Cannot remove a single container

I have several containers running. But one of them is unaccessible via cli. I got

06:25 $ docker stop nexus
Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.19/containers/nexus/stop?t=10: EOF. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?
Error: failed to stop containers: [nexus]

docker daemon is running. All the other containers can be stop, restarted and so on.

In /var/log/upstart/docker.log i see

ERRO[1351] Error streaming logs: invalid character 'l' after object key:value pair 
ERRO[1351] Error streaming logs: invalid character 'l' after object key:value pair 

I am running docker 1.7.1. Restarting the whole maschine doesnt helped. Any hints for me?

Thanks,

Guido

Hello @gzockoll , could you resolve this issue? It looks like this is a 1.7.1 bug for what I have been reading, but I still have those “zombie” containers lying around. Have you found any way to remove them safely?

Thank you.

Is the Docker container running? What is the output of
docker ps
