I use Mint on a laptop so I know all the tweaks and tips to running Linux in a laptop environment. Has anyone experimented with setting up a laptop Mint environment under Parallels to maximize battery time, reduce SSD wear, etc ? I would assume that the normal "bare metal" setup tips apply to a...

Dears I'm having a lot of troubles trying to install parallels tools for Gentoo Linux. Being a source distribution and a simple target, considering that is one of the most used distribution for developing, I'd like to have a big support on that. Considering also that supporting this kind of...

Hi there - does the Touch ID feature only work with Parallels instances of Windows 10? Or, can it be customized to work with Linux installs too? When I was reviewing the literature, I thought that it'd be great to be able to use touch to login to VMs, but I'm not seeing that as a possibility...

fix EBADF error

Hi, I tried Google I read the other posts regarding this but nothing helped. I consistently get slow DNS-resolution no matter how I resolve. I created a trace of a dig request with trace enabled where you can see that the initial resolve takes 5 seconds. I have a lot of vms which are created by...

Is the information at http://blog.parallels.com/2015/03/31/virtual-machine-performance-myths-debunked/ still current? In other words, are 2 virtual cpus the sweet spot for Parallels VMs? The referenced article talks about Windows - same thing for Mint (i.e. Ubuntu) Linux?

Hello! I'm running CentOS with the latest 2XClient installed. I've moved the 2xa files we were provided over from windows and I'm able to start 2x from command line using ./appserverclient -i /2xafile.2xa Everything launches as it's supposed to, however, when I disconnect the file is removed...

I installed Kali linux as a guest OS with Parallels and everything seems to work just fine. The only problem is that I can't set Kali to have a 1920x1080 resolution, the closest options I have are 1920x1200 (16:10) or 1600x1200 (4:3) and other 16:10 or 4:3 resolution. There are no 16:9...

Hi, is someone having the same issue ? Under Linux Mint 18 and Parallels 13 (MacPro i7 16Gb Ram ) when suspending the VM and restarting it Cinnammon always crashes with this message: Cinnamon just crashed. You are currently running in Fallback Mode. Any suggestion ? Thanks,

My use case is this: I have source code on my macOS filesystem, which I edit there using an IDE. That same code is transpiled and executed in a Linux guest, via Parallels Shared Folders (PSF). In the Linux guest, tools like node are using inotify to know when to re-run the compilation. The...

Hi everyone, I am running Ubuntu Server 16.04 in Parallels to support a local development server for the website I work for. It has always worked as expected, but today I updated Parallels and it no longer works. The files I work on are in my Mac OS filesystem in a folder in my home directory...

Does anyone know if the Parallels file system (prl_fs) isn't compatible with libaio or has issues with libaio? We have software that accesses the filesystem using libaio and we are getting odd failures from libaio when accessing files on a prl_fs mount where we don't and never have from other...

As suggested in response to my tweet, here is a feature request requesting to enjoy Parallels on other platforms - Windows, Linux etc. Parallels is the awesomeness of a Mac today. Would be great to have it on other platforms.
