Can't properly install docker desktop after uninstalling it

Docker Desktop

Hello!

  • Issue type: Installation issue

  • OS Version/build: Ubuntu 24.02

  • App version: Latest

I’m trying to re-install docker after having uninstalled it (I messed up the steps).

Now I’m trying to follow the steps here (specifically step 2 of this link)
But when running that command I’m getting the following issue:

docker-compose-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package

I’ve ran apt update and upgrade accordingly but still bump into the same issue, I’m guessing this was due to a botched uninstalling process? (I did try following the uninstall steps on the official page).

Anyways any sort of hints would be really helpful! :slightly_smiling_face:

Okay, I’ve managed to solve this issue!

this is what I did:

  • sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

  • sudo apt update

(I basically followed this post)

I’ll move onwards with the install process and report back if I happen to bump into another issue. Have a nice < time of the day > !
