![qa-featured](https://www.techyv.com/sites/default/users/superadmin/qa-featured-300x270.png)
Hi,
I am using the Varian of Ubuntu Linux. And started to try virtual machine software (it's virtualbox ). I had a problem everytime I start it, this warning message appears :
![Failed to start the virtual machine Kabuntu.](https://www.techyv.com/sites/default/filesx/users/Images/Failed-to-start-the-virtual-machine-Kubuntu.jpg)
VirtualBox – Error
Failed to start the virtual machine Kabuntu.
VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).
Ok
Please, anyone can tell me how to disable the KVM kernel extension? And can i do that without recompile my kernel. (It's taken a hard time for me as a beginner in Linux world to recompile the kernel).
Thanks in advance
