Docker Hub Issue Tracking
#1
  • Issue type : Docker Starting takes forever, after installation
  • OS Version/build : Linux 22.04
  • App version : 4.12, installed from debian package
  • Steps to reproduce:

Hello there, so I just follow the installation steps Install Docker Desktop on Ubuntu | Docker Documentation, plus also the pre-requisite Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu | Docker Documentation, and also add my local user to the docker group as mention in the post-install link, I also did log out and log back it, or did the newgrp docker, still no luck

then, I simply did systemctl --user start docker-desktop which opens my docker, I click accept, and it just hangs there in “Docker Desktop starting…”

Here are some maybe related logs:

  1. sudo docker run hello-world
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
