Hi everyone!
I have troubles installing OpenFoam for windows.
I follow every steps, everything seems to be well but when I finally click on OpenFOAM_Start (I launch it as administrator since I read that on a forum) I get a message and the shell close (so fast that I had to print the screen to be to read it).

The error message is :

FATA[0000] Error: failed to start one or more containers
FATA[0000] Error response from daemon: no such id: of_plus_300

I reinstalled everything 3times... I don't know what to try... :/

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
few questions: what version on windows are you running?
Any previous installation of virtualbox on you box?
When you were uninstalling before installing again, have you removed the files in:
2) You should additionally remove the following files manually;
C:\Users\$UserName\.boot2docker
C:\Users\$UserName\.ssh
C:\Users\$UserName\.VirtualBox
C:\Users\$UserName\VirtualBox VMs/boot2docker-vm
as described here:
http://www.openfoam.com/download/txt...adme_v3.0+.txt

It solved my problem. Have you followed the intallation steps in this document?
Especially step 2?
Btw. you do not need to run it as administrator as far as I know (at least on W7 pro).
Else you can try to run boot2docker (icon created on the desktop). and type:
docker ps -a to list all containers registred for the docker.
Is the of_plus_300 listed?

hope this helps.
Matej

I am struggling to get past the first hurdle having finished installing Openfoam on windows. Below is the text from the command window that appears upon trying to run Openfoam_start. Any suggestions as to what my problem is?

Thanks

run boot2docker (icon created on the desktop). and type:
docker ps -a to list all containers registred for the docker
Also type docker images . Let me know the output of both .

[arussell92]

I reinstalled everything one more time and it appears to be working now, it may have had something to do with it not being reinstalled properly and restarted enough times after enabling hardware visualisation, thanks for the help regardless.

Hi all,

I have the same error message:
The error message is :

FATA[0000] Error: failed to start one or more containers
FATA[0000] Error response from daemon: no such id: of_plus_300


I installed OpenFOAM 7 times following the guide. I will appreciate any help,

Carlos

Do these two step and let me know output of these
1) run boot2docker (icon created on the desktop). It will open a terminal windows
now type: 'docker ps -a' to list all containers registered for the docker.
Is the of_plus_300 listed? .

2)Also type command 'docker images' from boot2docker terminal .
Post the output from both .

Hi pgh,

Please find in the following link the screen captures I obtain when I follow your suggestions.

Hi Carlos
The snapshot shows that openfoam image is there but no container. Please click on OF_Env_Start shortcut to create container.

[Carlos.cuba]

Hi pgh,

Yes, following the guide I clicked on OF_Env_Start before I clicked OpenFOAM_Start. Just in case I did this again. In the ftp site below please find the new messages I get and the videos I obtain when I clicked OF_Env_Start and OpenFOAM_Start.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Carlos
