I just started an install of KVM to support minikube on Ubuntu 18.04.3. I can second the behavior noted here in this bug report. And as of today it is still an issue.
Here is console log of the issue as I am seeing it: ken@docker:~$ grep -E --color 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon nopl xtopology tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc cpuid pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx hypervisor lahf_lm pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp tpr_shadow vnmi ept vpid tsc_adjust arat md_clear flush_l1d arch_capabilities flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon nopl xtopology tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc cpuid pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx hypervisor lahf_lm pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp tpr_shadow vnmi ept vpid tsc_adjust arat md_clear flush_l1d arch_capabilities flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon nopl xtopology tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc cpuid pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx hypervisor lahf_lm pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp tpr_shadow vnmi ept vpid tsc_adjust arat md_clear flush_l1d arch_capabilities flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon nopl xtopology tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc cpuid pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx hypervisor lahf_lm pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp tpr_shadow vnmi ept vpid tsc_adjust arat md_clear flush_l1d arch_capabilities ken@docker:~$ egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo 4 ken@docker:~$ sudo cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities cat: /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities: No such file or directory ken@docker:~$ sudo kvm-ok INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used ken@docker:~$ egrep -c ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo 4 ken@docker:~$ uname -m x86_64 ken@docker:~$ sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils Reading package lists...
