How To Resolve Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v2
Have you encountered the frustrating “Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86–64-v2” while attempting to install RHEL or another Linux OS on UTM? This error occurs because the default CPU selected by UTM does not meet the minimum requirements set by Red Hat. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to resolve this issue and get your Linux OS up and running smoothly.
Identifying Your CPU Model
Before we begin the solution, it’s essential to identify your CPU model. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type the following command: “sysctl -a | grep brand”
3. This command will display your CPU brand and model. Make a note of it.
Determining Your PC Generation
To determine your PC’s generation, which is crucial for resolving the error, visit this [link](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/complete-guide-to-intel-cpus-generations-names-good-and-bad.4281279/). This resource will help you identify your PC generation based on your CPU model.
Resolving the Error
1. Close the error window if it’s currently open.
2. Proceed to edit the selected virtual machine (VM). You can find this option at the top right corner (the last button).
3. In the VM settings, navigate to the “System” section, specifically the “CPU” configuration.
4. Search for your PC generation among the available options, and choose the one that includes “V2.” For example, if you are using a fifth-generation CPU like the Intel Core Processor (Broadwell) without TSX, select “Intel Core Processor (Broadwell, no TSX) (Broadwell-v2).”
5. After selecting the appropriate CPU configuration, save your settings.
6. Now, run your Linux OS installation process again.
Testing the Solution
Upon completing these steps, your Linux OS installation should proceed without encountering the “Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86–64-v2” message. Your chosen CPU configuration will meet the required specifications, allowing for a successful installation.
By following these instructions, you can overcome the CPU-related error and ensure that your Linux OS installation on UTM runs smoothly. Say goodbye to installation hurdles and enjoy your Linux experience.
