Solution:

1. This issue exist because sometime Virtulization Technology(VTX) is not enabled in Bios settings.
2. Some cases even this option enabled also will face this issue.
3. At the moment run the following command will resolve the issue.

root@ubuntu:~# minikube start –vm-driver=none
4. After that will start minikube in local vm.
