I'm running Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) on a Dell XPS 13 (3854 MB of RAM and Intel Core i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz) and trying to start up Minikube, but I'm getting a couple errors when I try to start it up.
➜ minikube version
minikube version: v0.22.3
➜ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.5", GitCommit:"17d7182a7ccbb167074be7a87f0a68bd00d58d97", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-08-31T09:14:02Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
I have VM VirtualBox Version 5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.7.1). I've checked the BIOS settings and have virtualization enabled.
➜ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster...

I've tried some suggests that I've found online, like running ~/rm -rf .minikube/
and trying to start up minikube again. I've tried running minikube stop
followed by a minikube delete
and then trying to start minikube again. I've tried specifying the virtualbox driver when starting as well minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox
. These aren't working, I still get the same error.
Try to enable virtual box in BIOS system, in my case it resovled problem
This looks like an issue with your Virtualbox installation, have you tried reinstalling it?
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1
