Error configuring Parallels on linux with kernel 2.6.19

[TRISTAN]

Thank you very much

You are right, I don't create the symbolic link for bash

I think I figured this out for Edgy and it may work for Feisty.

Ubuntu uses dash as an alias for sh. After I created a new symbolic link for sh, everything worked.

sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.bak
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
sudo parallels-config​

I had to create the link for bash and copy over the prlnet.c file. After that parallels-config ran without a hitch. Thanks. This one had me chasing my tail for a day.

For God sake why can't it run just in one command?
This is really making me angry

More Problems

Hi all,

Have the exact same errors, and have replaced prlnet.c issued cammands, and drivers complied ok.

Now when I go to run parallels I get:

/usr/lib/parallels/parallels-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any help please...

This is driving me nuts.

Install compat-libstdc++

I'm still getting an error after following everything.

prlnet.c:1174: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

it has something to do with the vma variable, because there's about 15 more of the same error

any help?

 

[mgray88]

ok, got it workin

just had to replace the prlnet.c file, which i apparently hadn't done

More problems compiling parallels

Got past the first hurdles but now I get the following:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build SUBDIRS=/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor SRCROOT=/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic'

Parallels originally worked for me. For those interested here is the full log.

I replaced this file but am still getting a partial config. This is the error I'm getting.

Any Thoughts?

in "/usr/lib/parallels/autostart/drivers_start"

at the very top change "#!/bin/sh" to "#!bin/bash"
that fixed it for me

 

[gcarvell]

Thanks!!!

The above perlnet.zip worked for me too. I'm using Slackware 12.0 and kernel 2.6.21.5.

I'm trying to get Parallels Workstation working on a Feisty installation and while a lot of the stuff here has helped, it's not quite perfect. First, I tried getting my old 2.1 .deb file to install and after making the sh->/bin/bash change and the prlnet.c change, I'm stuck with what I think is the same problem as sureshkmit above. Before all these repeated lines start, the first error is:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6\
.20-16-generic SRCROOT=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic modules && mv -\
f hypervisor.ko hypervisor.o
make[1209]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long

Then I tried installing the special ubuntu 2.2 .deb that Egurt so nicely provided. It installs and configs cleanly, but then aborts very quickly when I run it. It brings up the "Startup Options" dialog, but then as soon as I pick an image, it aborts. It works if I run sudo, but I really wish I didn't have to do that.

It also seems to run fine under the default Metacity window manager, but when I use the Beryl window manager, the window becomes mostly transparent and completely unusable.

I followed the directions above, and Parallels works without a hitch on Feisty. Thanks much to all who contributed to the work around!

To compile on 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 should only require changes to the prlnet.c driver. These are similar changes the Cisco VPN client needs and have already been posted in this thread and others. I've put the fixes together in one file and uploaded it here

Extract the .c file and copy it to /usr/lib/parallels/drivers/drv_net/linux/ overwriting the original. Then re-run parallels-config.

I take no credit for finding the fixes, I merely put them together to help others out

Can not compile and/or link drivers. Read /usr/lib/parallels/doc/INSTALL
and follow instructions specified in this document.

Compilation log is available at /usr/lib/parallels/comp.log.11383.error

????????

doesn't allow to paste any file in the folder you said.plz hhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllpppppppppp!!!!
