Impossible to change memory size

[lakeba-solutions]

Expected behavior

Change memory size

Actual behavior

Grey out Advanced page

Information

Docker for Windows Beta on Windows 10

• Diagnostic ID from "Diagnose & Feedback" in the menu.
• a reproducible case if this is a bug, Dockerfiles FTW
• page URL if this is a docs issue or the name of a man page
• host distribution and version (Windows version, build number, etc)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Start docker
2. Settings
3. Advanced

All is grey out, no way to change the memory size and CPU number.

That suggests Docker is not up and running yet. Can you run containers? Please upload a diagnostic dump, if possible.

All solved with the nightly update.

@lakeba-solutions awesome, thanks for following up.

Hello @lakeba-solutions, thank you for addressing this, and sorry to dredge up a closed issue for you, but I am still limited to 2 CPUs and 2 GB Ram because these settings are disabled in my installation. I have docker for windows beta, installed using the msi package from the docker-for-windows page. I would like to use the build in which this problem was fixed. I found the nightly builds here. From the msi package, I am currently running version 1.13.0-rc4, while the latest nightly build is 1.14.0. However, I have already installed 1.14 once manually, but that installation does not work with my linux images. When I try to load a one, it seems to behave as if it's a Windows image, giving errors "File already exists". This is because Windows is not case-sensitive, so file names that differ only in case conflict with each other.

Anyhoo, the msi package seems to be the only thing that works with linux images on Windows, because it has some additional functionality that allows switching betwen Windows and Linux mode. The regular build doesn't seem to have this ability to switch between container types, as described in this article. There is no GUI, nor DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon. So is there currently any way I can run a linux image on Windows and be able to change the CPU and memory settings? Thank you.
