    Parallels tools install fails - Parallels: 19.2.1, Ubuntu: 22.04.3 LTS, OSX: 12.6.6
    When I run install-gui to install parallels tools, as per the instructions, the install gets to 49% and then fails with the following message:
    "Restart the virtual machine and try again. etc etc".
    Followed the suggestions in this thread: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...s-and-why-it-stop-working.362913/#post-925585
    I get the same error messages in the log still:
    Code:
    2: /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg
    3: 20240222
    4: 1.10.2

    modprobe: FATAL: Module prl_tg not found in directory /lib/modules/6.5.0-18-generic
    Error: failed to install Parallels Guest Tools!
    
    I've attached the full error log to this post. Scrolling through it I see more than one message about a module not found.
    I did also see this thread which has a solution: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...lels-version-19-0-0-54570.361550/#post-920602

    But that's on a different VM OS, so I don't know if it applies here and making changes like that are a bit over my skill level if something goes wrong.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, I realized that I could make the symlinks, run the installer, and then remove them as a way to prevent some other thing in Ubuntu getting confused by the changes in the future.

    So, that's what I did and with this process, the installer works properly!
