jx create cluster minikube fails with Unable to register node "minikube" with API server: nodes "minikube" is forbidden: node "minikube-jx-dev" cannot modify node "minikube"

Setting up jx with minikube fails for me with the following problem:

Unable to register node "minikube" with API server: nodes "minikube" is forbidden: node "minikube-jx-dev" cannot modify node "minikube"

When running jx create cluster minikube it only reports an exit status 1:

...
Creating Minikube cluster...
Error: Command failed  minikube start --memory 8192 --cpus 3 --vm-driver virtualbox --bootstrapper=kubeadm
error creating cluster exit status 1

But a journalctl -xe on the minikube VM shows:

I think it is an problem in kubeadm in the end (cf. kubernetes/minikube#2574) but nevertheless prohibits JX to create a cluster.

I wonder if this is still an issue as there's comments on that linked issue that a new version in July contains fixes for the area.

This seems to work now, closing issue.
