I am having an issue when I try to launch Rancher Desktop. I am running Ubuntu version 18.04.6 LTS. I have a suspicion the error is because I need a newer Ubuntu version but I am not sure. Also, my CPU has virtualization enabled (checked BIOS) so I am not sure why it is doing this.

But for me it seems like processor is not capable of running KVM : https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-install-kvm

I just ran into this today. We had a power failure over the weekend and when I powered up my linux box it came up in BIOS and reset to the defaults.

On my system I found the Advanced menu, and had to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology.
