fail to execute docker exec

lately, as I try to execute

docker exec -it <container> bash

it gives me this error

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: open /dev/pts/0: operation not permitted: unknown

on every container I try that command on, what's happening? I'm on arch 5.18.10 with pacman -Syu executed today

Re: fail to execute docker exec

Any chance your kernel was updated today?  Did you reboot?

Re: fail to execute docker exec

yeah I rebooted indeed after the kernel update, as always. Can you replicate?

Re: fail to execute docker exec

Sorry, I would not know docker if it bit me on the arm.  Just looking for the low hanging fruit.

Re: fail to execute docker exec

id; stat /dev/pts/0

Edit: https://serverfault.com/questions/10488 … o-terminal
Likewise strace docker to see what and maybe why it wants to do w/ the pts

Re: fail to execute docker exec

I executed

id; stat /dev/pts/0

and this is the output

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
  File: /dev/pts/0

to strace docker I need to do something like this?

strace docker exec -it <container_name> bash

edit: if I restart docker service the problem is no more, is like it pops up again after some time, need to pin it down better, I will keep you updated
