If you want to use the "none" driver, you need to delete the machine with the "virtualbox" driver.

If you want to run a VM in a VM, you need to make sure your system supports nested virtualization.

In order to change resource allocation (disk and memory size), you need to first delete the old one.

Related to #4730, better docs needed

This is not a standard minikube platform

[sharuk123]

how to ensure my system supports nested Virtualization .

i could see enable nested VT-x/AMD-V is checked in my desktop VM and even inside my linux box VM , please suggest .

please suggest ,what is the best way to install minikube platform?

[sharuk123]

i installed minikube in my windows and successfully logged in . when i start minikube dashboard i am facing following error. Unable to enable dashboard: running callbacks: [sudo test -d /etc/kubernetes/addons && sudo scp -t /etc/kubernetes/addons && sudo touch -d "0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000" /etc/kubernetes/addons/dashboard-ns.yaml: Process exited with status 1 and below error: C:\Program Files\Kubernetes\Minikube> kubectl cluster-info dump Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

@sharuk123 seems like a connection error, are you using virtualbox driver on windows?
there are some issues with virtualbox networking.

could you try docker driver with latest version of minikube? (v 1.9.0 or higher) ?
minikube start --driver=docker

[medyagh]

@sharuk123
I haven't heard from you, I am gonna close this issue
Meanwhile have you tried out newest driver Docker Driver with latest version of minikube?
you could try
minikube delete
minikube start --driver=docker
