Replacement for HAXM on ubuntu - says Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator is not compatible

Solution 1:

Check if your CPU supports hardware virtualization, by typing:

egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

If the result is 0, your CPU does not support hardware virtualization, which is necessary to run the KVM. If you get 1 or more, that means you’re fine.

Next, install KVM. First make sure if your processor supports KVM by typing:

kvm-ok

You will see this if that’s the case:

INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used

If this is the result, you need to turn on Intel VT in BIOS:

INFO: KVM is disabled by your BIOS HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT), and then hard poweroff/poweron your system KVM acceleration can NOT be used

The next step is to install the KVM and a few other packages needed. To do so, type:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils

Add your user to some groups, replacing by your own username:

sudo adduser <user> libvirtd
sudo adduser <user> kvm

Check if everything is ok:

sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list

Source.
