ddev does not find docker

[sl5net]

i tried using ddev with Linux Kubuntu.

it looks as if docker is installed (because it talks to me Warning: Stopping docker.service) but ddev does not find docker. what else can try?

i did as proceeded as described here:

https://t3terminal.com/typo3-tutorials/install-typo3-docker-ddev/

means:

// Install DDEV
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drud/ddev/master/scripts/install_ddev.sh | bash

// Install mkcert
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
mkcert -install

// Check DDEV works well?
ddev

$ ddev config
… Project name (temp-test): test
… Docroot Location (current directory): 
Found a php codebase at ~/github/temp-test. 
… Project Type [backdrop, drupal6, drupal7, drupal8, drupal9, laravel, magento, magento2, php, shopware6, typo3, wordpress] (php): laravel
… You may now run 'ddev start'. 

~/github/temp-test$ ddev start
Could not connect to docker. Please ensure Docker is installed and running.

So i found this tip's here: Docker can't connect to docker daemon :

~/github/temp-test$ sudo service docker stop && sudo service docker start
Warning: Stopping docker.service, but it can still be activated by:
  docker.socket
~/github/temp-test$ ddev start
Could not connect to docker. Please ensure Docker is installed and running.
~/github/temp-test$ sudo service docker start
~/github/temp-test$ ddev start
Could not connect to docker. Please ensure Docker is installed and running.
~/github/temp-test$ sudo service docker restart
~/github/temp-test$ 

it looks as if docker is installed (because it talks to me Warning: Stopping docker.service) but ddev does not find docker. what else can try?

Didn't we just go through all this on Stack Overflow? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69189529/how-do-i-install-and-configure-docker-on-ubuntu-like-systems-kubuntu/69196951?noredirect=1#comment122310852_69196951

No response here but the active discussion will continue in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69189529/how-do-i-install-and-configure-docker-on-ubuntu-like-systems-kubuntu/69196951?noredirect=1#comment122310852_69196951 if necessary. Closing this, happy to continue the conversation over there. Sorry you're getting stuck on this. It look like you should have it working perfectly.

I just bumped briefly into this issue and fixed it just by restarting docker desktop.
