Docker don't get any response in Linux

General
1

I installed docker a few moth ago on mxlinux to use nginx for hosting flutter web. Everything was good. After a while I need my docker so when I run docker ps in terminal the command stuck here:

alt@mx-alt:~$ docker ps

Nothing is shown, even an error.

docker help or docker version are not response like above.

I checked it’s services and docker service is working :

alt@mx-alt:~
$ sudo service docker status
[ ok ] Docker is running.
alt@mx-alt:~

This is result of ps command:

alt@mx-alt:~
$ ps aux | grep docker

alt@mx-alt:~

I stopped docker service :

alt@mx-alt:~

$ docker version

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

alt@mx-alt:~

Any idea?

Unfortunately I did not have time to debug the problem so I clean installed my Linux and I installed again docker.

The details from the first post don’t provide any details to work with. Your commands lack the prepended sudo in fron of the docker command, though docker ps without it should at least indicate that the client could not connect to the docker daemon socket…

Agree, the bahavior looks strange. If I where you I would start checking all sorts of logs to gather more evidence.
