I love solving problems and blog here about Python, Docker, IT automation and technology.

If you are using Ubuntu 24.04 and trying to start Docker Desktop, you may encounter issues with the application not starting. This is a common problem, but there’s a simple workaround.

To resolve this issue, run the following commands:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0
systemctl --user restart docker-desktop

These commands adjust the AppArmor settings and restart Docker Desktop, allowing it to run properly.
