Possible Step 1 Oracle VM VirtualBox installation improvement #2472

Open hkcyf369 opened 5 years ago

hkcyf369 commented 5 years ago

Problem

For Windows 10 users, in order to successfully install and use the VirtualBox, it is necessary to enable the Intel virtualization technology. If the virtualization is disabled, when you try to do vargrant up prod, it will be likely to have an error as below :

VM_Error

Steps to reproduce the problem

N/A

Screenshots

N/A

Proposed solution

In Step1 "Troubleshooting", add this video (for Windows users): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxYaDQvJizU

hemu-codes commented 5 years ago

Could you maybe include some images of possible error messages that the installation gives to Windows users - because right now, it seems very vague and new users might not be entirely on when to use this solution.

SNutakki commented 5 years ago

I agree with hemu. Please add more details to your proposed solution and we can see if it's satisfactory.

hkcyf369 commented 5 years ago

Sure. I will add a screenshot. Thanks for the comments.

This is in step 1. I do not think we need to add it.

hkcyf369 commented 5 years ago

Oh, I'm sorry, I miss the prerequisites part. However, maybe we can add a line saying that:

If you see an error like this :

VM_Error

It is likely that your virtualization is disabled, please come back and make sure the virtualization is on.

@hkcyf369 I think that would be better. You can add this in the Windows troubleshooting section at the end.

lmmrssa commented 5 years ago

@hkcyf369 virtualization needs to be enabled in all OS if you have not enabled it on BIOS. Also each laptop manufacture has different BIOS configuration. Also video you proposed does not show anything about VT-x its is just showing how to get to BIOS.

ghost commented 5 years ago

I agree that the currently available instructions that state the importance of enabling virtualization in the BIOS are enough and I do not think it will be valuable to add error messages that can vary for each user.
