On my VC Linux desktop there is a 'shared Parallels Folder' with a padlock icon on it. I have been trying for a few weeks to command Gnome Terminal to direct to it. It fails to recognise this folder as a directory.
I have tried quite a few commands eg,
cd Desktop/shared Parallels Folder
The response is no such directory. Is it to do with the padlock on the folder? I really don't know what to try next. I need to access files on my mac. Please help!
I can install Ubuntu 13.10 in parallels ok and then log in. Problem is Ubuntu does an update and I get black screen / desktop such that I can't see any app windows that I open. I've tried a few of the other suggestions and they don't work for me.
I'm not normally a fan of mac software implementations, but recently I saw a copy of Parallels Desktop for mac that I was very much impressed by. I looked into parallel's offerings for Linux (I was initially excited that they developed for *nix) but found that it has essentially the same features as VMware.
Does anyone know if there is a software solution for linux that offers the level of integration that the current Parallels Deesktop for mac has? I looked into wine for the programs I want to run and was very frustrated. I feel like all the ratings in their application database were fabricated honesty. I've tried wine once every Ubuntu release since 8.10 and have never gotten it to work stably.
I was already running the latest Parallels 7 build when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Dynamic resizing of the screen was working in prior versions of Ubuntu. In the process of trying to fix this I reinstalled the Parallels Tools and it made no difference. The screen resolution is "stuck" at 800x600 -- Thats all that the system can detect. I have 256MB configured for video memory in the VM.
Output from xrandr:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 75.0*
I would try to add a screen resolution, but I don't know what the Parallels VM supports.
Has anyone figured this out?
I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 running on Parallels 6 (latest update from yesterday) on my iMac. I click on the Install Parallels Tools in the Parallels Desktop Menu, but do not see where what I think should be the file prl-tools-lin.iso is placed.
Don't understand whether the warning that I may have to do mount -o exec applies to me or not. Think I might be able to mount and run the .iso file, if I can locate it. Any ideas?
