what result do you get if you run the command

defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.vmnet.plist Shared_Net_Address

that's interesting.. does that file exist? can you paste the contents here?

synic · Answer 5 · Mon Oct 31 2016 01:17:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It does not exist

what version of OS X are you on? have you ever successfully used a previous version of dlite? or xhyve? docker for mac?

synic · Answer 7 · Mon Oct 31 2016 01:27:14 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I'm on Sierra, a fresh install. I've used dlite before, but not on a fresh Sierra install.

Docker for Mac works

edit: I have also used dlite on a non-fresh sierra install. Maybe it's not a file present in Serria but just happened to be there because I upgraded?

it looks like the file may only exist if you've already run a vm that uses vmnet before, so this is kind of a chicken and egg problem. i'm probably going to add a fallback and assume a default so the init process can continue and if it turns out to be wrong i'll have to figure out a more robust solution

Is there a way I can cause the file to be created so I can use the prerelease?

sorry for the delay! i'll release another beta build today or tomorrow that doesn't need the file to exist. i added a fallback so it will use a default

I'm running also into this issue on 2.0.0-beta8 (same output on defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.vmnet.plist Shared_Net_Address) - is there any way to get past this error yet without building from sources? or could you release another beta build please?

nlf · Answer 12 · Wed Jan 04 2017 03:39:26 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

just released 2.0.0-beta9 that has a fallback in place for this issue
