Laptop network advise needed

On a new ThinkPad laptop and a new install of Fedora 42 and minikube 1.36.0-0.
minikube is not usable because on startup I get msg.
:red_exclamation_mark: Failing to connect to https://registry.k8s.io/ from inside the minikube VM

I have the logs for “minikube start”. It shows in minikube cmd “curl -sS -m 2 https://registry.k8s.io/
failing, however from the host that command is successful.

To the host I have added
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,10.96.0.0/12,192.168.59.0/24,192.168.49.0/24,192.168.39.0/24
To /etc/resolv.conf I added
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8

I am not behind a proxy or using VPN. Fedora 42 is running firewalld and SELinux.

Any suggestions to resolve this issue or who else to ask would be appreciated.

I’m not familiar with MiniKube. However, there is an article that goes into some detail about running Kubernetes on Fedora Linux here:

Edit: Note that there have been some changes to the package naming since that article was written that might need to be taken into account if you try to follow that guide.[1]
