VirtualBox – No Option for 64-bit OS Guest in Ubuntu 14.10

64-bitvirtualboxvirtualization

I have a Ubuntu desktop installed on Dell Optiplex 755. It's my regular desktop, and I installed Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads. The version selected was the "Ubuntu 13.04 ("Raring") / 13.10 ("Saucy") / 14.04 ("Trusty") / 14.10 ("Utopic")" AMD64 one.

And my OS is also 64 bit…:

uname -a
Linux mydd 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 15 22:27:29 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I believe my processor is 64-bit capable and my motherboard has enabled vt settings…. This is my processor information from the lscpu command:

I believe I don't have VM products such as KVM, and I tried searching VM products using lsmod .. (just googled and found):

lsmod | grep vm
lsmod | grep kvm

Both are having blank results…

Yet, I can't find 64-bit version of guest VM settings…

I tried installing/reinstalling .. yet not working.. Why can't I install a 64-bit guest vms on my PC? What should I chang to get the 64-bit OS working on my current PC/PS using VirtualBox? Any settings I should change?

Best Answer

Enable Intel (R) Virtualization Technology and Intel (R) VT-d Feature in BIOS settings.
