Is there any plan to support Linux kernel 6.2?

I just installed new Ubuntu 23.04 and found Parallels tools doesn't support kernel 6.2,
which is used in the distribution as a default. I know it's my problem...
Did any one success the installation? Or any information that parallels tools support it?
 
I just encountered a botched upgrade from 22.10 to 23.04 due to parallels tools not supporting the 6.2 kernel, fortunately I was able to boot with the old kernel and uninstall the parallels tools, but now I have a fairly substandard experience.

Is there a timeline of when this will be resolved?
 
I encountered the same issue trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04. I was able to come up with a workaround until Parallels comes up with an official solution.

  1. sudo -i
  2. cd /var/lib/dkms/parallels-tools/18.2.0.53488/source (assuming you're on that version of parallels)
  3. grep -r 'MODULE_LICENSE("'
  4. In each instance where MODULE_LICENSE is defined, change the value from "parallels" to "GPL"
  5. apt update; apt full-upgrade; apt-autoremove

New kernel should now install correctly.
 
Linux kernel 6.3 is out. Not sure when that rolls down to distributions but would be nice to support as well.
 
This worked for me too.

I have updated to the latest version but the latest kernel 6.3 is still not supported
 
@StefanoP4 , thanks!

To let us better understand the situation, please elaborate a little:
1. What distribution and linux kernel are you running?
2. What is the actual behavior: are you experiencing issues running the virtual machine altogether, or are there any issues associated with installing/running Parallels Tools?

Thanks!
 
Due to EOL of Kernel 6.2, 6.3 will likely get pushed in Ubuntu as well in the near future. Debian is likely to upgrade post Jun 10th in the Sid branch.
 
I'm running Kali Linux 2023 fully up-to-date, and after the recent Parallels Desktop update, it keeps failing to update the Parallels Tools.

any suggests?

That's weird. Google suggests semoule_package is a RHEL/CentOS package. 'apt-file list semodule_package' reveals nothing in Kali. Tools works just fine for me on Kali. I'm working off of a Kali 2023.2a install with kernel 6.3.0.
