"Docker Desktop stopped..." vm has not started

[artemave]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: 7c1ff673-e3b7-490d-bb42-9cf6464710df/20230127140634

Expected behavior

Docker desktop works.

Actual behavior

Docker desktop is stuck with "Docker Desktop stopped..." message.

Information

• Linux distro: Fedora
• Distro version: 37
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.16.2

It's interesting that I was able to use docker desktop after the initial install. It was all fine, but I think I had to kill it at some point later as I noticed it was hoovering up 100% cpu... From then on it stopped working. Reinstalling didn't help. Reading through the diagnostic, "vm has not started" seemed relevant, hence it's in the title.

I have the same issue as above.

• Linux distro: Fedora
• Distro version: 37
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.16.2

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install docker engine
2. Install docker desktop
3. First run I got "Docker Desktop Stopped

This is a fresh install and I tried installing Docker Desktop as I have before on this distro just fine. Docker engine seems to run fine, but Desktop just says stopped.

I can pull images just fine, but Docker Desktop shows nothing. It looks like Docker Desktop cannot find the engine or some permissions are wrong. I do not know how I would have done that though.

@artemave @MaxxRK have you tried this docker/for-mac#6527 (comment) ?

[artemave]

@dhanyn10 That comment is osx specific, but I tried to uninstall and remove everything docker related (I could think of) from my machine, upgrade all the things and reinstall docker desktop, but to no avail.

I ran into the same Problem and I fixed it by enabling VT in my pc Here is How you can do it
Enable Virtualization in BIOS:
Restart your computer and enter BIOS settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, F12, Delete, or Esc during startup, depending on your hardware).
Look for an option related to virtualization technology. It might be named something like "Intel VT-x" or "AMD-V". Ensure it is enabled.
Save the BIOS settings and restart your computer.
