Duplicated my MacOS 12 VM and installed the update to Ventura into one of them. Progress bar froze at ~ 95% of the way through and then it apparently either crashed or attempted a reboot that didn't work. Stopped it then started it; Okayed the "you must've crashed" screen, it booted all the way to desktop, showing icons and menu items, working clock, etc, but there's no mouse (doesn't respond to keyboard arrow keys either). It never did the usual thing of auto-prompting the installation of Parallels Tools so I invoked the menu item for "reinstalling" them, which worked, rebooted after tools were installed, still no working mouse. I had this happen once previously, when trying to install MacOS 10.12 over a clone of a 10.11 environment. That, I believe, was under Parallels 12. This current attempt was under Parallels 17. HostOS is MacOS 10.14. Anyone able to get a Ventura (non-beta, I mean, the full public release version) working as a VM? If so what ver of Parallels / what host OS?
I've now made several attempts, starting from a clone of 10.14, a clone of 12.5, a clone of 11.x... the ones that make it to a Desktop won't respond to mouse or keyboard, and the ones that land on an OS Login screen waiting for my password (some do, I don't know what makes the difference) won't accept keyboard input for the password.
Downloaded the trial version of Parallels 18, since the version I've been using is 17. I was able to upgrade a MacOS 12.x VM to Ventura (13.1) and this time the mouse works, but the VM has no internet. I've tried with the default Shared Network and also with the Bridged Network; the real machine has both ethernet and WiFi. Neither one seems available to the Ventura VM. Don't think I'll bother paying for Parallels 18 until it can run Ventura.
A Parallels tech via telephone call got my Ventura VM's internet working by having me open the Configuration, deleting "Networking" entirely from the list of individual configurations, then adding it back with default options.
