Docker for mac hangs on startup

Expected behavior

When launching docker.app I expected it to start normally.

Actual behavior

However, it hangs indefinitely on status “Docker is starting”, image below

Information

OS X: version 10.11.4 (build: 15E65)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. download docker for mac
  2. startup the app
  3. app hangs indefinitely

This also happens for me - any news here?

I think this line in the logs may be important

Most specific failure is: the variables DOCKER_CERT_PATH DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY DOCKER_HOST should not be set

and a friend suggested that env vars for previous docker setups (e.g,. boot2docker) should be removed

Haven’t tried it yet though

The same happens for me Any updates?
