I am creating a cross platform mobile application using cordova. i am running the command



cordova run android 


and getting below error. The screen just hangs also.



CPU acceleration status: /dev/kvm is not found: VT disabled in BIOS or KVM kernel module not loaded


I entered below command to see if kvm is supported and it does as per below output but the below output is also suggesting to enable Virtualization from BIOS.



$ sudo /usr/sbin/kvm-ok

INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
HINT: sudo modprobe kvm_intel
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: KVM (vmx) 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


I tried entering the BIOS using F2 command but got below screen where I can't see an option to enable virtualization.

Then I tried with ESC key and got below screens. Here also I didn't see any option to enable virtualization.

  • Please update your question by posting some specs about your PC ( information about CPU). And did you check the Advanced section in the BIOS settings?

    I am not sure, but I think the virtualization options are in security section. Check this video it is in French, but you only need to watch the steps.

As we discussed in the comments, the Virtualization option is in the security section of the BIOS menu.

After you open the BIOS, scroll to the security options and enable the virtualization technology.

Then save and exit. After restarting your PC, the virtualization should be enabled.
