VirtualBox on Slackware64-multilib only shows 32 bit client machine builds?
I installed the Oracle binary VirtualBox for amd64 under Slackware64-multilib. It installed find and I placed my user in the vboxusers group. I can start the VirtualBox GUI and loaded the extensions pack. However, when I create a new virtual machine only 32Bit versions are offered. I understood that both 64-bit and 32-bit machines should be supported on a 64 bit version of Slackware. My PC BIOS and CPU does NOT have the VTx switch available. I've read all the threads on LQ and even DDG'd many articles where some Slackware users say they too have VirtualBox on Slackware multilib. But what isn't clear is if they have 64-bit clients. So...
1. Can a multilib user please confirm if they have 64 bit clients running or only 32 bit?
2. IF 64 bit yes in question 1, THEN do you have your CPU virtualation bit set to yes?
3. IF VTx bit no in queston 2, THEN what steps did you use to install VirtualBox in order to get 64 Bit client support?
Thanks, Brian
