Cannot connect to the Docker daemon after failed pull

When I try to pull a certain docker image, my pull fails, and then prevents me from connecting to the docker deamon again until I reboot my laptop. The Image in question is an official Jupyter images which works fine on my other machine. Restarting the Deamon does not help, but rebooting my laptop does.

I tried to docker system prune -a already, that's why there are no images on my laptop anymore. Does somebody have an idea how to fix this problem?

I think the problem might be connected to one of the images not finishing it's extraction.

EDIT

I have the same problem with a alpine image. see below

me@mylaptop $ docker images

Solution

  • Solved it. The problem is that my kernel was/became to old.

    The warning below by systemctl brought made me find this post on forums.docker.com

    me@mylaptop $ systemctl status docker

...

    I'm running Manjaro so I upgrade my kernel with this command:

    sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux54

    After which docker worked again.
