Hello Experts
I am trying to install minikube which is already installed.
Setup Details: I am having Windows 10 Laptop where i have installed Ubuntu and in Ubuntu, i have installed kubectl and even minikube is installed on Ubuntu but while starting the minikube, i am getting below error. i have already installed virtualbox with command in ubuntu apt-get install virtualbox
As some of the documents where telling to install the virtual box on Windows that is also being installed but i am getting below error, Please help on it.

I have already updated and upgraded ubuntu with commands apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

rmahajan@RMAHAJAN-PC1:~$ minikube start --driver=virtualbox
:smile:  minikube v1.26.0 on Ubuntu 20.04
:sparkles:  Using the virtualbox driver based on user configuration

:x:  Exiting due to PR_VBOX_DEVICE_MISSING: warning from virtualbox WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
         Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
         headers, most likely linux-headers-Microsoft.

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
6.1.34_Ubuntur150636

:bulb:  Suggestion: Reinstall VirtualBox and reboot. Alternatively, try the kvm2 driver: <https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/kvm2/>
