OpenSuse 12.1 & Paralles tools: setup problems. Help?

[BojanA]

I have installed the new OpenSuse 12.1 (64 bit) DVD. But I can't setup Paralles tools. Is it just too new?

Here the error log:

Which version of Parallels are you using? The latest available build is 7.0.15052.

EDIT: I just downloaded OpenSUSE 12.1 (openSUSE-12.1-GNOME-LiveCD-x86_64) and installed it using 7.0.15052. Everything appears to be working fine.

I have the same problem here. I did a full KDE install from the latest OpenSuSE DVD, and upon installing the parallels tools I run into exactly the same issue.
I have the 64bit version installed with BTRFS as main filesystem.
But I assume the tools simply are not ready for the kernel revision of this release.

Did you install Parallels tools?

[JEarles]

Yes, I did install Parallels Tools.

As mentioned I was using the Gnome version, so maybe it is KDE related. I'll give that a go this evening.

[BojanA]

I have it! Even if I had version 7 of Parallels, strictly the latest, meaning version 7.0.15052 is required!

It was not mentioned in the knowledge base, that this update brings support for Kernel 3.1.

 

[WernerP]

This could be the issue, I am on an older version of Parallels, updating as we speak.

 

[WernerP]

Ok updating was really the resolution to the problem. The tools now have installed.
Thanks for pointing out that a new version was out.
