    Below is a patch to fix recent changes in uid/gid treatment for filesystems.
    Above also required changes in parameters parsing, so I replaced custom parameters parsing with Kernel's native routines.
    Not extensively tested but works fine for me.

    (I had to paste it here inline since Attachment upload is broken under Chrome and Firefox... which means TABs are not preserved)

    Usage:
    1) Mount Parallells Tools CD in virtual machine (Virtual Machine -> Install/Reinstall Parallels Tools)
    2) Make temporary copy of Parallels Tools, enter and patch it:
    $ cp -R /media/$USER/Parallels\ Tools /tmp/
    $ cd /tmp/Parallels\ Tools/kmods
    $ tar -xaf prl_mod.tar.gz
    $ patch -p1 -d prl_fs < parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch
    $ tar -czf prl_mod.tar.gz prl_eth prl_fs prl_fs_freeze prl_tg Makefile.kmods dkms.conf
    3) Install normally:
    $ sudo /tmp/Parallels\ Tools/install
    4) If successfully installed, reboot

    help

    Hi folks,

    I'm a complete linux novice... how do I 'patch' the parallels tools? I'm running Parallels 8 on an retina mbp. I'm trying to install parallels tools on a kali linux running 3.12 kernel.

    I tried creating a parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch file using the attached code.

    But I keep getting errors throughout. I need some help please.

    Thanks in advance!

    When you create the patch, you name it parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch
    and you copy it in directory : /tmp/Parallels\ Tools/kmods (where you have extract prl_mod.tar.gz)
    Il the file patch is named # you can adapt the commande line :
    patch -p1 -d prl_fs < file_name_of.patch

    Let me ask you, if I may. Does the name of the actual file (parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch) has anything to do with the effectiveness of the patch or can I name it anything I want?

    Cheers

    No, patch file name is absolutely irrelevant.

    Applied the patch to a Fedora 19 (kernel 3.12.11-201) system under Parallells 9.0.24172 and it worked like a champ.

    Tried to apply it to a Fedora 20 (kernel 3.13.3-201) system, but gdm bounces four times and quits. Even tried removing and reinstalling. No luck there, so far. Judging from Xorg.0.log, there might be an issue with prlmouse masquerading under Generic Explorer Mouse. /dev/input/mouse0 never gets generated: "No input driver specified, ignoring this device."

    ...check that, 19 had the same note in the log. However, PRL_GLX had a lot of stuff that ran in 19 that never seemed to kick off in 20, which seems to be the primary difference in the logs here.

    Sure enough, kernel 3.13.4-200 was just released, amongst other things. Updated the kernel, rebuilt/updated Parallel Tools, and voila... now it works with Fedora 20. It's quirky in that the display settings don't completely recognize it, nor does it remember the last screen size, but at least gdm no longer crashes.

    Hello,
    This method works fine with linux kali 3.12 kernel.
    First, copy the code to a file and rename as "parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch"; then do as eugenesan said.
    Second, this patch do work with latest parallels desktop version 9.024172.951362 and it's parallels tools, but in my apple mac air, a message will popup every time when I restart it, says that the system will not work at resolution 1280x800. I will check it when I free.
    Third, after you create the patch file, you have to move it into the directory of kmods.

    Thanks for eugenesan .

    Bye
