Can anyone help me with this error please?


Failed to open a session for the virtual machine ubuntu.

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

I have no clue and couldn't find any other posts on this error.

It means that the VM you are trying to create will require VT-x or AMD-v, i.e. it will require hardware accelerated virtualization support. This must be available as a feature in your CPU, enabled in your host BIOS, and nothing else can be already using it.

You can run most 32bit VMs without VT-x/AMD-v. All 64bit VMs require VT-x/AMD-V, as does all versions of Win8 whether 32bit or 64bit.

If you are trying to install a 32bit (or older) VM other than Win8 then simply turning off VT-x in the VM recipe may fix the problem. I'll emphasise that this option must however be enabled for 64bit VMs and Win8.
