I just found this other thread that might have saved me some trouble: Local not starting. Win 10 (3.0.2) stucked at "Checking System"
I suppose thats a more elegant solution than uninstalling everything
Hello @clay
Iām having the same issues with Local.
When I install it first and create a new website, I got an error: āCanāt retrieve the requested docker imageā.
And when I restart Local, it stucks on āStarting Local machineā.
I already uninstall and reinstall latest version of Local and VirtualBox and still having the same issues.
Hereās my log file: local-by-flywheel.log (78.2 KB)
Thanks
Hey @justinah ā
Iām seeing a number of lines that look like:
Apr 11, 2019, 6:17 PM GMT+1 - warn: [main/set-docker-env] Unable to get Docker Machine env. This usually happens when there is a kernel panic inside the VM. Attempting to power cycle VM now.
That makes me wonder if something was interfering with the initial setup of the VirtualMachine. Do you have any Antivirus software installed, or other security settings that would prevent VirtualBox from connecting to the Internet to download new Docker Images?
If this is the first time you are setting up Local and arenāt worried about losing any data within the Virtual Machine, you might try opening VirtualBox and deleting the local-by-flywheel
Virtual Machine by right-clicking on it and selecting āRemoveā.
Hey there!
Our new Local v5 (and later) doesnāt require VirtualBox which means itās way more reliable and faster to startup.

Happy coding!
