Hi, I've successfully installed quite a few linux distros under parallels. I've honestly had the best luck with SUSE 10.0 and SUSE 10.2, but have also gotten (K)Ubuntu 6.06 up and running as well by giving only 512 MB of memory (which I read I think in these forums at some point). I...

I just had this same problem attempting to install on a Windows box. Basically I just killed the virtual machine when I was stuck at hardware detection and forced a reboot. When SUSE asked me if I wanted to continue the installation I said no, and upon my first login SAX prompted me to set...

To fix the lock at 800x600 I actually made the change in the menu.lst file. It seems that grub was locking my resolution. Once I changed the vga option in grub it worked fine. Actually, in thinking about it, maybe removing the vga option on the kernal line would have been better, then I could...

I was having this problem in all distros, with SUSE locked at 800x600 and ubuntu flavors at 1024x768. What I actually did was follow this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=kernel+booting+parameters and go make the change in grub. It seems that grub...

I'm hoping that the answer lies in my xorg.conf file. It looks like what I have is limited to 800x600 there. As for YAST, if I got through the GUI I get tons of options, but upon testing it instantly reverts to 800x600. If I try and change the display through Kcontrol (peripherals) I can...

Hi, I'm running Parallels 2.2 Beta with SUSE 10.0 as a guest on a Windows XP host IBM Thinkpad laptop. I would love to get something larger than 800x600 but anytime I try to set the resolution in the guest OS it is immediately bumped back down to 800x600 by SaX. I have set 1280x1024 and...

Hi, I am currently running SUSE 10.1 as a guest OS on Windows XP. I would like the two machines (real/virtual) to share a folder. I would just use samba on the Linux side but I am on a specialized domain at work and having some trouble (meaning I'm not smart enough to figure it out)...

I am running SUSE 10.1 as a guest OS on a XP-based Winbook. USB drives show up great for me in Parallels. My problem is that if I insert a USB stick drive Parallels grabs it and Windows XP has no idea it is inserted... Is there something I am missing?

Cannot get proper laptop resolution Hi, I tried to configure the proper screen resolution in the hardware configuration portion of the install (SUSE 10.1) at 1280x800 @ 60hz 16:10 but it will always default back to 1024x768 which is too large height-wise for my screen :( Any tips? Is this...
