I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and am trying to install Docker-ce but get this error:
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status docker.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript docker, action “start” failed.

As a newbie to linux I am kind of lost as to how to fix this, and would be grateful for any/all assistance in resolving this installation issue.
Thank you.
