Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon NB: The workaround approved by users is in the post # 86 (installing Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 and Parallels Tools). Hi, I just installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10. With Parallels Tools installed, the X-server just keeps restarting. Should I wait for a Parallels update or should I try something else? Output from X -version: X Window System Version 1.3.0 Release Date: 19 April 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3 Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8) Current Operating System: Linux next 2.6.22-12-generic #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 18:11:30 GMT 2007 i686 Build Date: 29 September 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I had a similar problem and tried a couple of different 7.10 disks (the desktop and the alternate). I wound up giving up and going back to 7.04 and then updating it to 7.10 here is a good description of how to update to the latest beta http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/...y-fawn-to.html don |

I actually did a distupgrade like described in your link. When the upgrade finished it could'nt load X. When I removed Parallels Tools, it loaded just fine. I have tried to reinstall Parallels Tools, but it still prevents X from loading properly. Which logs do you think I should dive into to get an error message? |

You are right, Parallel Tools kills Ubuntu 7.10 Sorry MitchB, you are right. Once tools is installed (I forgot that I had not installed it yet on my 7.04 ubuntu) everything craps out and removing it fixes things. And the tools are fine on 7.04 (I had a VM of that still kicking around). I have no clue as of yet to suggest where we should start looking and would appreciate any other ubuntu users chiming in at this point ;-) The only other thing I can add to this at this point is that obviously there is an issue here and it is not just something that you are experiencing. |

I haven't had any issues using Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. I installed it from a Beta disk about a week ago, and have had little issue. Parallel tools installed fine, and had no X-Server issues. On a couple of times though, when I would boot GDM would complain about Desktop Settings failing to start. Rebooting the system would fix it though. Don't know what to say....I have had very little issues with Parallels, period. Windows, Linux, Solaris have always worked fine for me. I would say try again with the latest disk from ubuntu.com. They are now on Release Candidates so it should be even more stable. Could have been an issue with Ubuntu and not Parallels, you never know. EDIT: I should note that I used the Alternative cd instead of the live boot cd. I prefer the alternative because I have more control over partitioning. And it is faster because your not running a whole operating system while installing. __________________ MacBook Pro 2.16 Core Duo 1 gig, 120 gig HD Parallels Desktop 5160 ---Parallels OS's--- Windows XP with Tools Windows XP Bootcamp with Tools Ubuntu with Tools |

Well 7.10 rc version with the alternate CD, parallel 5162 and it finally worked correctly. I have now the linux parallel tools which worked without screwing up the install. Now all I need to do is upgrade the 7.10 to the latest and greatest and see if it screws up anything (there is now an update available for KDE). |

My 7.10 works, but I don't think it has to do with the 5162, I'm guessing they repaired KDE, as I had found that the parallel tools weren't breaking X in the 7.10 rc as much as KDE couldn't start anymore. __________________ Mac Book Pro 17 WS, 2.5 GHz, 250Gb HD, 4Gb RAM, 10.5.5 External 750Gb Firewire drive Parallel 4.0 Beta, VMware 2.0 beta Win XP in Parallel with VS2008 Win XP in Parallel with Delphi 2005 & 2006 OpenSuse 11 in Parallel Kubuntu 8.04 in VMware |

I have Kubuntu 7.10 rc installed successfully, this is how I did it. Downloaded the Alternate CD iso file. Created a new Parallel VM machine with ubuntu selected. I defined the machine to have 512 Mb of RAM and 32Gb expanding disk. Selected the default values, and let it finish. Once it rebooted, I opened a terminal session using Ctrl-Alt-1, then selected to install the linux tools in the parallel menu. I used sudo mount /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom sudo sh parallels-tools.run sudo shutdown -r now And that's it its working fine. Last night I ran adept to update all of the packages which pushed in the KDE 3.5.8. I have to check what is the difference between what I have which is running and the current full release, otherwise its running fine. __________________ Mac Book Pro 17 WS, 2.5 GHz, 250Gb HD, 4Gb RAM, 10.5.5 External 750Gb Firewire drive Parallel 4.0 Beta, VMware 2.0 beta Win XP in Parallel with VS2008 Win XP in Parallel with Delphi 2005 & 2006 OpenSuse 11 in Parallel Kubuntu 8.04 in VMware |

This is what I found on the Ubuntu website. I am very unskilled when it comes to Linux. Can anyone give the the instructions how to get this file edited? I believe this may be the cause of my blank screen and attempts to reset screen resolution. Blank screen with some ATI hardware People with ATI display adapters may get a blank screen when loading X due to the driver being unable to initialize certain hardware. Upstream is working on it, and hopefully we'll be able to release an update for 7.10 soon after the release. In the meantime, add 'Option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false"' to the driver section of xorg.conf. Bug #132716 |

After numerous reboots and video card reset attempts, finally the desktop started. At this point, I went into "Screen and Graphics Preferences" and Selected VESA (Generic VESA Compliant Video Cards) and a generic LCD Panel 1024 x 767 with a 61hz refresh rate. Now I am doing fine and rebooting is perfect. I am sure my graphics card is not using the right drivers, but the Ubuntu site says that drivers will be coming for ATI compatible video cards... I believe on my MBP that this is the issue. Paul |

Anyone have luck installing Ubuntu 7.10 on Parallels? I keep getting the "The display server has been shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds" error. |
