Run x86_64 applications on Ubuntu 22.04.2 (x86_64 emulation)

Hello,
I'm new to using Parallels and would like some insight into the possibility of running x86_64 applications inside the Ubuntu 22.04.2 (x86_64 emulation) image. For context, I am on a Mac M1 Max Ventura 13.2.1. I'm trying to run a graphical application that was built for Linux x86_64 directly on the Ubuntu VM. Is this possible? I understand the base Ubuntu VM is for arm, but what does the x86_64 emulation add? Does it only add support for running x86_64 docker images or can a run x86_64 type of applications directly inside the VM?
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

According to the Parallel's article it "just works": https://kb.parallels.com/en/129871

... however in my experience, it will depend on what you want to run.

At a bare minimum, I'd recommend installing binutils:

Code:

sudo apt-get install binutils:amd64
# FIXES rosetta error: failed to open elf at /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

If you plan to use docker, fortunately there's a lot of internet forums discussing this. For the non-container work, it will feel more like a dependency hunt.

At time of writing this mileage will vary depending on the app. For example, the Intel version of Java (openjdk-11-jdk:amd64) installs rather painlessly, whereas many others do not work (e.g. snaps -- and from my testing -- AppImages -- do not work at all, others may run into dependency conflicts).

 

Any updates on this? I also need to run a certain x64 AppImage ...

 

Can you provide some more details? I'm not sure how fast this will get the attention of the Parallels support team, but perhaps a community member that has Rosetta working in Linux can test the app out? Lastly, some of these are limitations of how Linux handles foreign instruction sets/dependencies thereof, so the solution may require some creative thinking by the community.
