I also faced the same issue. I am using the newest version of Virtualbox, Minikube and Docker. I think there is some bug that need to be fixed. I am using MacOS Catalina.

Hopefully #7565 will fix this issue.

@Tayyab30 - I don’t yet have a clear way to replicate this issue. Do you mind adding some additional details? Here is additional information that would be helpful:

• The exact minikube start command line used
• The full output of the minikube start command, preferably with --alsologtostderr -v=4 for extra logging.
• Does this happen on the latest version of minikube?

Thank you for sharing your experience!

@Tayyab30 We haven't heard from you in awhile, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. If it remains an issue, feel free to reopen it with the details requested in the post above.

Thank you!
