This oddly works on sudo.

It's not a Glances issue, you should have the same king of problem if you run the "docker ps" command with your user. Following this procedure should correct the issue: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

Another note, you use the Glances Debian package. It's an old version, it should be better, if you can (if your computer is connected to Internet) to use the standard Pypi installation. You need to remove the Debian package and follow the procedure.

docker ps -a works. I'll take a peek at this later and see. I think something got broken when I was adding a package in.

Also didn't know the discussions was a thing apologies... I learned something new.

The reinstall via PIP made it work! Thanks for the help!!
