Hey @KarthikReddy12345 thanks for opening this issue. It looks like minikube was unable to find the config.json file. Could you try running:

minikube delete
minikube start

Please comment here whether this solves your issue, or if you still see errors. Thanks!

medyagh · 2019-12-16T23:57:23Z

@KarthikReddy12345 do you mind trying with latest verison of minikube (v.1.6.1?

Hi murali,
Have you enabled the virtualization in your machine.
Enable Hyper-V on windows features then try to start minikube.
Thanks.

Karthik-Reddy-Tom · 2020-02-12T05:45:32Z

Hi @lmurali89
Please check virtualisation / Hyper-V is enabled or not.
If not then please open windows features and enable Hyper-v and reboot your machine.
Then open the powershell or CMD prompt as admin and try to execute the same above command. It will work.

Thanks

lmurali89 · 2020-02-13T09:25:31Z

Hi @KarthikReddy12345

Thanks for replying.

I did do those stuffs but nothing helped me. I am unable to figure out where the issue is.

I wonder if there is any hardware issue.

Hi @Imurali89
Please follow the below process,

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv (Start with this command)
Open Virtualization and create the Minikube Switch and in the memory option you could add based on the RAM. If your using 8GB RAM then use 2GB RAM particulary to minikube.

Try the above process and see.
Thanks

lmurali89 · 2020-02-27T06:11:44Z

@KarthikReddy12345 : I am using a 4gb RAM . Is that the problem? If yes, may i know how much to allocate?

I went into HyperV and have created a virtual switch with MiniKube name and it has got assigned with 1536 MB of RAM

lmurali89 · 2020-02-27T06:47:06Z

@KarthikReddy12345 :

Now my VM is running but when i checked the status of minikube, it is throwing me error. Please help.

Karthik-Reddy-Tom · 2020-02-27T11:43:21Z

Hi @lmurali89
There is a network communication problem. In the Hyperv > Minikube Switch network should be By default. please open settings of that minikube switch and in network select default switch. Please have a look in to the below image.

I had it changed and even after that, it is same. It is not going beyond booting the kernel. Also do you notice that kubectl error. May i know why is that coming?
