we can't find a native setup

[suparek]

I have a question："we can't find a native setup.....", I have setup docker in my computer，my environment is Ubuntu kylin 16.10，why comes this？？？

[FrenchBen]

@suparek we try to look for the docker socket and talk to it - Can you provide me with the output of:
docker info
docker version
ls -l /var/run/docker.sock

I am also experiencing this on Solus.

@suparek Thank you for providing this great output.

As you've shown in your different commands, your current user cannot use docker version without using sudo - Kitematic will have the exact same rights as your current user, aka no rights to access docker if your current user cannot.

Please see the post-installation steps here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/linux-postinstall/

I've experienced the same issue but what i notice is that i did not run kitematic in SU

[ThiagoBfim]

This can happen because it's without sudo user.

execute: id -nG This will list all user that can use docker.

If your user has not in the list use this command:

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
su - ${USER}

Then restart the session and try to open kitematic.

Hope this helps.

[ImtiazeA]

I solved my issue following ThiagoBfim instructions.

[oshai]

For me, it didn't work. However, killing the process solved the issue.

ps -efww | grep -i kitematic

to find it.

[jcreforme]

how about running the command
sudo kitematic

[cardboardcode]

Following jcreforme's instruction worked for me.

I have a question："we can't find a native setup.....", I have setup docker in my computer，my environment is Ubuntu kylin 16.10，why comes this？？？

I had been installed several times, and I found a solution finally.

But, I don't know it's perfect solution for you.

It's very simple and i think it's a bug.

You try to run your Docker Desktop with Administrator privilege.

Have a good time.
