Minikube installation error-solution

What Happened?

For the error : VT-X/AMD-V should be enabled in BIOS which is mandatory

This cannot be found in my BIOS settings. I tried the below command to resolve this issue and the minikube started normally.

minikube start --no-vtx-check

Attach the log file

Operating System

Driver

VirtualBox

@FathimaFazl,
Thanks for raising the issue.

For the error : VT-X/AMD-V should be enabled in BIOS which is mandatory. This cannot be found in my BIOS settings

Unfortunately this is one of the existing bug which not fixed yet but for workarround you can use --no-vtx-check to skip this validation.

--no-vtx-check Disable checking for the availability of hardware virtualization before the vm is started (virtualbox driver only)
