I am trying to install docker according to the instructions.

However, the very first command fails on my system:

root@fracz:~# apt-get install curl linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-2.6.32-042stab120.11
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-extra-2.6.32-042stab120.11'

I suppose that uname -r should return something newer, but I have no idea how to update it. I have seen similar problem for 16.04 version and I'm afraid the answer there may not be valid for 14.04.

Is it a VPS system? – Pilot6 Jan 30 '17 at 19:18
Yes, it is VPS. – fracz Jan 30 '17 at 19:18
That is why you have this old kernel. And there is no linux-image-extra-virtual on Ubuntu. – Pilot6 Jan 30 '17 at 19:21
So there is no option to update it? – fracz Jan 30 '17 at 19:21
Just skip it. I do not see a reason to install these packages at all. There may be other problems with that kernel though. – Pilot6 Jan 30 '17 at 19:22
I have tried that, but then after installation the service docker status tells me that the docker is running but the docker run hello-world tell me that it Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.. – fracz Jan 30 '17 at 19:41
A bit late but you need to run it with sudo – Greg Apr 28 '17 at 13:39
