In my case the problem was that the installation of docker expects to listen events from another socket.
I went to /var/log/docker.log and the last line of the log was saying:
“API listen on /mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock”
So wat i did was: go to /var/run and run:
sudo rm docker.sock && sudo ln -s /mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock
Basically I created a symbolic link between the two sockets. This fixed the issue.
