It would be very useful to be able to expose the vTPM to Linux guest VMs from an Apple Silicon Parallels host. There are use cases for this functionality such as officially signing kernel modules and firmware, storing ssh keys etc. Currently on 17.1.4 the option to add vTPM is hidden if type of...

Hello, I am trying to install CentOS for a course I am taking. However, every time I install the ARM64 version, like I did for Ubuntu, it just keeps looping on the BIOS screen asking which I would like to install. Does anyone have a tutorial or information on what I am doing wrong to cause...

A simple way for Parallels to improve their *nix support is to provide the ability to configure a vm to use open-vm-tools (open software). This would reduce the problems in *nix systems due to poor or non-support of various *nix drivers such as video, network, and SSD/HD.

1. Migrate to open-vmware-tools : they stay current with kernel and seem to have less 'hooks' into kernel to get messed up every release - I also run VMware and it has nowhere the issues I see with Parallels Tools on *nix. 2. Clearly state which linux distros are supported and what works at what...

Good Afternoon All, I am not sure if I am the only one having this issue however, up until around a month ago, I was able to have sound within my linux VM's (to be more specific, I use both kali and Ubuntu). That being said, over time, the sound would occasionally stop working which would...

I am using parallels desktop 17.1.2 (51548), MacBook Pro 16 (2019), with a 2.3G i9 processor and 32G RAM, macOS 12.3.1 installed. I saw the news that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS had been released, I am currently using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and I want to update to the latest version. Before starting the...

Trying to install the latest build of Fedora Linux 36 found here but it gets stuck at this screen after selecting "Install Fedora" in GRUB. I believe UTM had a similar issue that boiled down to a bug in QEMU introduced with Linux Kernel 5.17. Not saying Parallels uses QEMU, but could they be...

I run the test version of parallels 17. Under 'other' there are no options. I remember that I've seen screenshots of lots of other Linux versions there, even FreeBSD. Is this a limitation of the test version? I would really like to test out FreeBSD, but it does not work in the test version...

Hi, I have this installation: 1. Debian 11.2 server on IP 192.168.1.30 with samba, ssh, vnc. 2a. Host MacBook Monterey M1 on 192.168.1.10 2b. Client Debian Virtual Machine 10.211.55.26 shared network on Parallels 17 I have to connect the two machines in the network through the 192.168.1.0/24...

Hi, I have two questions about the network: 1. I installed Windows 11 in a MacBook ARM M1 pro and configured ssh server and client. From the MacBook I can access the Windows VM (shared network) either directly or via port forwarding (in Parallels Preferences): ssh myuser@winarm.local or ssh...

Ubuntu 21.10 fails to boot after updating from kernel 5.13.0-30-generic to 5.13.0-35-generic.

I have downloaded the aarch64 ISOs of CentOS 7 and 8, I've tried "minimal," "DVD," and "NetInstall," but none of them boot past the boot screen (I assume EFIstub). No matter what option I choose, it goes black for a second and resets to the boot menu, in whatever menu I was before. Here's a...

Hi All! I have Debian (aarch64 version) installed running on parallels and seem to be having issues with access to USB devices. Using a Coral AI offload accelerator (it's sold by Google), I'm able to see the device from within my Debian install, lsusb for instance happily shows the device on...

Device: Apple Macbook Pro (M1 Max) Host OS: MacOS Monterey When selecting an IMG or ISO (primarily Linux distros) from which to install an operating system, I'm warned that an OS can't be found inside the IMG/ISO. When I attempt to boot, it simply gets stuck in EFI/BIOS. I'm sure there's...

hi, I switched to M1 and I'm trying to play all my Virtual machines here too. I have already installed and configured Windows 11 and Linux Debian (from 10 to 12) ARM. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13 ARM, but I had some problems with ARM64: any advice? Then I would also like to have the old...

please, help, I wonder how to show a VM window on an extended external monitor. For example: I have a window with a virtual machine Linux Debian on Parallels, I can take it "by hand" with the mouse in the external screen, but in the "Window" menu there are no entries to automatically bring (and...

The clipboard & drag and drop features work in the default Ubuntu GUI environment, but not in i3WM. I'm wondering if there need to be any specific background processes running on Linux for these features to work. I've tried comparing the process list between the two environments, but the diff...

I noticed that video playback on YouTube is not very smooth and seems to use a lot of CPU. I assume that means no accelerated video decoding, is that something that is in the roadmap?

Dear all, i've installed Gentoo arm64 with xorg, KDE and such stuff, but im unable to get the Parallels org driver for X / GL or similar acceleration working manually. Parallels-Tools does not install out of the box - I had to comment "check_required_packages()" and copy an init script...

The new M1 Pro/Max devices include a 120Hz screen. It seems to be working well with Windows VMs, but has anyone gotten it working with Linux VMs?
