Attempting to build Ubuntu 20.04 w/ Parallels on M1 boots to Parallels ARM Virtual Machine configuration

[svpernova09]

Version

Main Branch 53462a1

Environment

Parallels Desktop 19 For Mac Pro Edition Version 19.0.0 (54570)
macOS 14.0 (23A344) M1 2020
Packer: 1.9.4

Scenario

Build a fresh Parallels VM for via os_pkrvars/ubuntu/ubuntu-20.04-x86_64.pkrvars.hcl.

Steps to Reproduce

packer build -only=parallels-iso.vm -var-file=os_pkrvars/ubuntu/ubuntu-20.04-x86_64.pkrvars.hcl ./packer_templates
parallels-iso.vm: output will be in this color.

Expected Result

Expected the VM to boot and be provisioned by packer.

Actual Result

The VM boots to the Parallels ARM Virtual Machine configuration.

It looks like you're trying to build an x86_64 VM on an Apple Silicon machine. I don't believe this configuration is supported by Parallels.
