<p>I am completely new in Kubernetes.I was trying to play with minikube in my local machine. I have installed kubectl and minikube locally. When I run</p>

<pre><code>minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox # and then 
minikube status
</code></pre>

<p>my output is </p>

<pre><code>E0512 23:33:45.964815   23423 status.go:233] kubeconfig endpoint: extract IP: "minikube" 
does not appear in  /.kube/config
m01
host: Running
kubelet: Stopped
apiserver: Stopped
kubeconfig: Misconfigured
WARNING: Your kubectl is pointing to stale minikube-vm. 
To fix the kubectl context, run `minikube update-context`
</code></pre>

<p>When I ran <code>minikube update-context</code> the output is </p>

<pre><code>panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0x148ecb0]
..... and more 
</code></pre>

<p>Can anybody help? Thanks in advance </p>

<p>try these commands in this order:</p>
<ol>
<li>minikube stop</li>
<li>minikube delete</li>
<li>minikube start</li>
</ol>
<p>This worked from me</p>
