Solus cannot see hardware virtualization

dziurka

I installed virtualbox and vagrant today and unfortunately my image cannot be started because virtualbox claims that vt-x hardware virtualization is not enabled (it is set to enabled in the bios).
I am using the current kernel version and the appropriate virtualbox package.

Any ideas? ☹️

In Virtualbox, select your VM -> Settings -> System -> Acceleration -> Tick the box Enable VT-x/AMD-V in Hardware Virtualization

This option is enabled but the virtualbox warns that VT-x / AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on my system.
Virtualbox does not even allow to disable this option because the system image is 64 bit..

What's the output of egrep -o vmx /proc/cpuinfo | uniq and of lscpu ?

Also have you installed it from the software center and is your system fully up-to-date sudo eopkg up ?

grep -o vmx /proc/cpuinfo | uniq
vmx

sudo eopkg up
I have a fully updated system.

edit1:
~~The problem with hardware virtualization was solved by changing the size of RAM to smaller (weird).~~

Unfortunately, a new problem has appeared - vagrant stood at "SSH auth method: private key" and then exit by "Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot.".

Could this be associated with a firewall? How to check it?

edit2:
After enabling gui (gui = true in Homestead.yaml) the following error appears in the virtualbox dialog:

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system.
Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.
