This fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick work ! :)

@stephenpope did you build the minikube with the updated pr yourself? to get the update.
i.e. how did you update the minikube with the fix?
sry. I'm kind of new to this :)

[stephenpope]

@AGutan I found you can download builds of specific checkins from the CI so I grabbed the #2550 fix from : https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube-builds/2550/minikube-linux-amd64

[ctyjrsy]

sorry I am new to this whole ecosystem, where do you put the binary once you download? in the path?

@ctyjrsy

The following worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04.

You may need to prefix some commands with 'sudo' and supply your password if you get permissions problems.

1) Find where your existing minikube executable/binary is located, using something like:

locate minikube
or
which minikube

My minikube was in /usr/local/bin directory.

2) Save that existing minikube executable binary, for example:

cd /your-to-your-directory-containing-minikube
mv minikube minikube.wontStop

3) Download the patched binary into the same directory (which is probably in your path) from the link given by @stephenpope (Thank you)

cd /path-to-your-directory-containing-minikube
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube-builds/2550/minikube-linux-amd64 (or use curl)
mv minikube-linux-amd64 minikube

4) Make the file executable (if not already)

chmod +x minikube

5) Check if minikube will stop now.

minikube stop

I'm still getting this error even with v0.25.2. I rolled back to the version posted above by @stephenpope and it started working again.

@tebb solution worked for me on ubuntu16.04

[georgecrawford]

I'm also seeing this in v0.25.2. @dlorenc Can you confirm that your fix is working and is included in this latest release? Thanks.

[daniel347x]

Just mentioning that without the patched version linked by @tebb, minikube is unusable for me. I hope this fix is pushed out urgently.

I would really like this to happen ASAP. Thank you all :)

@stephenpope / @tebb solution also worked for me on ubuntu16.04 - I was unable to start the cluster without this patched version
