I have just installed docker and pulled their official ubuntu image following their documentation installation tutorial.

However, when I get to the point of executing a command in a specific container, I end up with the following error:

Error: Cannot start container f6e1084236794548bbd5cd059f46f916367106bf38ec24ad30ceefb9fb015291: fork/exec /var/lib/docker/containers/f6e1084236794548bbd5cd059f46f916367106bf38ec24ad30ceefb9fb015291/root/.dockerinit: invalid argument

it happens either I run: sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash or just a simple sudo docker run busybox echo hello world!.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Thx.

  • I haven't, but maybe you can provide some more details on operating system, installation steps, etc. Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 9:38
  • I have installed it using their tutorial here: docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/…, the host operating system is ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit, theoretically it should be OK. Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 9:56
  • Which version of Docker are you using? They just changed versions to 0.9. Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 14:06
  • docker --version 0.9.0 Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 14:19
  • I experienced a similar problem with version 1.0.1 Commented Jul 2, 2014 at 4:15

I had this issue with a custom OVH kernel. Installing a stock kernel helped.
