docker terminal: waiting for an IP

Question

when I launch my docker quickstart terminal, It was clogged by \"waiting for an IP\" and no response at all.

Could someone tell me how to deal with?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I managed to get past the problem through the following steps:

• Start the Oracle VM VirtualBox desktop application.
• Select and manually start default virtual machine.
• Close virtual machine window and choose to Send shutdown signal.
• Run Docker Quickstart Terminal.
• (optional) Right-click on default virtual machine and select Showin the Oracle VM VirtualBox desktop application to monitor virtual machine boot process.

After performing the steps above, I the Docker Quickstart Terminal window displayed:

                    ##         .
                  ## ## ##        ==
               ## ## ## ## ##    ===
           /"""""""""""""""""\___/ ===
      ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~
           \______ o           __/
             \    \         __/
              \____\_______/

docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100
