Help! Running Parallels Version 10 for Mac Unable to install Parallels Tools on Fedora 23 Kernel: 4.4.7-300.fc23.x86_64 Getting an Error: An error occurred when installing Parallels Tools, Please go to /var/log/parallels-tools-install.log for more information.
Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. I followed that article to install Parallels Tools. I'm using Fedora Design Suite. If you're interested, you can download the Fedora Design Suite here. Here is more information about Fedora Design Suite. https://fedoramagazine.org/photography-fedora-design-suite/
Is there any update on this? I tried to install Parallels Tools onto a Fedora 23 guest (with the latest Fedora updates) today without success. I followed the instructions on the web page. I'm attaching the output of the installer below. Looks like this is some issue with the GPL and kernel modules. I am using Parallels Version 11.2.0 (32581). -----> snip <----- 016-05-31T16:49:31+0200: Parallels Tools 11.2.0-32581 Installer started. 2016-05-31T16:49:31+0200: Failed to setup console printk level. 2016-05-31T16:49:37+0200: execCmd: ./installer/pm.sh --check gtools [0] Started installation of Parallels Guest Tools version '11.2.0.32581' Tue May 31 16:49:37 CEST 2016 Start installation or upgrade of Guest Tools new version of parallels tools Installed Guest Tools were not found Perform installation into the /usr/lib/parallels-tools directory cat: /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/../version: No such file or directory Start installation of prl_eth kernel module make: Entering directory '/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods' cd prl_eth/pvmnet && make make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_eth/pvmnet' make -C /lib/modules/4.4.9-300.fc23.x86_64+debug/build M=/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_eth/pvmnet make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.4.9-300.fc23.x86_64+debug' LD /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_eth/pvmnet/built-in.o CC [M] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_eth/pvmnet/pvmnet.o LD [M] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_eth/pvmnet/prl_eth.o Building modules, stage 2.
