Updating apps fails because virtualization is not supported.

[KristijanL]

Hi,

after upgrading from TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin to Cobia i cant update any of my running apps, i get an error

[EFAULT] This system does not support virtualization.
More info...

I am running TrueNAS ( CORE, SCALE bluefin / cobia ) for a long time as a VM in VMware, i know that virtualization is not supported as i didnt enable it and all apps were working fine before Cobia update. Why do we need virtualization for upgrading the apps, this must be a bug, or was something changed in Cobia so now the apps need virtualization?

Try turning off memory protection in windows security (win10 and win11). I had this recently after a windows security update with some VM's (not VMware ones though) and turned off memory protection in Windows 11 (win updates I read apparently have defaulted it to on going forward), rebooted and was able to re-enable the virtualization option that had become unchecked in the VM manager for all the VM's as apparently windows update had disabled it and the VM manager removed the option as it was no longer available.

It won't hurt and if it does not fix anything you can go back to the way it was.

I can't ( vmware esxi disabled nested virtualization if you have PCI pass through ) and don't want to enable virtualization. I know there are workarounds to enable it in esxi, but i don't need it.
i am just asking if this is an error on TrueNAS SCALE or is there really is a need for virtualization when running docker apps?
All the apps are running fine, i just cant upgrade them and cant find any bug report on this.
