minikube start not working

[gthri2k]

Hi,
I'm having trouble installing minikube.
I have a windows 10 machine. Have installed ubuntu in Oracle VM Virtual box manager
When I give minikube start , it throws me this error

minikube v1.20.0 on Ubuntu 20.04
✨ Automatically selected the virtualbox driver

🧯 The requested memory allocation of 1939MiB does not leave room for system overhead (total system memory: 1939MiB). You may face stability issues.
💡 Suggestion: Start minikube with less memory allocated: 'minikube start --memory=1939mb'

Please disregard the errors from "ssh" at the end, they have been fixed: #11371

The real error is the timeout, probably from trying to run VirtualBox in Virtualbox

Would it not be easier to run minikube from Windows, and skip the Ubuntu VM ?

Oh yes! This works from windows! Thanks!
