I am using a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.I am getting a problem in running the android emulator on genymotion. Genymotion suggested to run it through oracle VM Virtualbox. When I did the above it showed an error message:-

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Google Nexus 7 2013 - 5.1.0 - API 22 - 1200x1920. VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

What is a possible solution to this?

Old processors doesn't support virtualization technologies. You should first check that your CPU is compatible by searching informations (vtx instructions) on it on Intel website.

According to the model of your PC, some processors should be compatible but I think you need to enable the virtualization capabilities in your bios.

  • reboot your computer
  • enter in the bios
  • look at the entry Virtualization under POST behaviour.
