Enable Kernel-based Virtual Machine on your system.
To check if the hardware supports Virtualizaton Technology(VT), open a terminal and type
egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
if you can see a output, means your hardware supports VT.
Next step is to enable load kernel modules(Irrespective of your processor type)
sudo modprobe kvm_intel
sudo modprobe kvm
Note
In above command
vmx
(Virtual Machine eXtension) - is for Intel processorsvm
(Secure Virtual Machine) - is for AMD processor
