Hi folks, My linux kernel is "Linux parrot 5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2parrot1 (2019-08-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux" I tried a lot of different solutions to install parallel tools, but my shots couldn't succeed.

Hi, I had the same issue on Kali linux (kernel versions above 5.1 seem to be affected). Check this thread: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/never-update-parallels-and-a-kernel-on-the-same-day.348256/ Basically the parameter PRL_DRM_VM_OPERATIONS_FAULT_X needs to be force set to "0" in prl_vid/Video/Guest/Linux/kmod/test/test_drm_core.sh (prl_mod.tar.gz under kmods in the installation folder). So as a workaround: 1. copy the install folder (cp -R) to your home folder. 2. untar/unzip prl_mod.tar.gz in the kmods directory. 3. modify prl_vid/Video/Guest/Linux/kmod/test/test_drm_core.sh and look for the line with 'PRL_DRM_VM_OPERATIONS_FAULT_X' and change it to: PRL_DRM_VM_OPERATIONS_FAULT_X=0 4. retar/zip your modification to prl_mod.tar.gz 5. Run the install
Hi, an update released recently targeting the issue, please refer to this comment in the thread that @CitizenHax quoted
