include bundled dependencies so issues like this would no longer arise.

Thank you, @abiosoft downgrading worked for me

Thanks. Downgrading qemu from 8.0.4 to 8.0.3 worked for me.
