Android Studio, how enable vt-x archlinux+virtualbox

Hi!
I have windows 8.1 (host) and archlinux (guest) on virtualbox.

1) I read guide archlinux of KVM
2) My laptop (asus rog g751) have on bios vt-x enabled.
3) I have vt-x enabled on virtualbox + guest additions on guest vm

Who write me steps/guide for enabled vt-x on guest? IMHO all kvm manual archlinux is out of date.

egrep –c ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo response me: 0 i dont know why...

Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable.

Re: Android Studio, how enable vt-x archlinux+virtualbox

You can't run virtualization inside a virtualized environment (at least not with virtualbox).

What you need is nested virtualization. Or install and run Arch on a different partition.
