Can't launch or start instance

[RobinJ05]

Describe the bug
When I first installed multipass via homebrew it all worked perfectly. After I closed the lid of my MacBook one evening, the next morning nothing worked anymore. I completely uninstalled multipass with it's provided uninstaller script and deleted all homebrew caches. I freshly installed it but it won't work anymore. I tried every possible solution I could find but nothing seems to help.

To Reproduce
How, and what happened?

1. multipass launch 22.04 -n primary -c 4 -m 4G -d 10G
2. everything workes fine, I can use the VM
3. close the lid and go to sleep
4. next morning try to continue working

Expected behavior
What did you expect to happen?
I expected multipass to continue working. At least after I completely reinstalled it.

Hi @RobinJ05, unfortunately this looks like another occurrence of #2387. Take a look at that thread and give some of the suggestions there a try. If nothing helps, let us know!

[RobinJ05]

Hey @sharder996, I took a look at the thread and tried everything that might have helped. Unfortunately I'm still encountering the same issue.

[sharder996]

Do you have the same issue when trying to launch new instances? Also, ff you don't mind, could you post the contents of /var/db/dhcpd_leases?

[RobinJ05]

Yes, the issue also persists if I try to launch new instances.
I surely can post the contents of the dhcp_leases

{ name=primary ip_address=192.168.64.3 hw_address=1,52:54:0:2d:56:8e identifier=1,52:54:0:2d:56:8e lease=0x6591d061 } { ip_address=192.168.64.2 hw_address=1,8a:e0:55:6a:38:af identifier=1,8a:e0:55:6a:38:af lease=0x6537b6ea } { name=iPhonevonRobin ip_address=192.168.2.2 hw_address=1,b6:56:e3:96:45:db identifier=1,b6:56:e3:96:45:db lease=0x651c4209 }

Have you turned on Internet Sharing by chance? System Preferences ->General -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing
Turning that on breaks networking for the VMNet framework.

[RobinJ05]

No I only have enabled the Printer and Bluetooth Sharing but not the Internet Sharing.

After the latest macos update (14.3 (23D56)) everything went back to normal.
