Docker Desktop is not starting in Ubuntu 24.04

Docker Desktop wouldn’t start on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Found out it’s not yet supported, but fixed it with a single command.

After installing Docker Desktop following the official instructions it wasn’t starting, even after rebooting the computer. Searching for a solution I found a thread in AskUbuntu mentioning that Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not yet supported by Docker Desktop (last checked on JUN.2024). For some reason I missed the big blue Note with this information in the documentation (maybe it should be red since is something important?).

The fix suggested was very simple and worked for me just after one run:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0
Bash

I hope this helps others that have missed this information too.
