I've been using Windows for years and thought I'd give Linux a try. As listed in the title, I'm trying to run Ubuntu through Oracle's Virtual box. When I go to the Install for Ubuntu, I get a black screen saying that the kernel version I am currently using is i686 rather than the x86-64 CPU...

Where do I go from here?

  • I've downloaded the 64 bit version. I've gone through my settings on virtual box and find no where where I can switch the architecture over to a 86-64 system. I'm about to try the 32 bit version. – user222263 Dec 05 '13 at 17:38
