corectld fails to start

[rrva]

corectld fails to start after installation. I start it as a user without admin privileges, then I get a privilege escalation prompt, enter password.

$ corectld start -d -u rrva -D coreos.local -r 8.8.8.8:53,8.8.4.4:53

hi!
some quick questions ...
a) corectld start -d -u rrva also fails ?
b) past plz full output of sudo corectld start -d -u rrva until it fails

and thanks in advance for your patience!

[rrva]

sudo /Users/rrj/bin/corectld start -u rrj -D coreos.local -r 8.8.8.8:53,8.8.4.4:53 works fine

[AntonioMeireles]

hmm. rrj or rrva ?

[rrva]

oops rrj it is :)

[AntonioMeireles]

so, no bug, right :-) ? or i missing something ?

[rrva]

it did not work when running through GUI directly after installation, but now its not reproducible.. some state got fixed when running corectld through sudo once. the output I pasted was wrong anyway, since I forgot "sudo". Maybe something is not working 100% for users which do not have admin privileges. I can close this, if it reappears for other users then it must have to do with that my user "rrj" has no local admin privileges, I use a separate admin user for that.

[AntonioMeireles]

@rrva ok && many thanks!

[rrva]

Oh, I think I know what fixed it. I had another DNS server listening on :53 which I do not need and stopped it, forgot that. I think what is missing is that you get the output of corectld start or at least a hint to run sudo corectld start ... manually and check the output.

I think it would be helpful to mention that there should be nothing else hogging port 53, either in the docs / readme, or in the error message that is returned. I had the same problem of the app not starting, which was only fixed after disabling dnsmasq. In my personal opinion, the issue should be reopened.

@valentin-krasontovitsch thanks for the advice, I did update the corectl.app readme, and in the mean time we are looking to that DNS issue on corectl tool.

here we go https://github.com/TheNewNormal/corectl.app/releases/tag/v0.2.5, notifies if port 53 is in use
