Launch failed: Operation canceled after interrupting image download

[nav9]

Describe the bug
Ran multipass launch --name node1. It started downloading Ubuntu. I realised I already had an Ubuntu ISO on disk, so pressed Ctrl+C to stop the download. Since then, everytime I try running the same command, I get the error Launch failed: Operation canceled.
How could you guys not allow us to use a local ISO? And once an operation is canceled, why wont you allow it to work again?

Additional info

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1
• multipass version 1.7.1

@nav9 you can't use an ISO, you need to use a preinstalled cloud image. And you can use a locally downloaded one, see the docs:

https://multipass.run/docs/launch-command

snap restart multipass if the Operation canceled issue persists.

[nav9]

Thank you. So it would help to add the following string to the error message "Please run snap restart multipass to try again.".

Actually I'll reopen this as a bug since it should not be required, even if you interrupted the download.

Can confirm similar behavior on MacOS. There is no snap so I'm not sure what to restart.

Thanks @nav9 for the multipass service restart workaround.

@nzagorsky for macOS the commands are:

sudo launchctl stop com.canonical.multipassd
sudo launchctl start com.canonical.multipassd

Can reproduce on windows. Anyone have workarounds? :)

[Saviq]

@luojia65 if you're still stuck, a Restart-Service Multipass should help.

If anyone is having this issue on windows, restarting Multipass service from Task Manager resolved it for me.

Can confirm that this is currently still a problem in Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and lastest snap of multipass.
