GUEST_START: apiserver healthz never reported healthy

What Happened?

Hi, I am trying to install minikube on a new system, and am getting a problem that my previous installation never got before. When following the installation instructions from the documentation I get the following error when performing minikube start:

What did I attempt to do in order to correct it:

• Run minikube delete --all --purge
• Tried to Install from the binary instead of the .deb latest package
• Tried to install the previous version (1.34.0) from the .deb package

All with no success

Attach the log file
