Description Allan Day 2013-07-11 15:30:09 UTC 
I had a situation recently when I tried to create a box, and the performance was absolutely terrible. Someone suggested that I might need to enable virtualisation in my BIOS, and they were right.

Boxes should really be informing users about this problem, if it exists.

We do show a warning at the review page in such a case. Are you sure it wasn't displayed? If not, please do provide the output of `gnome-boxes --checks` on that machine.

jimmac informs me that the warning is not very noticable so I'll change it to use GtkInfoBar.

Known issue: For some reason I failed to remove space from above, left and right of infobar. IMO it doesn't look too bad so I'll push this already. We can try to tune it later.
