Docker not working with ubuntu 16.04 kernel v4.6.3. #23968

sauravskumar · 2016-06-26T19:31:03Z

Ubuntu 16.04 has some power management issues... so i had to upgrade the kernel to linux-image-4.6.3-040603-generic_4.6.3-040603.201606241434_amd64.deb . But since the upgrade docker is not running.

I tried removing docker completely and reinstalling it but 2 issues arise

aufs package is not being found for the current kernel version (but it is optional so fine)
when installing docker... it is stuck at setting up docker-engine forever.

I would like to confirm that docker was working perfectly fine on my machine with the default ubuntu 16.04 kernel version before the switch to newer kernel versions.

Can someone please help me to get things working. Thank You in advance.

Do the system logs show anything useful? Not related, but there's another issue about docker not running properly on a 4.6 kernel #23471

sauravskumar · 2016-06-28T10:08:15Z

Logs show nothing... as the terminal is hung up as soon as we try docker-engine install...
$ sudo apt-get install docker-engine
Can you please help?

thaJeztah · 2016-07-01T17:14:01Z

Sorry, I don't have easy access to a machine I can put a 4.6 kernel on

watchwithmike · 2016-07-08T00:38:15Z

I'm running into the same issue here on a brand new installation. Here are what I believe to be the salient points.

I ran a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop on a Dell XPS 13 9350
Under the guidance of Dell I installed Kernel 4.6.0 using these instructions.
Once installed my uname -r returns 4.6.0-040600-generic for which there seems to be no linux-image-extra package for.

My assumption is that we might be able to get this to work if we could find an appropriate linux-image-extra package for our kernel but I don't know where one would go about finding or building such a thing.

Command and log output follows. If there's anything more I can add please let me know.

Failed linux-image-extra install

thaJeztah · 2016-07-08T00:47:27Z

Alright, so looks like there's no package for that, so you won't be able to use aufs; can you start docker-engine using the overlay driver? --storage-driver=overlay on the daemon, or using an /etc/docker/daemon.json configuration file? https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#/daemon-configuration-file

watchwithmike · 2016-07-08T01:14:06Z

Sweet, that worked. I was dubious at first because it seemed like docker didn't actually install since dpkg hung but the docker service was installed but failing to start like this:

ww@deepthought:~$ sudo service docker status

After installing this /etc/docker/daemon.json

sauravskumar · 2016-07-08T03:13:38Z

Worked for me too... Thank You @thaJeztah @watchwithmike

thaJeztah · 2016-07-08T03:50:09Z

Good to hear, happy that we were able to find what's causing this. The "linux-image-extra" bit was the missing information :-)

I'm closing this issue for now, because the original issue was resolved, and kernel 4.6 is not a default install for Ubuntu, so for now I don't think there's anything left to be done. Feel free to continue the discussion though 👍

watchwithmike · 2016-07-09T00:21:30Z

@thaJeztah I agree this issue is worth closing but I'm wondering if another should be opened to address the fact that the /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/docker-engine.postinst configure script (and therefore dpkg itself) hangs on install when the linux-image-extra package is not present. Maybe a feature request for checking the presence of the library and if not present, starting the daemon with the overlay flag or inserting the daemon.json file on the file system?

I'm happy to open one if it's not going to just be noise.

thaJeztah · 2016-07-09T00:23:47Z

@watchwithmike agreed, we should look into that (although it's not an officially supported setup (non-standard kernel)). Feel free to open an issue

diogomoreira · 2016-07-19T14:26:48Z

Did the same as @watchwithmike, the output from sudo service docker status is the following:

But I can't run docker run hello-world. I get docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?.. Have you been through this problem?

thaJeztah · 2016-07-19T14:37:23Z

@diogomoreira does it work with sudo? sudo docker run hello-world?

diogomoreira · 2016-07-19T17:33:38Z

@thaJeztah it works! But it should work without sudo?

thaJeztah · 2016-07-19T18:45:11Z

@diogomoreira it doesn't work without sudo, because the default configuration is to connect with docker through a socket (/var/run/docker.sock), and the permissions of that socket don't allow access.

You can fix this by adding yourself to the docker group, and logging out/in, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/#/create-a-docker-group

diogomoreira · 2016-07-19T18:58:36Z

@thaJeztah it worked! Thank you very much! :)

farhatmo · 2016-07-29T14:53:45Z

@thaJeztah it's working for me also : --storage-driver=overlay . Thanks so much 👍

csaladenes · 2017-07-07T19:10:44Z

Fixing the Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. problem, for me this worked:

create daemon.json in /etc/docker/
put this in it:

{
"exec-root": "/path/to/docker/run",
"storage-driver": "overlay",
"graph": "/path/to/docker/lib"
}
then try: docker daemon
reboot
docker run hello-world should succeed now
