Need Help Launching Docker on Linux

Asked By TechyNerd123 On

Hey everyone! I'm trying to launch Docker on my Linux machine, but I keep running into an issue. Whenever I attempt to launch it, I get an error message saying that KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is not enabled on my host. The error even shows: 'checking HostHasVirtualizationSupport: stat /dev/kvm: no such file or directory'. This seems to be linked to virtualization support. I've looked at the Docker documentation about configuring KVM virtualization, but I'm not sure what steps to take. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you're trying to run Docker Desktop on Linux, which isn't really recommended. Instead, you should consider using Docker Engine directly. Docker Engine works better on Linux since it's designed for it. Also, make sure your BIOS has virtualization support enabled! This is usually found in the BIOS settings under CPU options. If you have further questions, feel free to ask!

I agree with CleverFox88! Try using Docker Engine instead. It’s more suitable for Linux systems than Docker Desktop. Also double-check that virtualization is enabled in your BIOS; that's often the key issue. Let us know if you need more details!
