Try to:

  • Deactivate Secure Boot from your bios system;
  • Then run sudo /sbin/vboxconfig in case you install and use virtualbox 6+
  • Then minikube start

NOTE: This error is a sign of a failed VirtualBox installation. The solution is to reinstall VirtualBox. We should direct users to do so. This may help isolate the specific failure as well:

sudo modprobe vboxdrv
