Can not start vm getting a VT-x error
Posted: 27. Jun 2017, 13:47
I am running ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit and trying to create a VM but getting an VT-x disabled error. However I can not seem to update my bios and the results of 3 different commands all seem to show VT-x virtulization enabled.
error message in virtual box:
I have allocated 10240MB to the VM out of the total 128GB available on my system, running 4 processors, with vt-x/amd-v acceleration nested paging . Thank you 
.
