I have a Ubuntu desktop installed on Dell Optiplex 755. It's my regular desktop, and I installed Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads. The version selected was the "Ubuntu 13.04 ("Raring") / 13.10 ("Saucy") / 14.04 ("Trusty") / 14.10 ("Utopic")" AMD64 one.
And my OS is also 64 bit...:
uname -a
Linux mydd 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 15 22:27:29 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I believe my processor is 64-bit capable and my motherboard has enabled vt settings.... This is my processor information from the lscpu command:
I believe I don't have VM products such as KVM, and I tried searching VM products using lsmod .. (just googled and found):
lsmod | grep vm
lsmod | grep kvm
Both are having blank results...
Yet, I can't find 64-bit version of guest VM settings...
I tried installing/reinstalling .. yet not working.. Why can't I install a 64-bit guest vms on my PC? What should I chang to get the 64-bit OS working on my current PC/PS using VirtualBox? Any settings I should change?
In the BIOS I had to change the following settings
Security > Execute Disable (set to On)
Performance > Virtualization (set to On)
Performance > VT for Direct I/O Access (set to On)
Performance > Trusted Execution (set to Off)
In my case first 3 i have already turned on, and what i had to turn off was Performance > Trusted Execution
Thanks to the article that pinpoited exact issue with bios on dell optiplex755 http://lifeofageekadmin.com/enable-virtualization-on-dell-optiplex-755-to-run-oracle-virtualbox-4/
Now everything is ok
