Answer 1

I too had a similar issue and was able to fix by,

colima delete
colima start

Found this solution in Colima's issue section in GitHub - FATA[0000] error starting vm: error at 'starting': exit status 1

You can check Colima's issue section for similar issues and associated discussions.

Answer 2

I also had the same problem with macos ventura, the only solution that fixed it for me was:

brew uninstall colima
brew uninstall docker

after that i tried to install colima without docker:

brew install colima

then, as expected, i have colima complaining that there is no docker dependency

So, I install docker:

brew install docker

And finally, i installed colima:

brew install colima
colima start 

this was the only solution that worked for me.
