Error during Minikube Environment Setup (minikube start)

[bhuvana-ssk]

What Happened?

While running the minikube start command, I am repeatedly getting this issue. Even I have tried uninstall and reinstalling minikube, even after that I am getting this error.

Even I can see the container running in the Rancher Desktop [Container in Rancher Desktop]

The minikube status is [Minikube Status]

Feel free to ask any other details, if necessary.

I have to setup the minikube environment and deploy my docker image into minikube.
