Problems with virtualbox

Post by mylo_cr »

Hello everibody,
Please excuse my bad english i`m a latin guy :), i have problem with virtualbox. It gave me error like in atachment. Same error it gave me in win10. I think is from the program (version !?) because in bios (i upgraded last version) i don`t have any options virtualization. Any advice will be welcome. Thank you :)

Hello mylo_cr Image

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum :)

The message indicates that the virtualization setting in the BIOS is not enabled.

So you'll have to get into the computer's BIOS setup screen and enable it :wink:

do look for AMD-V or VT-x ( intel ) it could be either, or both in the BIOS.

do also check the system settings in the VB guest as well, as that has to be checked, too.
- win-10 won't run, without these being correct.

With Ryzen motherboards, the setting in BIOS is usually "SVM Mode" for using Virtualization Technology, and you need to set it "Enable". For my Gigabyte motherboard, it's located in the M.I.T. section of BIOS setup under the "Advanced CPU Core Settings".

I'm also seeing you have "PAE/NX" enabled in VirtualBox for Win8.1. You should work fine with that disabled. That setting is really an extension for 32-bit host processors to extend to 36-bit addressing for use with up to 64GB memory systems.

I run VB on my Ryzen too. :wink:
