any docker command gives error: bad symbol table

I installed the docker engine successfully and no error or warning is shown. But after that, whenever I try any docker command, even docker ps, I get this error:

runtime: pcdata is -2 and 76 args stack map entries for net/http.(*Transport).dialConn (targetpc=0x55afd17107cb)
fatal error: bad symbol table

I cound not find any answer through search and didn't find similar problem anywhere on the internet.

I thought maybe there is a problem with Go, so I installed go and ran a program with it successfully, but still no success with docker.

1. please check there is enough space in /var by df -h /var command
2. Check and make sure you are installed and running docker in root or admin access
3. Try delete the contents from /var/lib/docker and start the docker again
4. Also try getting logs by running systemctl status docker or serivce docker status
5. Check if any other service which blocks docker
6. check by disabling firewall and selinux getforce to be permissive
7. If you are using device mapper try clean that up and restart docker service
8. Check if there is any release notes on unbutu where there is known bug which blocks the system to start it

Get info on the system configuration and service/systemd stutus logs and post it to look for specific errors

I cant post all these checks in your comment itself since i am posting it in answer section , and this is not a answer rather suggesting you to check something

Update : Please try this link https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/665 and the command,no sure if the same command works for ubuntu, but give it a try

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
