Hi, I am trying to set up Efabless on my VM by following the "Getting Started" tutorials from YouTube page. When trying to clone a repository, my virtual machine does not connect to docker even after successfully installing docker on my machine. Attached is my error.

@Fehintola Sangodeyi Does this help? https://open-source-silicon.slack.com/archives/C016H8WJMBR/p1595963142355000?thread_ts=1595939613.322500&cid=C016H8WJMBR

@Mitch Bailey Unfortunately this does not apply to me at this moment.

@Fehintola Sangodeyi what do these commands return?

Looks good. From the web here 1.

ls -l /var/run/docker.sock

Should be

660

with the user=

root

group=

docker

. If not, change it with

su chmod 660 /var/run/docker.sock

2. If the above is correct and docker still doesn’t work, reboot. Let us know how it goes.

Update: I was able to reboot the docker and continue with the installation. I ran the step 1 code and received this:

docker.sock

file looks good. Don’t know why klayout is crashing. Can you start klayout without a gds file?

Any suggestions on a klayout command?

You might try checking your graphic environment first. Does

xeyes

pop up a window?

yes

Good! What version of klayout are you using?

klayout -v

Can you start klayout without a gds file?

klayout -e

That’s unexpected. Can you ask on #klayout?
