docker error: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Question

while running docker commands, I keep getting such error:

$ sudo docker search mattdm/fedora
2014/06/05 22:12:25 Error: Get https://index.docker.io/v1/search?q=mattdm%2Ffedora: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

I'm using Fedora 20 x86_64 without any http proxy.

I searched with google, but failed to find any clue of this, and have no idea how to troubleshoot this error, could anyone give me some prompt on fixing this?

here is some additional info may help:
