'Fail to start Minikube on Debian
I installed Minikube on my Debian 10, but when I try to start it, I get these errors:
$ minikube start
* minikube v1.25.2 on Debian 10.1
* Unable to pick a default driver. Here is what was considered, in preference order:
- docker: Not healthy: "docker version --format {{.Server.Os}}-{{.Server.Version}}" exit status 1: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/version: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
- docker: Suggestion: Add your user to the 'docker' group: 'sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker' <https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/>
- kvm2: Not healthy: /usr/bin/virsh domcapabilities --virttype kvm failed:
error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: invalid argument: KVM is not supported by '/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64' on this host
exit status 1
- kvm2: Suggestion: Follow your Linux distribution instructions for configuring KVM <https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/kvm2/>
* Alternatively you could install one of these drivers:
- podman: Not installed: exec: "podman": executable file not found in $PATH
- vmware: Not installed: exec: "docker-machine-driver-vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
- virtualbox: Not installed: unable to find VBoxManage in $PATH
I added my user to the docker group using:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
and I insalled kvm without any apparent problems as far as I understand:
kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-8~deb10u1)

$ lsmod | grep kvm
kvm 729088 0
irqbypass 16384 1 kvm
$ sudo virsh list --all
Id Name State
-----------------------------
1 debian10-MK running
What could be the problem and solution then?
Thanks, Tamar
