<p>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.</p>

<pre><code>➜  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?
</code></pre>

<p>I have VM VirtualBox Version 5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.7.1). I've checked the BIOS settings and have virtualization enabled.</p>

<pre><code>➜  minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster...
Starting VM...

 Retrying.

<p>I've tried some suggests that I've found online, like running <code>~/rm -rf .minikube/</code> and trying to start up minikube again. I've tried running <code>minikube stop</code> followed by a <code>minikube delete</code> and then trying to start minikube again. I've tried specifying the virtualbox driver when starting as well <code>minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox</code>. These aren't working, I still get the same error.</p>

<p>This looks like an issue with your Virtualbox installation, have you tried reinstalling it?</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1
</code></pre>
