StartHost failed, but will try again: creating host: create: precreate: We support Virtualbox starting with version 5. Your VirtualBox install is "WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.\n\t Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate\n\t headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.\n\n\t You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.\n5.2.34_Ubuntur133883".

Hello @muhammadrizwan316

The VirtualBox installation on your machine is both very old, and incompatible with the kernel version installed on your machine. Please upgrade to VirtualBox 6.1:

• Ubuntu guide: https://computingforgeeks.com/install-virtualbox-6-on-ubuntu-debian-linux/
• VirtualBox downloads page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Alternatively, if you are running the latest minikube (v1.9.3), I recommend avoiding VirtualBox and using the newer Docker driver which is the default on Linux:

• minikube delete
• minikube start --driver=docker

Please let me know if this helps. Thank you!

@muhammadrizwan316 I haven't heard from you

Meanwhile have you tried out newest driver Docker Driver with latest version of minikube?
you could try
minikube delete
minikube start --driver=docker
