Kubernetes dashboard keeps pending with message: no endpoints available for service "kubernetes-dashboard"

Question

Heeey all, I need some help with getting the dashboard to work. My dashboard pod has status "Pending" and if I do a curl call to http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard then I get this result:

"no endpoints available for service \"kubernetes-dashboard\""

{
  "kind": "Status",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {},
  "status": "Failure",
  "message": "no endpoints available for service \"kubernetes-dashboard\"",
  "reason": "ServiceUnavailable",
  "code": 503
}

All pods

core@helena-coreos ~ $ ./kubectl get po --namespace=kube-system

I also tried to find some logs:

core@helena-coreos ~ $ ./kubectl logs kubernetes-dashboard-1775839595-1h0lt --namespace=kube-system
core@helena-coreos ~ $

I've got a really hard time to figure out why things are pending

Already thanks in advance.

You don't have a scheduler running so it can't schedule any containers.
