Hi
I have installed Virtualbox-4.3.34 on my opensuse 13.2 machine. When I try to install a guest I get this message
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine
VT-x is disabled in the BOIS
(VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED)
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
I have enabled VT-x in the bois but i still get this message
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Is this a relatively new motherboard (and BIOS), or is this something that is older than… approx 2009?
Also, post the results of the following
/proc/cpuinfo

Hi Tsu2
The board is approx 2 years old. the output of /proc/cpuinfo is:

Thank you
Your output of “/etc/procinfo” does include the flag “vmx” so you do have Intel CPU VT support enabled.
Where did you get your Virtualbox install from?
And, is there a reason why you aren’t installing VBox 5.16 (currently latest) instead of the older architecture 4.34?
Currently, VBox 5 should be in your OSS (or optionally the Virtualization repo).
You can install the virtualization repo for 13.2 as follows
zypper in -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.2/ Virtualization_13.2
You can download a pre-packaged VBox 5.16 or add the Oracle Virtualbox repo as described on the following page(instructions for adding the rpm repo)
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
If you’re unable to figure out how to add the repo and want to do it that way so you can auto-update without downloading new packages periodically, ask.

Actually, 5.17 just came down for me from the Virtualization repository
today.

I was just looking at this the last day or so…
This is one of the rare times that the VBox Extensions won’t have the same version number as the VBox install itself…
Although VBox itself is still currently 5.16,
Some issues were found in the originally released Extensions.
So, a new version of Extensions was released, but instead of assigning it a subversion consistent with the VBox main install, for some reason they released it as 5.17 which will lead to some confusion.
TSU
Well, I have tried both methods and niether of them wokred for me.
The result of
zypper in -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.2/ Virtualization_13.2
was
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Package 'Virtualization_13.2' not found.
Package 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.2/' not found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
and the second
Media sourse 'http://download.opensuse.org/distributions/13.2/repo/oss/' does not contain the desired medium
Sorry, my last post may not be correct. zypper lr shows there is no virtualbox repo
Tsu2 could you help with adding the repo, i am not sure, is it just a matter of editing the /etc/zypp/repos.d/.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated.
That should have been
zypper ar [http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_13.2/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.2/) Virtualization_13.2

Interesting, I usually don’t even notice - I just suspend my VMs,
upgrade, and resume them - very rarely, it complains the extension
version doesn’t match the VBox version, and one VM (usually my SLES VM)
won’t start until I upgrade the extensions.
But the build in the Virtualization repo is 5.17:

That will mean that the package maintainers themselves have perpetuated the naming mistake.
See the Oracle Virtualbox Downloads page, it will (and likely will remain so until the next major release) still say 5.16
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
But, when you install the VBox extensions, if you’re downloading from Oracle they will be 5.17.
BTW - it seems that the re-released Linux Guest Additions have also been named 5.17 as well.
TSU
Thanks for the correction.
Mind must have been wandering…
TSU
Is it just me, but every time i try to install updates or software it times outs
eg
Timeout exceeded when accessing 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2/x86_64/zypper-1.11.51-37.2.x86_64.rpm'
Is that on my end or is it opensuse,
Is it really your intention to download the zypper package?
