It can not find VM. See docs.
If VM is already installed, try to start minikube with --vm-driver=VirtualBox argument. (You can replace VirtualBox with Hypervisor installed on your machine)
Hope it helps.

Note: minikube v0.35.0 will no longer show the bug report URL for this common case.

I had this problem today; the cause was that I had installed the snap version of minikube, and it couldn't find VBoxManage in the snap's path. Fixed by removing the snap (snap remove minikube) and downloading the minikube binary instead.
