Funny that you couldn't find a search result... Consider changing your favorite internet search engine. There should be plenty of results about this on these forums, but the search engine you're using now, does not seem to return any results for some reason.

The message is quite clear; VT-x is not available. There's a FAQ for that, please go thoroughly through it: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests. Those are guidelines, you have to use your judgement...

I have tried every available resources and guide without success.Am using windows VMs on virtual box and they are all working fine.
Its only the linux VMs that am having problem with,and also i have VMware workstation install on my host laptop which am running linux VMs that are working fine without any problem.Is the problem associated with using two different virtualization applications?

Only if the second is Hyper-V... ;)

Please try going through the FAQ again, there's not much more we can do over here, since we're not sitting in front of your computer and cannot possibly know what you have installed/enabled...
