Hi Expert
I have started using GCP as of last month and quite recently i am experiencing issues with Cloud shell - does not seem to trigger a terminal. - with the error as “Cloud Shell is experiencing some issues provisioning a VM to you. Please try again in a few minutes.”. Have tried the below but all unsuccessful
- Confirming that my trial account is still active (not lapsed) and have money in my account
- Have tried using different machines and explorers; but same error persists
- Have tried triggering different VMs in various regions - no success
Any suggestions, support recommendations to resolve the matter will be appreciated
Hi @utariq_260
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
You can have some options on this:
-
In the Cloud Shell Menu, you can select Restart and a pop-up dialog shall ask for confirmation on Restart Cloud Shell. After this, a new VM shall be provisioned for you to use.
-
You can also do safe mode to login as root and check any problem in your .bashrc or .tmux.conf files, to see documentation click here.
-
After doing safe mode, if necessary, you can also get a completely new cloud shell state by following this link.
For more information you can check this official documentation.
I hope this information is helpful.
If you need further assistance, you can always file a ticket on our support team.
