Parrallels Toolkit Breaks Kali Rolling

After installing Parallels Toolkit to a Kali VM I get this screen upon reboot

I have been able to reproduce this twice on my personal machine now. Here are the steps.
1. I am using the Kail 64bit ISO from https://www.kali.org/downloads/ in Debian Linux VM
2. Once the VM is installed I do the following terminal commands

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade -y
• sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
• restart

3. Then I try to install the toolkit by mounting the cdrom from the nav bar and then

• umount /media/cdrom
• mount -o exec /media/cdrom
• cd /media/cdorm

I did those steps in 2 because of the comment from https://forum.parallels.com/threads/kali-2016-cant-install-parallels-tools.331796/ User MauricioB1. I was having problems related to that thread.

 

Same problem here!
macOS Sierra 10.12.2 (Host) and Kail 64bit (Guest)

 

Actually, any display manager fails to start. Lightdm simply fails with blank screen, with sddm from KDE I've got segfault:

Seems that this is X server startup problem because other system parts operates normally.

 

Yep, it is it. Here is X server log:

I've decided to run Kali from VirtualBox, because using it without VM tools is a subpar experience.

 

Same problem here!
macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (Host) and Kail 64bit (Guest).
There's some workaround?

 

Hi, please fix.

Not very funny to spend hours on debugging this problem

 

With today update (12.1.2 - 41525) isn't possible install parallels tools.
/tmp/installer/installer.x86_64: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token ')'
someone has same problem?

 

This issue seem to be solved now. First I updated to Parallels to 12.1.2 (41525), then I installed Kali from kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso and ran dist-upgrade before installing the drivers.

 

Same problem! OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (Host) and Kail 64bit (Guest).
Just update Parallels Desktop to version 12.1.2.

 

after dist-upgrade on existing Kali VM all worked fine

 

Hi, I updated my kali2.0 last night by using apt-get update & dist-upgrade, and this morning i found the same problem as yours. what's your solution? i have updated the parellel to 12.1.2.

 

after apt-get update you have done apt-get upgrade? with parallels 12.1.2 build 41525 I've resolved after dist-upgrade and reinstall tolls

 

the question is : last night i update my kali using(update first, and then dist-upgrade) in old version parrallels, this morning , i started the kali but not success(the same picture as you captured)~and then i found your answer(by updating parrallels), but it did not work~
