Upon upgrade to the latest one on my Mac, I keep failing to start up the primary VM.
What do I do?
Hi, @itaru! If you can, please tell us what backend you are currently using (you can get it with multipass get local.driver) and possibly any logs about the issue (look here for how to access them). This could give us a clue about what is happening. Thank you!
It’s qemu.

Multipass tries to start its instance and eventually fails.
I was able to create a new instance though.
