Running GUI Linux in a virtual machine on a Mac: Runtime error

I tried to build and run GUI Linux virtual machine on macOS Ventura 13.4.1 with Xcode 14.3.1.

I encounter the following runtime error:


Thread 1: Fatal error: Failed to retrieve the machine identifier data.


   private func retrieveMachineIdentifier() -> VZGenericMachineIdentifier {

    // Retrieve the machine identifier.

    guard let machineIdentifierData = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: machineIdentifierPath)) else {

      fatalError("Failed to retrieve the machine identifier data.")

    }


Any resolution is much appreciated!
