<p>I just upgrade Ubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10</p>

<p>Now Minikube won't start.</p>

<p>So, after a while, I just removed completely Minikube with.</p>

<pre><code>minikube stop; minikube delete
docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
rm -r ~/.kube ~/.minikube
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/localkube /usr/local/bin/minikube
systemctl stop '*kubelet*.mount'
sudo rm -rf /etc/kubernetes/
docker system prune -af --volumes
</code></pre>

<p>Now I want to reinstall everything, but I can't make it working. </p>

<p>I download minikube, and move it to <code>/usr/local/bin</code></p>

<pre><code>curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 \\n  &amp;&amp; chmod +x minikube &amp;&amp; sudo mv ./minikube /usr/local/bin
</code></pre>

<p>I start minikube</p>

<pre><code>sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none
</code></pre>

<p>Everything is OK, minukube starts successfully.</p>

<pre><code>~ sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none

⚠️  The 'none' driver provides limited isolation and may reduce system security and reliability.
⚠️  For more information, see:
👉  https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/none/

⚠️  kubectl and minikube configuration will be stored in /root
⚠️  To use kubectl or minikube commands as your own user, you may need to relocate them. For example, to overwrite your own settings, run:

    ▪ sudo mv /root/.kube /root/.minikube $HOME
    ▪ sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.kube $HOME/.minikube

💡  This can also be done automatically by setting the env var CHANGE_MINIKUBE_NONE_USER=true
⌛  Waiting for: apiserver proxy etcd scheduler controller dns
🏄  Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube"

<p>I finally do:</p>

<pre><code>   ~ sudo mv /root/.kube /root/.minikube $HOME
➜  ~ sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.kube $HOME/.minikube
</code></pre>

<p>But when I want to check pods:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl get po
</code></pre>

<p>I get: </p>

<pre><code>➜  ~ kubectl get po

<p>And if using sudo:</p>

<pre><code> ~ sudo kubectl get po
[sudo] password for julien:

<p>What should I do ?</p>

<p>EDIT:</p>

<p>After a reboot, when starting minikube with:</p>

<pre><code>sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none

<p>I get:</p>

<p>Okay, so I reproduced and got the same errors with minikube after upgrading it to 19.10.</p>

<p>After upgrading to 19.10 and clean minikube install:</p>

<pre><code>vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ kubectl get all -A

<p>There are a lots of discussions stating you should use <code>root</code> for <code>none driver</code> since minikube runs the kubernetes system components directly on your machine...</p>

<p>However.. here is a small trick for you..</p>

<p>1) wipe everything</p>

<pre><code>vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ minikube stop

</code></pre>

<p>2) Install minikube, export variables, check</p>

<pre><code>vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$  curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 &amp;&amp; chmod +x minikube &amp;&amp; sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

⚠️  kubectl and minikube configuration will be stored in /root
⚠️  To use kubectl or minikube commands as your own user, you may need to relocate them. For example, to overwrite your own settings, run:

⌛  Waiting for: apiserver proxy etcd scheduler controller dns
🏄  Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube"
</code></pre>

<p>What I do next is copy everything from <code>/root/.kube</code> and <code>/root/.minikube</code> to <code>$HOME</code>, grant user permissions and finally edit <code>$HOME/.kube/config</code> specifying new path to certs (<code>$HOME/.minikube/</code> instead of <code>/root/.minikube/</code>). Right now it looks like</p>

<pre><code>vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ cat $KUBECONFIG
apiVersion: v1
...
    certificate-authority: /root/.minikube/ca.crt
...
    client-certificate: /root/.minikube/client.crt
    client-key: /root/.minikube/client.key
</code></pre>

<p>Lets do it :)</p>

<pre><code>vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ sudo cp -r /root/.kube  /root/.minikube $HOME
vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.kube
vkr@ubuntu-minikube:~$ sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.minikube
sed 's/root/home\/vkr/g' $KUBECONFIG &gt; tmp; mv tmp $KUBECONFIG
</code></pre>

<p>And finally result..</p>
