permissions - virtual box doesn't work on ubuntu 16.10 VT-x problm - Ask Ubuntu


after installing virtualbox in ubuntu 16.10 in thinkpad x201 laptop tried load ubuntu 16.4 x86 vm on , in regular user when click on start button run vm shows me popup windows message: error message

vt-x disabled in bios (verr_vmx_msr_vmx_disabled).  result code:  ns_error_failure (0x80004005) component:  consolewrap interface:  iconsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed} 

i checkout bios setting vt-x enabled , after surfing web problem find out regular user not member of vboxusers , perhaps thats why doesn't work , add regular user member group

sudo gpasswd -a kave vboxusers  

after when click on start button result same above ran virtualbox super user

sudo virtualbox 

then again create new vm root permissions , works !

my question why virtualbox doesn't work regular user ?
