Failing to connect to https://registry.k8s.io/ from both inside the minikube container and host machine

What Happened?

Hi,

I checked from the minikube pod and I can fetch the image, so I don't know why I get this error when I do

minikube start

I also tried

minikube start --driver=docker --image-repository=registry.k8s.io

Attach the log file

minikube start --driver=docker --image-repository=registry.k8s.io
