minikube: minikube start (kvm) "Error starting host: Error creating new host: dial tcp: missing address."

I am having this issue with snap’s version of minikube as well. I uninstalled the snap version and performed the installation with

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

And the install seems to be proceeding without a hitch

Also happening on Ubuntu 18.04 after a fresh install of minikube.

The above workaround worked fine:

Uninstall snap version and install “real version” with

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

I have the same issue. Virtual Machine - Ubuntu 18.10. Tried KVM2 driver and yet. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

os: linux mint 19 minikube v1.6.2 vm driver: kvm docker v19.03

I experienced the same issue after installing minikube with snap. For me the solution was to remove the snap install and delete the /snap/minikube folder and then install minikube wirh:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
&& sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube

This is pretty odd since snap is suggested in the official documentation. I also had to install docker-machine.

I linked the official minikube binary. If that is a honey pot that I give up. It is running unconfined but I am not sure the snap version of minikube can run unconfined either.

I am having this issue with snap’s version of minikube as well. I uninstalled the snap version and performed the installation with

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

And the install seems to be proceeding without a hitch

THANK YOU FIXED IT FOR ME

This is still happening to me on minikube v1.1.0. Opening another terminal doesn’t seem to help, but I am included in the libvirtd group.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 VM Driver: kvm Docker version: 18.06.0-ce,

Still a problem! Reopen? Ubuntu 16.04 with KVM2.

Solution is to downgrade minikube to v0.30.0 if you are on 16.04

Same here:

Ubuntu 14.04 with KVM2 minikube version: v0.32.0

+1

• minikube version: v0.26.1
• OS: Fedora 27
• VM Driver: kvm/kvm2
• Docker version 18.04.0-ce, build 3d479c0

I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 and installed kubectl and minikube via Ubuntu’s snap and I get the same errors:

$ minikube start --vm-driver="kvm"
There is a newer version of minikube available (v0.23.0).  Download it here:
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v0.23.0
