I tried to create a virtual ubuntu machine on my true nas server. However, I couldn figure out how to display it.
Virtualization is enabled at motherboard.

Add a VNC device or use the serial console to access the VM. Then once it is set up you can use SSH.

Why are you posting in the FreeNAS legacy part of the forum? You won't get many answers here.

Second, add a VNC device or use the serial console to access the VM. Then once it is set up you can use SSH.
I couldnt even setup the iso file my serial is not working(ubuntu desktop version)

VM's are typically accessed via virtual serial console or virtual VNC console. There should be a section in the user manual on this.

Sorry for the mess folks, user posted the same article twice, once in a bad place, and merging them back together was a bit messy. I'm going to leave it as-is at this point, even if it is a bit rough to read.

You need to set the boot loader type to UEFI. Missed that at first, sorry.

This setting is for the emulated boot method for your VM. Doesn't say anything about how your system boots TrueNAS.
