Check the timestamp the file is huge i'm a long time user of CRC ! 🥲

Please note that it has also been reported by a Podman Desktop user on Discord: https://discord.com/channels/852634929845239818/1085121643782873118/threads/1145952685464485938

anjannath · 2023-08-31T05:02:12Z

A crc cleanup did not help? I only face this issue, when there's another instance of the daemon running. Make sure there are no stray crc processes, if there are please kill those from the task manager and then try to run crc setup again.

I went through the discord thread, it seems that user tried to start the daemon manually and then run crc setup which will not work, there can be only one instance of the daemon running, so the scheduled task will just start and end immidiately, and the state will be "Ready" instead of "Running"

@jeffmaury can you please also share the content of ~\.crc\bin\hidden_daemon.ps1

crc cleanup did not help:

anjannath · 2023-08-31T08:36:02Z

So after debugging with @jeffmaury we found the cause to be the ExecutionPolicy which was set to Restricted.

To fix the issue we ran Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned and then crc setup successfully started the daemon process

@gbraad maybe we need to add a preflight check or custom action in the MSI to set the execution policy to allow to run posh scripts?

slemeur · 2023-08-31T08:46:49Z

Why was it setup to "restricted"? shouldn't be an error message explaining the error too?

jeffmaury · 2023-08-31T08:50:29Z

This is the default on Windows

the default effective policy is Restricted which prevents the hidden_daemon.ps1 script from running when started from the scheduled task this fixes crc-org#3812

the default effective policy is Restricted which prevents the hidden_daemon.ps1 script from running which is started from the scheduled task to run the daemon this fixes crc-org#3812

gbraad · 2023-08-31T13:13:23Z

yep; this is the default... and most likely why I can not repeat the issue: I have changed this policy :-/

gbraad · 2023-08-31T13:31:35Z

perhaps a GUI wrapper to handle this case might be cleaner (changing the policy might not be something that everybody can do).

the default effective policy is Restricted which prevents the hidden_daemon.ps1 script from running which is started from the scheduled task to run the daemon this fixes #3812
