<p>Running the <code>minikube start</code> command, I am getting this message:<br />
This container is having trouble accessing <a href="https://registry.k8s.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://registry.k8s.io</a></p>
<p>and after this the Booting up control plane process takes a long time then gives the following error:</p>
<p>Error starting cluster: wait: /bin/bash -c &quot;sudo env PATH=&quot;/var/lib/minikube/binaries/v1.26.1:$PATH&quot; kubeadm init --config /var/tmp/minikube/kubeadm.yaml  --ignore-preflight-errors=DirAvailable--etc-kubernetes-manifests,DirAvailable--var-lib-minikube,DirAvailable--var-lib-minikube-etcd,FileAvailable--etc-kubernetes-manifests-kube-scheduler.yaml,FileAvailable--etc-kubernetes-manifests-kube-apiserver.yaml,FileAvailable--etc-kubernetes-manifests-kube-controller-manager.yaml,FileAvailable--etc-kubernetes-manifests-etcd.yaml,Port-10250,Swap,NumCPU,Mem,SystemVerification,FileContent--proc-sys-net-bridge-bridge-nf-call-iptables&quot;: Process exited with status 1</p>
<p>I have the right <code>minikube</code>, <code>kubectl</code> , <code>docker</code> ... versions.<br />
<code>$ echo $(minikube docker-env)</code> this command outputs the following error:</p>
<p>Exiting due to GUEST_STATUS: state: unknown state &quot;minikube&quot;: docker container inspect minikube --format=: exit status 1</p>
<p>stderr:</p>
<p>Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get &quot;http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/minikube/json&quot;: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied</p>
<p>But what i don't understand, if I run the <code>docker run hello-world</code> , it works (I have the super user permission)</p>

<p>Try running the below commands:</p>
<p>Remove unused data:</p>
<pre><code>docker system prune
</code></pre>
<p>Clear minikube's local state:</p>
<pre><code>minikube delete
</code></pre>
<p>Start the cluster:</p>
<pre><code>minikube start --driver=&lt;driver_name&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>(In your case driver name is docker as per minikube profile list info shared by you)</p>
<p>Check the cluster status:</p>
<pre><code>minikube status
</code></pre>
