Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):

BUG REPORT

Please provide the following details:

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version):
minikube version: v0.28.2

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
  macOS 10.13.6
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName):
  DriverName": "hyperkit"
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION):
  minikube-v0.28.1.iso
• Install tools:
• Others:

What happened:
minikube doesn't successfully start / hangs

What you expected to happen:
Minikube starts

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
I've tried basically every variation:

minikube start -vm-driver hyperkit
minikube start --vm-driver hyperkit --bootstrapper=localkube
minikube start --vm-driver xhyve
minikube start --vm-driver xhyve --bootstrapper=localkube
minikube start --vm-driver virtualbox
minikube start --vm-driver virtualbox  --bootstrapper=localkube

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):
see attachment
minikube-logs.zip

Anything else do we need to know:

when using localkube it tries to pull k8s.gcr.io/pause-amd64:3.1, which cannot work:
kubernetes/kubeadm#962
(check journalctl-localkube.log in the zip)

I have stopped, deleted the minikube VM and also deleted ~/.minikube and ~/.kube between runs.

I've only attached log files from hyperkit, the same issues pop up when using the other drivers.

downgrading to 0.25.2 also doesnt help because of the localkube issue.

Is there any way to get minikube running on macOs??
I give up.

[mpern]

so, turns out that dnsmasq will f* everything up for localkube

sudo brew services stop dnsmasq
brew uninstall dnsmasq

at least I can now start minikube with --bootstrapper=localkube

I have the same issue with Windows 7 and VirtualBox

On OSX i found that running dnsmasq and setting the listen-address=192.168.64.1 worked for me. The problem seemed an issue with network traffic not being able to get out and reach the internet to pull the docker images.

• minikube delete && rm -rf ~/.minikube ~/.kube
• sudo rm /var/db/dhcpd_leases
• brew install dnsmasq
• /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf and edit to taste. (uncomment listen-address and set it to the gateway)
