When I open up Docker Desktop, I get a "Docker Desktop stopped...". And when I open the Troubleshoot page, the "Restart" button is greyed out.
I've tried multiple things:
- Checked Virtualization is enabled - it is
- Tried the steps described here: Docker is running. Docker Desktop says "Docker Desktop stopped..."
- Checked that I was running the right desktop - Gnome.
Running service docker status

When I run the built-in diagnostic tool, using the command
sudo /opt/docker-desktop/bin/com.docker.diagnose check,
I get the following output:
Please investigate the following 3 issues:
1 : The test: can a VM be started?
Failed with: vm has not started: failed to open kmsg.log: open /root/.docker/desktop/log/vm/kmsg.log: no such file or directory
The Docker engine runs inside a Linux VM. Therefore we must be able to start Virtual Machines.
2 : The test: is the application running?
Failed with: Docker is not running
Is the Docker Desktop application running?
3 : The test: is Context set to a Docker Desktop context?
Failed with: CLI context is set to docker-ce engine
If the Docker Context is set to 'default', docker CLI is not addressing Docker Desktop engine.
#2 seems to still happen, even though I try to restart docker, and running sudo systemctl status docker shows that docker is running.
