Error running docker in docker

[jpetazzo]

Thanks for the bug report. I honestly don't know where it could come from; but the fact that you're running 12.10 worries me. Do you think you could try again with 14.04...?

I have since upgraded my machine to 14.04 Linux Mint 17.

I seem to get a new message.

On my machine I: Docker version 1.1.2, build d84a070
Inside Dind it is Docker version: Docker version 1.2.0, build fa7b24f

I can only get inside the first box, not load a box inside that.

I have this problem as well, but only with some containers.

@moosilauke18, can you try running a base image like ubuntu:14.04 from within docker? That one works for me, while one of my application containers fails (others work).

[jrandall]

Actually, nevermind - just realized that it appears to effect all containers when running docker-within-docker with --privileged

Closing old issues.
