@subratasen please try to update your docker

I had the same problem that was solved after the docker upgrade.

Maybe related to #5610

If so, this issue is resolved by installing latest hyperkit.
hyperkit is installed with docker for mac together.
So, if you upgrade docker for mac to latest version, this issue may be resolved.

I'm going to add version check of hyperkit to prevent this.

[afbjorklund]

You shouldn't need to install docker, just to run minikube.

[medyagh]

@subratasen could you please check if upgrading your Hyperkit would fix this ?

[burdiyan]

Looks like hyperkit driver for minikube doesn't work without Docker for Mac, even with hyperkit installed with Homebrew. I've been doing lots of tests with that, and no luck, unless you install Docker for Mac.

[burdiyan]

Perhaps, vpnkit is what Minikube also want with hyperkit driver? Because that seems to be the only piece missing without Docker for Mac. And you can't install vpnkit with brew apparently.

[priyawadhwa]

Hey @subratasen are you still seeing this issue? It seems that doing the following might help:

• upgrading docker if you have it installed
• upgrading to the latest version of hyperkit
• upgrading to the latest version of minikube

Please let us know if that doesn't help!

[nicknovitski]

I can confirm that the issue is still present with the latest versions of hyperkit and minikube, on macOS catalina.

😄  minikube v1.6.2 on Darwin 10.15.2
✨  Selecting 'hyperkit' driver from user configuration (alternates: [])
🔥  Creating hyperkit VM (CPUs=2, Memory=4000MB, Disk=64000MB) ...

💣  Unable to start VM. Please investigate and run 'minikube delete' if possible

💡  Suggestion: Hyperkit is broken. Upgrade to the latest hyperkit version and/or Docker for Desktop. Alternatively, you may choose an alternate --vm-driver

As @burdiyan has said, the workaround is to install Docker for Desktop, which stinks.

[ylathouris]

I am having this issue as well:

• docker-19.03.5
• hyperkit-0.20190802
• minikube-1.7.2

[mjgallag]

New version of hyperkit with Catalina fix is finally available on Homebrew, see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/50655 & https://github.com/moby/hyperkit/issues/267 for details.

[tstromberg]

I'm closing this issue as it hasn't seen activity in awhile, and it's unclear if this issue still exists. If this issue does continue to exist in the most recent release of minikube, please feel free to re-open it.

Thank you for opening the issue!

[nicknovitski]

I am no longer able to reproduce the issue, so I believe it has been resolved with newer minikube and/or hyperkit releases.
