[SOLVED] docker will not pull images

I'm kinda noob with docker (and arch for the same matter), but the instructions on how to made docker work are pretty simple, I don't there's much to screw up. Here's what I'm getting when I try to pull an image (as root) :

# docker pull  ubuntu

Anyone knows wtf is going on? I am suspecting that what I do need is aufs. Running `cat /proc/filesystems | grep aufs` yields nothing. I don't see anything in oficial repositories either, there's aufs3 in AUR, but that requires custom built kernelm and I'm not sure that I want to go that far just to be able to run docker. It's my understanding that docker should run on almost anything, so what the heck.

Ideas?..

**UPDATE**: I just downgraded a kernel to linux-lts, and same issue

Re: [SOLVED] docker will not pull images

1. Is the docker daemon running? If so restart it and check journalctl for any errors. If not, start it and check for errors.
2. You don't need and aufs kernel. Docker uses devicemapper automatically when aufs isn't available.
3. Post your 'docker info' output.
4. If you still have troubles, stop the daemon, delete everything in /var/lib/docker (save anything you need to save!)  and restart the daemon.

Re: [SOLVED] docker will not pull images

removing everything in /var/lib/docker worked out. Thanks
