Do you mind sharing the output of:

minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=8

I'm curious what certificate it's breaking on.

I'm not sure which PEM file libmachine is trying to verify at this point. Do you mind sharing the output of:

grep "^--" ~/.minikube/certs/*.pem

I'd also be curious if this workaround works:

minikube delete
rm -Rf ~/.minikube/certs

Thanks for the additional information!

@qasimgit - The error suggests that you should install VirtualBox. Have you done so?

@qasimgit it appears to me your issue was solved and the second issue was virtualbox not being installed .

in the next version of minikube we will notify user nicer that they dont have the virtualbox or other hypervisor installed in more elegant way.

@tstromberg Thank you so much for the workaround! I had the same problem (with installed virtualbox and kvm drivers) and the commands you shared resolved it!

minikube delete
rm -Rf ~/.minikube/certs
