Common Causes
- Port forwarding is conflicting with an already existing VM:
Mon Jan 23 17:57:08 pid 43390: session launching...
port_fwd: failed to bind 0.0.0.0, port 59000: Address already in use
port_fwd: listen(-1): Bad file descriptor
ankahv: failed to add rule tcp:59000:0.0.0.0:5900, error 9
ankahv: failed to start: Bad file descriptor
- Intel Anka version was installed on ARM and then not fully uninstalled when ARM version was obtained and installed.
- You are logged into the machine with 1 user, then SSHing in as another.
- Your anti-virus is blocking the processes from starting.
Solutions
- Re-install 2.5 and run
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Veertu/Anka/tools/uninstall.sh
. - Log into the UI with the user you’re using for SSH.
- Disable all anti-virus software.
