Hamachi does not seem to be running.

[MaliciouZzHD · Accepted solution]

I know this thread is very old, however I had the same issue today, and I managed to fix it by issuing the following commands:

user@ubuntu:~# hamachi login

Hamachi does not seem to be running.
Run '/etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start' to start daemon.

user@ubuntu:~# service logmein-hamachi stop
user@ubuntu:~# service logmein-hamachi start
user@ubuntu:~# systemctl enable logmein-hamachi #Start hamachi at boot
user@ubuntu:~# hamachi login

[root@localhost administrator]# sudo /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi login
Usage: /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi {start|stop|restart|force-reload}
[root@localhost administrator]# hamachi login
Hamachi does not seem to be running.
Run '/etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi start' to start daemon.
[root@localhost administrator]# hamachi join network
Hamachi does not seem to be running.

why to start hamachi on centos 7 ?

On what kernel are you guys ?

I have 2 box on Debian 9 - 4.9.xx and it works but on proxmox 4.15.xx  and on pi 4.14.xx (armhf, beta so I don't cry) nope.

Give the output of

uname -r

Edit:

After testing again actually, it doesn't work everywhere. Must be an issue with lib. Let's wait the next update.

Edit 2:

After debugging with hamachid debug, I discovered it was an ipv6 error. (so on my network)

10.06 10:30:57.051 tap: ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) IPv6 err, 13, Permission denied
10.06 10:30:57.051 tap: if_config() -> 0
10.06 10:30:57.052 vpn: tap config done, [failed]
10.06 10:30:57.052 vpn: tap config failed, retry. [1]

Fixed by enabling ipv6 in /etc/sysctl.conf (if you have that issue, you already know how to reverse it)

I suggest you all

sudo /opt/logmein-hamachi/bin/hamachid debug > hamachid.log

for ~5 seconds. And find a way to exit. Read the log and fix errors.
