I am following a beginners tutorial for installing Docker on Windows using WSL2.
It’s one of the first tutorials/lectures here in this course.
https://www.udemy.com/course/docker-and-kubernetes-the-complete-guide/
I did everything as told so far. To verify that my docker setup is OK,
at the end the tutorial is telling me to just run docker
inside my
default WSL Linux Distro (which is Ubuntu, that’s how it came).
So I ran docker
but I got this error.
/mnt/wsl/docker-desktop/cli-tools/usr/bin/com.docker.cli: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /mnt/wsl/docker-desktop/cli-tools/usr/bin/com.docker.cli)
/mnt/wsl/docker-desktop/cli-tools/usr/bin/com.docker.cli: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /mnt/wsl/docker-desktop/cli-tools/usr/bin/com.docker.cli)
Trying to fix the error I upgraded all Linux packages which were upgradable.
Still no luck. Seems it’s saying it needs higher version of GLIBC than mine.
But also, I see no way to further upgrade my GLIBC version. Right?
What should I do to fix this issue?

I upgraded my Ubuntu version by following the instructions given here.
https://askubuntu.com/a/1428481
Now my version is
22.04.3 LTS
.And it seems that solved my problem. Now I am not getting that GLIBC error when I run
docker
from within the Ubuntu command prompt.I don't know why by default WSL2 doesn't install directly this version
22.04.3 LTS
. Not sure what's the point of having to upgrade it manually later on.just put in terminal:
