Ubuntu 14.04 apt-get install docker-engine fails #23365
Comments
Looks like there's a partial install already, can you try uninstalling? |
That looks odd, never seen that one. Actually; looks like a misconfiguration on your computer; see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80277/whats-the-difference-between-a-normal-user-and-a-system-user. |
|
I have already tried purging and reinstalling. It doesn't help. |
|
Can you check the configuration I linked to? |
|
Hello, I have a similar Issue on Debian Jessie, I tried reinstalling the package but nothing changes
Output for journalctl -xn
|
|
@ghigi123 did you have docker running on that machine before, or a fresh install (docker was never installed on it?); this message "There are no more loopback devices available." seems to indicate an issue with the device mapper loop device, possibly running out of space |
|
It is a fresh install, approximately 40 Gb are available on my disk |
|
@ghigi123 how did you install docker ? I found you use loopback for Debian. what configuration did you do for that ? |

And now I can install docker-engine without errors. I guess that solves my particular issue. Thanks for the pointer. |

@simonas88 good to hear! I wonder why those values were set incorrectly; it's the first time this was reported, so may have just been an incident, but I'll keep an eye out if there's other people running into this. I'll close this issue for now |
|
I also had this issue installing on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Editing /etc/login.defs as suggested by @simonas88 fixed it. |
|
I had the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04, the /etc/login.defs fix worked for me |
|
@justincormack think we should add a check for this to the check-config.sh script? |
|
I just encountered the same error trying to install docker on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS following instructions from https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/.
|
@simonas88 @thaJeztah |
|
I get the same error, for me this was fixed by adjusting my ufw policies. |
|
/etc/login.defs fix resolved this for me as well |
|
I found this happens when multiple storage drivers are exist in OS. docker cannot be installed correctly if multiple drivers found. |
|
I'm going to lock the discussion on this issue, as it starts to collect all possible causes for the daemon not starting. The original issue was resolved, and the solution for the issue reported here can be found in this comment #23365 (comment) |
