    Hi

    I have Parallels 7 and I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 in a virtual machine. Host is Mac OS X Lion.

    I need to ugrade the Parallels Tools but I am encountering a problem.

    I have enabled the root account in Ubuntu and logged in as root.

    I mount the Parallels tools disk image using the "Update Parallels Tools" command in Parallels.

    I open a terminal and drag the "install" file from the disk image to the terminal window.

    I get this line:

    root@ubuntu:~# '/media/Parallels Tools/install'

    So I hit return and I get this:

    /media/Parallels Tools/install: line 478: /media/Parallels Tools/installer/installer.x86_64: Input/output error

    I wonder what the problem is?

    Thank you

    It looks like nobody knows the answer to this :(

    Well, I have just tried updated Parallels Tools in Ubuntu again now and it has worked!

    I used exactly the same procedure as I described before.
