Hello community, i am in need of your help in installing docker and docker-desktop in ManjaroLinux. My distro version is 22.1.0.

I have tried installing docker using pacman and starting the docker service using

systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker
But I am not able to run any containers. With error
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: unable to retrieve OCI runtime error 
Docker-desktop: I try to install it using the links provided in the docker - docs
But when I run the application, it is stuck in an endless loop in the “docker engine starting”… screen.
Please find my system details below -

Is it because of the "“runc version: N/A” above?
Any help in getting this to work is much appreciated.
To get docker working i use these commands
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm docker docker-compose

sudo systemctl start docker.service;sudo systemctl enable docker.service

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
after that make your docker-compose.yml
finally
sudo docker-compose up -d
Hope it works for you, i dont use docker-desktop so can’t help with that.
              
thanks for your response. I had tried these steps but could not get it to work.
however, I removed the installation and deleted the directories for docker. after installing and starting/enabling the service I restarted my system. don’t know if the restart was the issue but it started working magically.
I appreciate your suggestion though. have a good day.
              
thank you for your inputs… However, I had tried updating subuid and subgui, but could not get it to work.
Will check if there is any other alternative, as you rightly said, its difficult to get it to work properly.
