Impossible to start Minikube on macOS Ventura

Question

After upgrading my macOS to Ventura I can't start Minikube.

  Failed to start virtualbox VM. Running "minikube delete" may fix it: creating host: create: creating: Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue

❌  Exiting due to IF_VBOX_NOT_VISIBLE: Failed to start host: creating host: create: creating: Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible.

  Suggestion: Reboot to complete VirtualBox installation, verify that VirtualBox is not blocked by your system, and/or use another hypervisor

I'm using Minikube v 1.28 and virtualbox 7.0.4

Any idea if I can still using that virtualbox version on macOS Ventura?

Uninstalling VBox with the `VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool` fixed it in my case because it automatically chose the vmware driver :p — DimiDak, Feb 17 '23 at 18:30

i am trying this and I get: Exiting due to DRV_UNSUPPORTED_OS: The driver 'virtualbox' is not supported on darwin/arm64 – Arnout Cator Feb 03 '23 at 11:47
Didn't work for me in Ventura. Same error as the OP's. – DimiDak Feb 17 '23 at 18:04
