Some were confused, here's a complete screencast of the process outlined below:

- Install with the ISO when creating a new guest/vm in Parallels 17
- Update System
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgradethensudo reboot - Login and install:
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop - Reboot (
sudo reboot) - Parallels Tools Installation: two options
Use Menubar:
- Menubar → Actions → Install Parallels Tools
- Install via shell:
cd /media/USERNAME/Parallels\ Tools sudo ./install sudo reboot
Use ISO: mount Parallels ARM64 tools ISO and install:
- Note: initially I installed Parallels Tools before installing the graphical user interface, but if you install it after the installation of
ubuntu-desktopor evenkde-standard/full/whateverthen copy paste, etc. functionality will also be installed.
- CD-ROM: "Connect image..."
- Navigate to

DOCKER:
There was a question below about whether or not Docker can work with Ubuntu 22.04 on Apple Silicon. The answer is YES. The catch or hang up that people are hitting is when they try to use "Docker Desktop" on Ubuntu (instead of directly on macOS). This tries to run a nested virtualization scenario and Apple does not have this instruction set available on the M1 series of Apple Silicon devices. The key, however, is to just use Docker itself with something like a tutorial from here:
You'll then notice that after you successfully set it up and run docker run hello-world that it does work. Furthermore you can do install distributions like Alpine and run them:
$ docker pull alpine
$ docker run -it alpine
/ # ls
bin dev etc home lib media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
/ # exit
$ docker image ls

Total reclaimed space: 5.331MBI tried creating a VM on my M1 with Parallels 1.7.2 (23531) and ubuntu-22.04-live-server-arm64.iso. But after the Grub screen a blank screen appears which stays forever.
So I have to assume that the installation fails/hangs. Is there any special setting that I have to apply (BIOS/UEFI, ...) that makes it boot successfully?
I also tried to remove the quiet parameter from the boot command in grub, then I'm getting the following output:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...What does it mean and what could I do about it?
Thanks
8I had the same issue, as Stephan, with installing Ubuntu 22.04 on a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) M1 Pro with 32 GB RAM. I had the Apple store version 1.7.x (I think it was 1.7.2). Per the advice in the accepted solution above, I removed Parallels from my machine, logged into my parallels.com account, and re-installed parallels Version 17.1.2 (51548)) after downloading and activating the new install, I followed the advice given above accepted solution and Ubuntu 22.04 is now running as per the accepted solution answer.
I should mention that I did have issues getting the parallel tools installed. In the end, what I did was to click the warning icon at the top of the VM window warning me that the tools need to be installed. That apparently mounted the disk and installed the tools.
My gut feel is that there is a difference in the Apple store version I was using. I have not confirmed that, to be sure, but the actions I took certainly seems to indicate that so.
UPDATE 5/4/2022Based on a support email I received from parallels.com, the Apple store version I had installed was parallels desktop and is not the same as the parallel Pro version I purchased on the parallels.com web site. I was sent the following link for future information, but in a nut shell, I do believe that parallels pro was required in my case.
