dashboard as root: Unsupported authorisation protocol / cannot open display: localhost:10.0

[farooqte96]

Hi i just installed minikube on a remote linux machine (Ubuntu 16.04 server version). I am able to start minikube but to see running deployments, minikube dashboard command is reporting some errors like unsupported authorization protocol, missing modules (chrome browser, mozilla etc.). Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue so i can see dashboard on my local pc by accessing : http://192.140.127.45:30000

What browser do you have installed? The minikube dashboard command works by calling "xdg-open" with the correct URL, which is supposed to open your browser to the right page.

From that error, it looks like xdg-open is trying to open many different browsers but is unable to find any installed ones.

[farooqte96]

Thanks @dlorenc for addressing my query. I am using firefox. I reinstalled it and after some troubleshooting i am able to get minikube dashboard command running correctly but in browser dashboard is not shown instead "unable to connect" message is displayed on http://195.148.127.245:30000/. It also returns some error messages related to permission of configuration files. Do you understand whats the issue here?

I too have the same issue

[steventarver]

I am seeing this issue as well on Macbook Pro (latest 10.13..3) - with k8s version 1.7.5. I updated VirtualBox to latest, deleted ~/.minikube, and downloaded v0.25.2.

Could not find finalized endpoint being pointed to by kubernetes-dashboard: Temporary Error: Endpoint for service is not ready yet
Temporary Error: Endpoint for service is not ready yet

In earlier minikube versions - I would clearly see the dashboard pod listed in kubectl.
Haven't found any dashboard mentions, or other interesting things in the minikube logs.
I minikube delete and then started v1.9.4 and the dashboard worked fine.
Still scratching head...

If I revert to minikube 0.22.0, without a minikube delete, then start k8s 1.7.5, kubectl get pods --all-namespaces shows the dashboard pod and minikube dashboard launches perfectly.

Hope this info helps

I think this might be because i am doing this as a superuser.
But to run docker I needs to be superuser according to my knowledge.
I am a beginner so I might have wrong knowledge.
Help!

[Ankk98]

Yeah
Found the problem!
Actually, I was running my terminal as a superuser so my it was not able to access browsers.
Running as a simple user solved the issue.

Also
The issue of "Waiting, the endpoint for service is not ready yet..." was because it node not started.
So you need to wait for some time depending on the system and try again to solve this problem.
Meanwhile, you can check
kubectl get pod
Wait until the you see it running and check again.

[tstromberg]

Closing now that this has been root caused as being due to running as root, but this is really our fault for not mentioning early that minikube should not be run as root. Opened #3138 to address that.
