I'd like to know if anybody has a solution or has had the same problem with installing Parallels Tools under Ubuntu Tribe 3 edition? I install it it works all the way up til' i get to the screen in the terminal which asks if i want to install parallel tools and i answer "Yes". Then suddenly it automatically restarts to a constantly resizing window with a black screen that finally remains a window of one size, but the black screen stays. Any help would be most appreciated. Much gratitude in advance to anyone who helps!!

Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you'll get down to the login screen.
Still haven't managed to make it work, but I have managed to track it down to a problem with KDE once we have installed the parallel tools. Indeed, if you start X after installing the tools, you will see X windows works.
After installing the tools, if you start KDE, you will notice there is an error in the /var/log/kdm.log.
I'm guessing, you are encountering an error starting GDM in your case.

Not yet found out what is wrong with my KDE after installing the tools. I know that removing the tools lets me go back to KDE as if nothing has happened, but I can't figure how the tools would cause such an issue.
