Docker is installed but isn't running on Ubuntu 22.04 #792

Hm, in Ubuntu 22.04 you don't actually need Docker. You only need Could you please run |
Hi! Thanks a lot for your quick response. The initial mistake was that I need to run it with root privileges but the menu access does it as my standard user. But when I run it with sudo, I get this error: Converting document to safe PDF

Actually, that's not a mistake! It's best to run Dangerzone as a non-root user, as most GUI applications. Could you perhaps run it instead as your regular user and post the logs here? Also, let's check for some common reasons for failures:

And yet, Podman attempts to create a temporary directory for a different user ( Let's dig deeper. Can you write down the output of the following commands?
As for running Dangerzone as root, it's a use case that's unfortunately not supported (and to be frank, it would be best avoided). You may make it work, but our best bet is actually fixing your Podman installation, so that you can run Dangerzone as your regular user. |

I installed Docker Desktop on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS following the instructions on the official website.
