Happy to see Ubuntu is reselling Parallels Workstation. We this help get better support for this popular Linux distro? Thanks, Aaron
Trouble with Cannonical Repository Has anyone successfully used the parallels version available from the Ubuntu/Cannonical repository? I gave up after many tries and installed the .deb version direct from Parallels. But that didn't help either. I still haven't been able to install Ubuntu 7.10 as a VM under Parallels. System hangs during install of Ubuntu (can't escape mouse cursor with Ctl+Alt or move it at all). FYI, I never had this problem with Virtual Box nor with VMServer on the same host system.
I've tried the alt iso for kubuntu 7.10. Same cursor problems. I even downloaded the kubuntu updated parallels image (similar to a virtual appliance) from the parallels site. Same cursor lockup problem again. I conclude my parallels installation must be defective. Maybe the error was downloading the install from the Ubuntu commercial partner repository first, finding that it didn't work, then removing it (with apt-get remove) then downloading and installing the .deb from package from the parallels site. Perhaps the remove was not fully completed or ...??? I've spent many hours on this. Virtual Box and VMWare Server definitely work better with fewer problems.
