Ubuntu 6.06 and Parallels

I had Parallels installed on my Ubuntu 6.06 system earlier and had no problems. I decided to purchase it for that reason, no installation problems. I had a serious hardware problem and decided to upgrade my computer. I now have a AMD dual core CPU and two SATA drives, one with Ubuntu and one with XP. I installed Parallels on my Ubuntu 6.06 system and now when trying to "parallels-config" I get the following message:

Compiling Parallels Workstation 2.2 drivers...

Can not compile and/or link drivers. Read /usr/lib/parallels/doc/INSTALL
and follow instructions specified in this document.

I have the correct linux-headers installed and I can't get it past this point. Any sugguestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi.

Please send log file to us, or post it here.

 

You probably need to install the compilers and the qt3 library too
Type sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt3-mt

 

Thanks David

David,

Thanks for the information. It is working now.

Woot! Glad to help

 

I'm currently evaluating Parallels 2.2 on Kubuntu 6.06. I've finished installing (using the .deb package) and confugration (parallels-config). I get this error message when I try to issue "parallels" from the command line:

Code:

Parallels Workstation 2.2 RC critical error! Send log file ( /usr/lib/parallels/bugreports/parallels-fault-020603.010906.14678.log ) to reports@parallels.com


/usr/bin/parallels: line 12: 14678 Segmentation fault      /usr/lib/parallels/parallels-linux
[someone@localhost:tmp]$ cp /usr/lib/parallels/bugreports/parallels-fault-020603.010906.14678.log /tmp/parallels-fault-020603.010906.14678.log.txt

Any ideas what's wrong?

 

Someone else had this problem a bit ago and it was related to a library being renamed on launch. Try running Parallels as root and see if it helps: sudo parallels

 

Hmm... it worked with sudo. Is there a way so that I don't have to run Parallels as root?

 

Check the following post: http://forum.parallels.com/thread4495.html
Looks like a workaround in Parallels with the qt3 library.
