Kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. How can I install Lubuntu/Ubuntu? [duplicate]

Solution : Enable Intel VT-x/AMD-V from BIOS

If you enable VT-x/AMD-V from BIOS and it still presents this error, try changing your guest settings to Type=Other and Version=Other/Unknown (64-bit).


Download the correct installtion file... you downloaded a 64 bit version but have a 32 bit system.

Get it from here (12.04). Choose PC (Intel x86) desktop CD and not 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD.

14.04 and 16.04.
