Service never runs - kubernetes

Question

I am using minikube on Linux to get started with kubernetes. Going with the examples in the readme and going with the none vm-diver, I do the following.
$ minikube start --vm-driver=none
Starting local Kubernetes v1.9.0 cluster...
Starting VM...
Getting VM IP address...
Moving files into cluster...
Setting up certs...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Starting cluster components...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
===================
WARNING: IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO RUN THE NONE DRIVER ON PERSONAL WORKSTATIONS
The 'none' driver will run an insecure kubernetes apiserver as root that may leave the host vulnerable to CSRF attacks
When using the none driver, the kubectl config and credentials generated will be root owned and will appear in the root home directory.
You will need to move the files to the appropriate location and then set the correct permissions. An example of this is below:
sudo mv /root/.kube $HOME/.kube # this will write over any previous configuration
sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.kube
sudo chgrp -R $USER $HOME/.kube
sudo mv /root/.minikube $HOME/.minikube # this will write over any previous configuration
sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.minikube
sudo chgrp -R $USER $HOME/.minikube
This can also be done automatically by setting the env var CHANGE_MINIKUBE_NONE_USER=true
Loading cached images from config file.
$ kubectl get nodes
No resources found.
$ kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080
deployment "hello-minikube" created
$ kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort
service "hello-minikube" exposed
$ kubectl get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hello-minikube-c6c6764d-h64t8 0/1 Pending 0 3m
Now, the problem is that this pod continues to remain pending. It looks like there are no nodes to run it on but I do not know why. Where am I going wrong?
EDIT: Here is the output of describeing the pod.
$ kubectl describe pod hello-minikube-c6c6764d-h64t8

try running minikube status if you get this then try running this command.
fix worked for me:
sudo chown -R $USER /home/docker/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json
Error with minikube status:
"X Error getting host status: load: filestore: open /home/docker/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json: permission denied

* Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear from you:
