Hi @sanchit0592, it sounds like virtualbox is possibly misconfigured. Have you made any changes to minikube and or virtualbox?

I would suggest updating minikube and virtualbox to the latest versions, and restarting the process. Make sure to run minikube delete --all as suggested.

Also, if you don't mind, could you provide minikube logs?

Please attach (drag) thelogs.txt file to this issue which can be generated by running this command:

$ minikube logs --file=logs.txt

This will help us isolate the problem further. Thank you!

Hi @sanchit0592, we haven't heard back from you, do you still have this issue?
There isn't enough information in this issue to make it actionable, and a long enough duration has passed, so this issue is likely difficult to replicate.

I will close this issue for now but feel free to reopen when you feel ready to provide more information.
