I also have that issue --- exactly the same.
History says Parallels Tools and openSuSE don't play well together.

cool, please update thread here when you have news about issue, i won't open sr then to not bother support as they have already one open.

I wouldn't call what I submitted is a case, it's a support request, and I can't even find a link as to the status of my support ticket... If you can actually open a formal case, then that could be very helpful.
 
"Response from support --
"Case escalated to the development team, no ETA but they're working on it."
So don't hold your breath but they're working on it.
 
I may suggest a dirty workaround of the problem if you want for not to wait for update of Parallels Desktop.
 
Here it is. It is not officially supported. You follow it on your own risk. Instructions are based on version 13.0.1.

First insert image with Parallels Tools into virtual CD drive. Then do these commands in guest terminal:
$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
$ mkdir ptools
$ cp -R /mnt/* ptools/
$ chmod -R +w ptools/
$ pushd ptools/kmods/
$ tar xf prl_mod.tar.gz
$ sed -i 's/4, 9, 0/4, 4, 76/' prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg_compat.h
$ mv prl_mod.tar.gz ..
$ tar czf ../prl_mod.tar.gz *
$ mv ../prl_mod.tar.gz .
$ popd
$ sudo ptools/install

tnx, buddy.
 
Is there an updated dirty workaround for the 13.3 ?
Tumvleweed seems to continue having issues when installing Parallel Tools. Installation fails again....
