Minikube not staring in linux machine - linux

Question

Initially minikube used to run on the same machine.
Now when I am starting the minikube start command it is not starting tried everything but still the same.
Here are the logs of minikube start
[Company\sainath.reddy#hostm repos]$ minikube start

To troubleshoot, list all containers using your preferred container runtimes CLI.
Here is one example how you may list all running Kubernetes containers by using crictl:

I have tried minikube start --extra-config=kubelet.cgroup-driver=systemd but still the same.
I am running the minikube on linux machine which is amazon linux 2
Here is the logs when I check kubelet service.

Answer 1

Error message is, (you can search for this error keyword K8S_KUBELET_NOT_RUNNING):
[wait-control-plane] Waiting for the kubelet to boot up the control plane as static Pods from directory "/etc/kubernetes/manifests". This can take up to 4m0s
Kubelet has to be up for running. Check it with these:
systemctl status kubelet
journalctl -xeu kubelet
Steps:
Is systemd installed on your machine?
check it with this:
rpm -qa | grep -i systemd
else install with,
yum install -y /usr/bin/systemctl; systemctl --version
Try updating the cgroup driver in a /etc/docker/daemon.json file (create if it is not there!):
{
"exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=systemd"]
}
Restart the services: (use sudo where needed)
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker.service
systemctl restart kubelet
After this if kubelet is running, then issue resolved.
And after this if you face issues with swap, you can swap off with instructions here.
