    Parallels Tools - any distros besides Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian & Kali?

    I tried with Rhino Linux - as it's Ubuntu based, I selected Ubuntu Linux as the OS type. After spending 2 days trying to get Parallels Tools to install I think I'm just going to have to wait for an update and hope. Just wondering if anyone at Parallels or with trial-and-error experience, has...

    Corrupt or black window for some applications

    This has been an intermittent problem for me since switching to Parallels for Apple Silicon. Sometimes after a Windows 11 update, the display for some apps is corrupt or black. It usually affects Microsoft Edge and the Terminal App: Removing Parallels tools fixes the display for these apps...

    Wayland support for Parallels Tools? (Dynamic Resolution, Clipboard, Coherence, etc.)

    What's the situation currently with Wayland support for Parallels Tools? I'm running Parallels Desktop 20.4 on macOS 15.5 with several Linux guests, but when those VMs log into the default Wayland session, all Parallels-specific integrations disappear. The most troubling is that there's no...

    Open-vm-tools and Parallels

    1. Do I need to uninstall open-vm-tools from my Linux systems that include it automatically (OpenSuSE and Debian)? 2. So far I just have left well enough alone - do Parallels Tools coexist with the open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop?

    WSL "Linux" entry in Explorer and Parallels Tools

    In the latest Parallels Desktop 20.2.2, with WSL correctly installed (on an Intel Mac), there seems to be a glitch in the Windows file manager: there, as we know, a "Linux" entry is created by WSL in the sidebar, and this should normally open an "Ubuntu" folder with the Linux file system inside...

    Is it possible to run Parallels DEsktop for Mac Pro Without Parallels Tools?

    If possible, I do not want the parallels tools installed as part of my system. I am using Parallels trial. When I created a debian instance as virtual machine, the Parallels desktop appears to have made it impossible to avoid installing parallels tools. The installation was an automatic part...

    The Linxu 6.12 kernel version is now in Debian Testing, and will be the new Long-Term Stable kernel as it was the last kernel released in 2024. As a result, many Linux distributions will be upgrading to it soon, if they have not done so already (as in the case of Debian). The failure appears...
