[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
This bug as it stands is confusing. There should be two parts: - one Answer to the question about further explaining the VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension error message - one bug about making sure the kvm module is unloaded if you remove KVM. I'll create the question and answer, close the virtualbox-ose task and rename the bug so that it matches the remaining bug. ** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- Removing qemu-kvm doesn't prevent kvm module from getting loaded (purging works ok) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Yes, this used to work with the bum solution. Afaik it worked because qemu fired up kvm on start, I don't think actual parallel use of qemu and VBox was available.

It would seem that this has to do with incompatibility of bum with upstart. sudo stop qemu-kvm Seems to be the way the go these days.

[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
Hmm, some looking around has made me think this is an error in the qemu-kvm packaging. Removing qemu-kvm should remove the qemu-kvm upstart job (which actually loads the module). Qemu can run without kvm, but then it isn't using hardware virtualization. This could be a solution for people only using qemu sporadically. People who want to keep the option of hardware qemu could modify /etc/init/qemu-kvm.conf changing start on runlevel [2345] to #start on runlevel [2345] effectively disabling this line. Probably running sudo initctl reload afterwards to reload the settings. This should make the kvm module loading manual, with modprobe or with sudo stop qemu-kvm and sudo start qemu-kvm -- VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a serious annoyance.

[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
I think that on install, in a debconf box, virtualbox should say that KVM is the default virtualization service, but that virtualbox kernel module can't start if the kvm service is running. Would you like to disable it? Alternatively, virtualbox could disable the kvm service / unload the kvm module on startup and restart it when it exits. -- VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
For users who still might want to use qemu-kvm, you can use: sudo update-rc.d -f qemu-kvm remove To remove the system startup links that insert the module at boot. Now if you want to use kvm, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/qemu-kvm start To insert the module and enable kvm. This bug suggests that you will not be able to run both virtualbox-ose and qemu-kvm at the same time. But this workaround will at least prevent you from having to manually remove the kvm module after every boot. -- VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
KVM is the default virtualization system for Ubuntu 9.10: The default virtualization technology supported in Ubuntu is KVM, a technology that takes advantage of virtualization extensions built into Intel and AMD hardware. For hardware without virtualization extensions Xen and Qemu are popular solutions. (http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/virtualization.html) This would explain why it's installed by default. -- VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
I just found the same issue after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 and VirtualBox 3.x. For some reason the package qemu-kvm got installed and that's what runs the kvm module. Before I was using VirtualBox 2.2 (not the OSE version, but the personal use version from virtualbox.org) in Ubuntu 9.04. I don't know whether qemu was installed or not. I don't remember doing so and I'm sure I never used it, but it might be. The Ubuntu upgrade disabled the third party repositories. I had added the VirtualBox one as, if I remember correctly, it was not available in the standard repositories before. Then the installed VirtualBox 2.2 failed to start because it could not load some kernel module (didn't complain yet about KVM, but I don't remember the details), so I went to add the karmic repository from VirtualBox.org to Synaptic. When going to mark the VB 3.0 package for installation, I saw that the OSE version was available, so I just removed the third party repository, updated the package list, and installed virtualbox-ose 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1. That's when I got the error message described in the bug report. So, I'm not sure what actually triggered the issue in my case: the change of VirtualBox version, or the upgrade to Karmic. What I've done is deinstall qemu-kvm (and qemu with it). -- VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292588] Re: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode.
I think if KVM is not installed, the module should not be loaded. Or at least, they should not be loaded by default. Those who want to use KVM will load them. I have too the problem with Jaunty and VirtualBox (either the OSE one - v2.1.4 - in the Ubuntu repositories or the Sun deb one - v2.2.2).
