    Parallels & VMware coexist ?

    I was a staunch Parallels user since the original beta and then switched over to VMware (mainly due to the support of appliances etc). Now I'm having second thoughts. Is it possible for Parallels 4 and VMware to coexist "peacefully" on the same machine? Are there any "gotchas"? TIA, Peter

    Using Image Tool to increase NTFS partition ??

    I have a stupid question. If I cab use Image Tool to increase the VM size, it used to be that I had to have a tool that allowed WinXP to recognize that I had extended the partition. If I have an NTFS formatted drive can't I just use the drive services to extend the partition or do I still need...

    Parallels 3.0

    Hey MacGeek21, Um, sorry dude but I take exception to your comment about IBM and innovation. I happen to work there and I think you have absoluteoy no idea what you're talking about in relation to IBM my friend. Just posing the question "what do they do seriously anymore" shows a massive lack...

    Build 3120 and Leopard 9A343

    While it may be public knowledge that 9A343 is "available" the people to whom its available to are forbidden to talk about the fact that they have use of it by thier NDA. Yuu might want to read the doc you signed. Apple has demonstarted their lack of sense of humor about this issue a number of...

    Installing Sabayon 3.26...anyone?

    HJ, I'm running 3.26 on my MBP under 3120. I too have really taken a liking to Sabayon's distro. The issue with 3D is a non issue for me, since there is no 3D acceleration under Parallels for any guest OS right now. Personally I like the Sabayon distro a lot. It is occasionally a little...

    Build 3120 and Leopard 9A343

    UKP, 9A343 does not load Parallels 3120 build and in fact produces crash log in /Library/Parallels/Bugreports.. At present there are NO workarounds for this combination. I believe that earlier versions of PW will work with 9A343 but I can't verify that. BTW, you really shoudn't be posting...

    Question for the Parallels Guru's!

    BP, Are you referring to the U720 USB BBand adapter? IF so you should be able to just plug that into MBP and OSX should see it. AS long as the Adapter has been initialized by a windows box you shoudo be able to use it. I believe that the Verizon Accesss Manager actually supports that adapter...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3106 Beta 3 is available for download.

    My mistake! I've never seen this behavior before in previous builds, so it must now be enabled by default and I'd never seen this. Thanks, peter

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3106 Beta 3 is available for download.

    Why so many dock icons with Win VMs ??? This new build adds a dock icon for every running Window app??? Is this the way its supposed to be? Why? Please change it back, its just cluttering up my dock. is this intended behavior? Cheers, peter

    Some Linux distro's still dead in 3106

    As nice as 3106 is for Windows VMs its still got some problems with Linux distros. This is what I know so far... Working in 3106: SUSE 10.2 Kububtu 6.1 Ubuntu 6.06 NOT working in 3106: Freespire 1.0 (didn't work in 3094, worked in 3036)...

    Beta 3094 does not start up in Leopard

    Guys! I don't mean to be a jerk or broken record but you all do realize that you are violating your NDAs by posting anything about Leopard in public forums, right? Personally I don't really care but I've had several friends who have been booted from ADC for posting Leopard posts in public...

    Found screen res solution for Linux in 3094

    Bart, Did you use dpkg to reconfigure the screen res? Make sure that the 1440x900 is the first entry in your mode line as well. I'm able to get 1440x900 on my MBP (switching to full screen and configuring that res in my corg.conf) Strange! It is working for me on my CD MBP, don't know about the...

    Found screen res solution for Linux in 3094

    I know everyone has been having issues with screen resolution in 3094 with Linux distros, I know I have. I think I may have found a workaround for now.. If I step down the bit depth to 16 bit (instead of 24 bit) resolution I am able to get any resolutions I want. I use the following command...

    working xorg.conf for Kubuntu 6.1 and MBP?

    Actually I think I have found the solution. If I step down to 16 bit (instead of 24 bit) resolution I am able to get any resolutions I want. O use the following command line to setup everything instead of manually editting xorg.conf for resolution. You do have to edit it to change bit depth...

    working xorg.conf for Kubuntu 6.1 and MBP?

    Does anyone have a working xorg.conf file for Kubuntu that supportd 1280x800 or 1440x900 for a MBP? Ever since 3094 my Kubuntu Vm is stuck in 1024x768 or 1600x1200 and I can't for the life of me get anything else. TIA, Peter

    Parallels Desktop fails in Leopard (9a321)

    David, Not to be nit picky about this but... I assume that you got 9A321 through ADC or a valid Apple beta program in which case you should remember that you signed an NDA and have just violated it with this post. I would be careful of advertising that you're running Leopard builds, Apple tends...

    3094 Linux Video output: anyone able to get 1440x900?

    UGHHH! All my Linux distro's have been reset to 1024x768 and so far I've only gotten SUSE 10.2 to go 1280x800 but not 1440x900

    Suse 10.2 Hangs on Hardware Config

    Eodchop, I would recommend downloading and installing the pre-built SUSE 10.2 install from GFBurke. It works great for me on my MBP. I haven't tried installing it from scratch, with his prebuilts there is no reason to, frankly. Check it out... HTH, Peter
