VMSetError: VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension [Solved]

#1 Post by TuxNuX »

sorry if the solution already exists on the forum, I searched but couldn't find anything
the solutions to the conflict problem with the kvm_amd and kvm kernel modules are here:

it might be possible to add this solution to prevent many of us from finding ourselves in difficulty

Have you tried MX-Tweak -> Other -> KVM disable on early load:

At least here, I have no issue running both VirtualBox and KVM....
Both types of needed modules are loaded by the kernel:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep -E "kvm|vbox"
vboxnetadp             28672  0
vboxnetflt             40960  0
vboxdrv               684032  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
kvm_amd               212992  6
kvm                  1417216  1 kvm_amd
ccp                   139264  1 kvm_amd
Maybe try it and let us know whether it works for you.
Also perhaps post QSI "Quick System Info", so we may see what system is involved.

Thank you very much
I didn't know MX-Tweak, or maybe I didn't pay attention to it but really great
now the virtualbox emulations start without problem and the kernel modules remain loaded
