================================================================================
An error has occurred. Would you like to opt in to sending anonymized crash
information to minikube to help prevent future errors?
To opt out of these messages, run the command:
        minikube config set WantReportErrorPrompt false
================================================================================
Please enter your response [Y/n]:
Y

What you expected to happen:
Start normally, no errors

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

delete ~/.kube
delete ~/.minikube
install minikube.exe
minikube profile workshop
minikube start --profile workshop

Error is consistently repeatable.

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):

F0630 22:15:29.886153 816 logs.go:50] Error getting cluster bootstrapper: getting kubeadm bootstrapper: getting api client: Error loading host from store: Docker machine "minikube" does not exist. Use "docker-machine ls" to list machines. Use "docker-machine create" to add a new one.

Anything else do we need to know:

Workaround is to use deprecated boostrapper called localkube

minikube start --bootstrapper localkube --profile workshop

This bug report is hopefully cleaner than #2818 and supports #2717

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 with VirtualBox

Dupe of #2574
