I'm experiencing this exact issue with Linux Mint 16 using Parallels 9. Anyone has a solution to this?

 

linux very google.
thanks very much.

 

Try adding the following line to your /etc/environment file and reboot:

This fixed the issue for me in the latest versions of Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary OS, and Fedora. Ubuntu still popped up a error dialog box on OS start complaining about a monitor setting, but it otherwise operated just fine after closing that.

 

This worked! Thank you so much.

 

Works perfect for UBUNTU 12.04. too. Thanks!
