    hi all...
    i am running parallels 3 (build 5626) on a 15" MBP and just recently installed ubuntu 8.10 as a vm.
    i am in the process of trying to install parallels tools, but keep getting this error:

    Installation for xorg.1.5 not found.

    i made sure that i ran the apt-get for linux-headers etc. prior to trying to install p-tools, and i can successfully mount the cdrom and can execute the "sh parallels-tools.run" command, but continue to get the error above.

    i have shut down completely (both the vm and even as far as a complete shut down on the mbp)...nothing seems to help. i did notice in my search for an answer, that another user running fedora core 9 was experiencing the same error, however it was determined that fedora core 9 was not supported in parallels. is ubuntu 8.10 supported? if so...could anyone help me figure this out?

    any assistance is much appreciated.

    cheers!

    install parallel 4, the tools are working great with ubuntu 8.10.
    just mount and in a shell$ sudo ./install.
