    HOST: OSX 10.12.6
    GUEST: KALI 2017-1
    PARALLELS: 11.2.3

    After manually installing the required dependencies requested by Parallel Tools:
    linux-headers-4.12.0-kali1-amd64, dkms, kpartx, printer-driver-postscript-hp

    The installer fails to recognise that I've installed the printer-driver and gives me
    the log output below. I've tried creating the link described in another forum but that
    didn't seem to work. The log output seems to suggest more serious implications.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Linux kernel 4.12 is not supported in Parallels Desktop 11. You should either upgrade to Parallels Desktop 13 or use older kernel.

    What is with Parallels Desktop 12? I used the workaround and it works, but some updates later I had the same issue and the workaround didn't work again

    Yes this one - it worked before, but after some updates, I got the issue again.

    Anything new on this topic?
    After trying so many things, I still get the same error after trying to install Parallels Tools on Kali:
    When I start the installation process, I'm asked to install the "printer-driver-postscript-hp" components, but after downloading and installing, the procedure stops with an error...
    Any tip?

    Hi rkulikov, I get the following message:
    "An error occurred when installing Parallels Tools. Please go to /var/log/parallels-tools-install.log for more information."
    I've been trying to post this log onto here twice in the past few days but it doesn't seem to get validated by moderators.
