Environment:

minikube version: v0.25.2
os:ubuntu 18.04 -- in the vmware and memory 752mb

i search this issues , answer is memory too low . i not get the information with kvm memory need in the offical website . so how many memory kvm need to start minikube?

2GB by default. You can adjust this setting using --memory down to 1.5GB, but failures might happen:

minikube help start | grep memory
      --memory int                     Amount of RAM allocated to the minikube VM in MB (default 2048)

Just curious, what's does this command output on your machine?

grep "^Mem" /proc/meminfo

@tstromberg : note that the default is 2G memory + 1G swap (some of which is actually being used!)
