I've installed Docker and Docker Desktop on my Ubuntu 20.04 VM using this guide:

What I've tried

1. I've restarted docker with sudo service docker stop / start

2. I've clicked restart with the Docker Desktop dropdown menu on the top right of my Ubuntu Desktop.

3. I've added my user to the docker group.

What steps can I take to debug this? Is there anything obvious I'm missing?

Thanks!

I had the same problem over debian 11 and Docker desktop 4.8.1

(!) If you are using linux inside a VM, verify virtualization support: Docker Desktop runs a VM that requires KVM support.
