still no luck with the VM

I'm not having much luck with the VM. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I'm running a 32-bit OS so I've changed the Vagrant file so it points to precise32 instead of precise64. But I get the following error:

[default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the box.

and in the VirtualBox GUI I get:

VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)

I've looked at my BIOS and can't see any options to enable/disabled VT-x, although I asked in the virtualbox.org forum and I'm told I should be able to run a Linux 32-bit guest in any case.

I've tried using VirtualBox to 4.2.4 with Vagrant to 1.0.5 and VirtualBox 4.2.8 with Vagrant 1.0.6. My CPU is T1400 @ 1.73GHz × 2.

Confusingly, the VirtualBox GUI seems to say I'm trying to run a 64-bit Ubuntu, even though I've changed the Vagrant file to point to precise32: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/virtualboxo.png/

Any thoughts welcome as I can't get started!

This is very useful https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest Keeps guest additions up to date automatically.

I had the same problem I could resolve it changing to false these parameters in the gswd.vbox file:

<CPU count="1" hotplug="false">
     <HardwareVirtEx enabled="false" exclusive="false"/>
     <HardwareVirtExNestedPaging enabled="false"/>
     <HardwareVirtExVPID enabled="false"/>
     <PAE enabled="true"/>
     <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="false"/>
     <HardwareVirtForce enabled="false"/>
</CPU>

I saw it here

Probably it is a bit late, but I hope it is useful

Thank you for the information, appreciated. I reinstalled Ubuntu on my machine and (as before) changed the Vagrant file to point to precise32, and now I no-longer get the `VT-x is not available` error. About to post another question though...

I'm using VirtualBox 4.2.4 and Vagrant 1.0.5. I have to admit, I don't know a lot about the nitty gritty of their workings so I'm not sure why you're getting the error that you are. So long as you're using the same VBox as me, the Guest Additions should match.

going to go ahead and start without VM as it's driving me a bit barmy, have got Python 2.7 + Git, and Postgresql is shipped with Ubuntu I think so hopefully it'll be cool
