kubelet and apriserver stopped with minikube

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

minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox # and then 
minikube status

my output is 

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`

When I ran minikube update-context the output is 

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

Can anybody help? Thanks in advance

I faced the same problem as I didn't start the Minikube yet but trying to access it, did these and solved it, so...

minikube start minikube status

if you've already started it then,

minikube stop minikube delete minikube start

I'm using ubuntu 21.10 (kernel - 5.13.0-37-generic)

I have used minikube stop minikube start

it restarted my existing minikube host

if we include minikube delete it will stop and delete the existing minikube host and will create a new one when "minikube start " is executed.

this happens when kubeconfig is misconfigureed. so you'll need to export kubeconfig path and then do a minikube start

export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config

echo 'export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config' >> $HOME/.bashrc

minikube start

minikube status

try these commands in this order:

  1. minikube stop
  2. minikube delete
  3. minikube start

This worked from me
