If I run this command on a terminal.

I am having the same issue. I am using Mac Pro with M1. Rancher desktop version is 1.4.1.

Please provide full log files; there is not enough information in the single error message you have shown.

How Can I extract full logs?

[danieldonoghue]

logs are in {{user}}/Library/Logs/rancher-desktop

I also had the same issues but have since downgraded but if my logs would still be useful, I can supply?

[danieldonoghue]

I also note that the error dialog says it's an x86 build instead of aarch64/arm64 and rancher-desktop was considerably slower using the 1.4.1 that older releases.

[jandubois]

The error message spells it out:

qemu-system-aarch64: Number of SMP CPUs requested (9) exceeds max CPUs supported by machine 'mach-virt' (8)"

This makes it a duplicate of #2190
