Docker Desktop Arch Linux

[javierpalma]

Hey Guys! I’ve installed Docker Desktop on my x86_64 Arch Linux machine. The issue that I have is when I open Docker Desktop it stays loading and I can’t see my images and containers. I attached two screenshots so you can see what’s happening. Also when I open Docker Desktop and I open my terminal at the same time and I type docker ps it displays this message "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///home/imjavierpalma/.docker/desktop/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? ". Later I have to close Docker Desktop and type docker context ls and then change it to the default context so I can use docker in my terminal.

I hope you can help me or advise me. Thanks!

Have you installed Docker Community Edition as well? If Docker Desktop is not running but changing context helps, it must be an other docker engine in the default context.

The Arch package is experimental according to the documentation, but you can try to collect some log mesages
