Ubuntu Game Pack系统运行VirtualBox启动虚拟机报错的解决方法

Hey there, let’s get this VirtualBox issue sorted out for you on Ubuntu Game Pack. That error message is pretty straightforward: your CPU’s virtualization feature (VT-x for Intel chips, AMD-V for AMD) is turned off in your BIOS/UEFI, and VirtualBox needs this enabled to run 64-bit VMs like Windows 10 properly.

Here’s exactly what you need to do:

1. Reboot your machine and enter BIOS/UEFI settings

   • Restart your computer, and watch the boot screen closely for a prompt telling you which key to press to enter setup (common keys are Del, F2, F10, or Esc—it varies by brand: ASUS uses Del, Lenovo often uses F1/F2, Dell uses F2). Hold that key down as soon as you see the manufacturer’s logo pop up.

2. Locate and enable virtualization options

   • Once in the BIOS/UEFI interface, navigate to menus like Advanced, CPU Configuration, Security, or System Configuration (the exact name depends on your BIOS version).
   • Look for options named Virtualization Technology (VT-x), Intel VT-x, AMD-V, or SVM Mode (for AMD CPUs).
   • Set this option to Enabled. If you spot an option called VT-d (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O), feel free to enable that too—it’s not strictly required for basic VM use, but it can help with hardware passthrough features later on.

3. Save changes and exit BIOS

   • Find the option labeled Save Changes and Exit (usually at the bottom or in a dedicated menu), confirm you want to save your settings, and let your computer reboot normally.

Once you’re back in Ubuntu Game Pack, fire up VirtualBox again and try launching your Windows 10 VM—it should start without that error now.

If you still run into issues, double-check that no other virtualization tools (like KVM or Docker with virtualization enabled) are running in the background, as they can sometimes lock the VT-x feature. But in most cases, enabling VT-x in BIOS is the fix here.
