Docker Desktop isnt working properly linux Ubuntu 24.04

[FlexLV]

Description

I followed the Docker documentation step-by-step and successfully installed Docker. However, issues began to arise when I attempted to install Docker Desktop. Initially, Docker Desktop opened with an error, and since then, it hasn't opened at all. Despite trying various commands, installing other packages, and running it through the terminal, it only runs partially and continuously displays a message saying "waiting for Docker engine to start," even though the Docker engine has already started. Now I'm stuck. I ran diagnostics, and the results indicate that the Linux VM isn't running and the Docker engine hasn't started, although it is already running. I also tried reinstalling using deb installation

Reproduce

for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done

Add Docker's official GPG key:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Add the repository to Apt sources:

echo
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin sudo docker run hello-world

(it runned fine)

modprobe kvm modprobe kvm_intel # Intel processors kvm-ok sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER

I'm having the same issue

I have the same issue with Docker Desktop not working on Ubuntu 24.04 but it reports that application has lost its connection with Xwayland instead.

I just installed docker desktop with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

1. run them like url https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

echo
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt-get update

2. run sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

3. install https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/149282/docker-desktop-4.30.0-amd64.deb?utm_source=docker&utm_medium=webreferral&utm_campaign=docs-driven-download-linux-amd64&_gl=1srqb3z_gaMTIxMTU0MDM4Ny4xNzEwODk3NzI1_ga_XJWPQMJYHQ*MTcxNTA2Mzg0Ni41LjEuMTcxNTA2Mzg2Mi40NC4wLjA.

4. run sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 systemctl --user restart docker-desktop

I have the same issue with Docker Desktop not working on Ubuntu 24.04 but it reports that application has lost its connection with Xwayland instead.

I'm using X11 with 24.04 think it isn't the issue

UPDATE https://github.com/docker/desktop-linux/issues/211#issuecomment-2097555794 works

make sure to run commands one by one and think there is a white space issue with the docker.list generation

adjusted:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
noble stable
```  to

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble stable

But big thanks!

Anyone got the lead on a way to get Docker Desktop running with the new security defaults in Ubuntu 24.04?

From what I've read in the release notes and in the AppArmor docs, this should be a case of making a profile for Docker Desktop in /etc/apparmor.d.

I tried doing this, by adding /etc/apparmor.d/opt.docker-desktop.bin.docker-desktop (named in accordance with the docs), with the following contents:

# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
# application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile docker-desktop /opt/docker-desktop/bin/docker-desktop flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  include if exists <local/chrome>
}

This is essentially a copy-paste job from the chrome profile given as an example in the release notes.

I then attempted to parse this profile into the kernel and reload the whole apparmor thing...

sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/opt.docker-desktop.bin.docker-desktop
sudo systemctl reload apparmor.service

After all this, Docker Desktop does boot up! But then gets stuck on the following screen:

Looking at the kernel log (sudo dmesg), I can see that it hit a trap:

[30582.754989] traps: Docker Desktop[49878] trap int3 ip:614d07488ad1 sp:7fff090163c0 error:0 in Docker Desktop[614d0386f000+800a000]

My guess is that I need to unconfine some other binaries which docker-desktop is drawing on, but I've run out of steam now so am wondering whether anyone else has made progress?

@freemvmt I haven't used apparmor but think you want to look at this thread https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/33060#issuecomment-1698935183 you probably need "docker-default" profile

thanks @darkjackx i forgot to execute some commands during my installation process

[hoipranav]
