Internal Error after installing on second account: com.docker.osx.xhyve.linux failed to start

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

I should be able to install (or use) and run Docker on two different accounts on the same computer.

Actual behavior

After installing docker as user1 and using it successfully, I switched to user2, clicked on the already installed app, re-enter invitation code, and get internal error at start.

As shown by info below, clearly an issue with permissions.

Information

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. I have two accounts on the same computer (say, user1 and user2)
  2. I installed Docker as user1 and it worked while logged as user1
  3. I then switched to user2, and clicked on the Docker app icon to start. Docker will ask again for invitation code and go through migration process
    4.- Get Internal Error and exit
    5.- Start again, and get IE again after a couple of seconds

I’m replying because I have the same issue.

On my MacBook Pro I have a personal account and a work account. I like to keep a clear separation.

My expectation is that when I fire up docker, each account will get its own instance/vm.

Failing that, I would like to kill the other user’s instance - maybe by using a privileged command.

3

I have the same issue and now docker app refuses to start on both accounts.
Tried deleting the affected files, still no good.

4

I guess I’m a little more fortunate in that mine still works from the original account.

OTOH: I wouldn’t expect it to work on two accounts at the same time.

5

Hasheno, is that the case even after a reboot?

6

In my case, the original account (i.e. the account I used for original installation of the docker beta) works, and the second account never works. Not sure if always, but at least in some cases, once I login to the second account, the first account stops working until I reboot.
