Rosetta 2 no longer available under macOS 15 beta in Linux VMs

[MTRabbit]

I'm using Parallels Desktop 19.4.1 and 20.0, freshly download the Ubuntu image with Rosetta enabled, but I'm getting error messages when I try to run a AMD64 docker image.

parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~$ sudo docker run -it centos:7
[sudo] password for parallels:
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
rosetta error: Rosetta is only intended to run on Apple Silicon with a macOS host using Virtualization.framework with Rosetta mode enabled

It seems that Apple has changed how Rosetta 2 detect the running environment. Will there be a quick workaround to solve the problem?
Thanks!

New release today has this update listed:
https://kb.parallels.com/en/130212

• Fixes the issue of x86 apps failing to start in a Ubuntu Linux with Rosetta appliance on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS Sequoia 15;

I already downgraded to macOS 14 because I had to have Docker in Linux, so if anyone has any luck, please post here!

Yes. I can confirm this. I installed and tested it as soon as it was released. I was able to get an Ubuntu image with Rosetta support running and install SQL Server in a Docker image. But truly, what's the advantage of that? Just run it in docker on the host. It's been working great for me so far.

Since this Parallels update, I haven't had any issues. (Tested with an Apple M1 Max and macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 Version 15.0.1 (24A348))

Can also confirm it working on Apple M3 MAX / Sequoia 15.0.1 (24A348).

Still cannot get an Ubuntu amd64 (ubuntu-22.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso) image to boot with Rosetta enabled:

No boot devices appear or can be coerced to appear when the iso is selected and the CD/DVD is selected as first or "Select boot device on startup" shows the boot selection options. It simply does not appear.

Hello everyone,
I had the same problem and it was because after updating parallels I got logged out and THE LICENSE WAS DEACTIVATED without any notification!!
Try to login again, activate your license, reinstall parallels tools and reboot the VM.
