dvm starts but times out trying to communicate with box #14

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, Vagrant 1.4.3 and Docker 0.7.6.

I did the install, which btw created the .dvm directory as root and prevented me from running dvm up as a regular user.

After chmod -R me:me .dvm, I was able to run dvm up, but I just get the long "Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot" message.

dvm status shows the machine as up, but dvm ssh doesn't work either. dvm destroy seems to work ok though.

Separate question: does dvm work in windows?

I now believe this is due to my machine not supporting vt-x extensions. Running the native boot2docker script directly and this error message came up:

VBoxManage: error: VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole

I believe this was happening here as well but the error message wasn't coming up.
