I ran into another issue. I can't start the application from the applications menu. A terminal window opens and quickly closes. I tried to open the application from the terminal and received a 'permission denied'.

Code:

$ chromium-armhf
Set host IP for Pulseaudio
Enabling XHost Forwarding
non-network local connections being added to access control list
Searching for Docker image ...
Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/images/json?filters=%7B%22reference%22%3A%7B%22hthiemann%2Fchromium-armhf%3Alatest%22%3Atrue%7D%7D": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
Found and using
"docker run" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker run --help'.

Usage:  docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

Run a command in a new container

The application can be run with sudo. Afaik, that is something to be avoided. Do you know any possible causes for that? Do you need any further information on the issue?

Thank you for your work. The effort of the Manjaro team in the development for the PBP is really amazing!

As docker is run as daemon in the background you need to be part of a specific ‘docker’ group to be able to use it from a normal user account.
To enable your current logged on user you will have to:
1. go to a terminal
2. run sudo usermod -aG docker <username>
3. log off and on again to activate the changes
4. you can check your group membership with the groups command in a terminal. It should list the docker group.

Added the user, as per your guidance, but the output is the following:

It does not work with sudo either.
