Hi @dropthemasquerade, thanks for reporting your issue with minikube!

Could you run minikube logs --file=logs.txt and upload the log file to this issue. That will output more verbose logs and will help with debugging, thanks!

[klaases]

Hi @dropthemasquerade – were you able to review Steven's comment in order to provide the additional log data that is needed for debugging?

Also, is this issue still occurring? Are additional details available? If so, please feel free to re-open the issue by commenting with /reopen. This issue will be closed as additional information was unavailable and some time has passed.

Additional information that may be helpful:

• Whether the issue occurs with the latest minikube release

• The exact minikube start command line used

• Attach the full output of minikube logs, run minikube logs --file=logs.txt to create a log file
