A user on github found a solution for this problem. THX to SCIF. https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/6203
It seems docker.io installed runc once in the past in /opt/containerd/bin/runc/. This old version there and the regular (newest) one in /usr/bin/runc/ let us non-nvidia-runtime-users ran into this problem. With a "whereis runc" it is possible to check if there is a second runc- runtime. If so, it helps to delete this very old version under /opt/containerd/bin. After deleting this version for me everything works perfect again, even with the latest version of docker.io on ubuntu 18.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1950071 Title: failed to create shim: OCI runtime create failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io/+bug/1950071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
