I downloaded an ISO of Ubuntu 24 but installation failed as an upgrade to Ubuntu 22 and installation failed as a new install. The installation froze on the screen titled "Develop with the best of open source" and I could not proceed and could not start the VM. Ubuntu 24.04 uses the Linux 6.8 kernel. I have Parallels v19.3.0
Unable to Install Ubuntu 24.04 on Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac Pro Edition

I have the same problem. I tried the suggestion of first install the server version and then apply the desktop. I went for the desktop-minimal version and perhaps that was a mistake as it works in principle, but there are odd errors during systemstart that can't get rid of. If they are serious or not, I have no idea and I think that time will tell. Hopefully will the installation problem be solved by then -- be it Ubuntu or Parallels that is at fault.
I was offered the 24.04 LTS upgrade within my 23.10 VM. It did install successfully. On startup, there are 2 system-networkd-wait-online.service/start delays that resolve after 2 minutes (each) of hanging, and a pd-mapper.service failure message. The desktop does finally appear after the 4 minute delay, and seems to work normally. I assume these login hangs will be resolved with updates of PD and/or Parallels Tools for Ubuntu.
I installed the Parallels 19.4 update, and updated the Parallels Tools in my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM. The systemd-networkd-wait-online.service/start delays and the pd-mapper.service failure persist, and along with a sessionc1.scope error during boot. Still, the desktop does appear normally after the 4 minute delay and the error messages.

Hi Robert,
Please reproduce the issue and collect a technical report (click Parallels icon > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in reply to this post.
Thank you. The report ID is 467163648.
I now have Parallels 19.4.1 (54985) and there are currently no updates. I downloaded a fresh Ubuntu Desktop ISO and chose to install a new VM from an ISO. It loads and informs me a new installer is available and I let it download that and it puts a new installer icon on the desktop. I re-launch the installer from the icon on the desktop and it gets a few steps into the installation process and I can see progress, but then it freezes and does not install.

@Adeboye Adeotan I have not yet heard back from you and want to be proactive and follow-up (please).
I have all the Parallels updates, and I got the ISO directly from Ubuntu's website. I allow the installation to use as much RAM, CPU, and disk space as needed. There are still problems installing. Thus I suspect the issue and the problem is that Parallels has not yet made itself compatible with the latest long-term-support (LTS) stable version of Ubuntu Linux.
Hello! I have the same "problem", loading time is much faster than reported by others but still annoying. I'm on a M3pro MBPro with 18G RAM.
My steps were:
- install ubuntu server (it's the only ISO for ARM right now)
- update to current
- install ubuntu-gnome-desktop with apt
- install parallels tools
