- on mac book pro (late 2008) version hangs - using parallel tools This occurs pretty much after a few hours so so. One needs to shutdown and restart the guest os.
parallel 3? with parallels 3 this worked beautifully. I upgraded to parallels 4 for the parallel tools and full screen view..
hi I did a fresh install of intrepid and works fantastic only things is I can view shared folders with sudo priveleges
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/pd40_docs/readme_pdfm/ says ubuntu 8.04 is supported http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=32250 says 8.10 is supported.. --- which is the correct answer?
Hello, both are correct. The case is that when Ubuntu 8.10 was published, the http://www.parallels.com/products/de...s/readme_pdfm/ already existed. And John@Parallels who posted here http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=32250 installed it himself on Parallels Desktop 4.0. That is why he says it is supported.
Definitely Hanging I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 on Parallels 4.0 and it hangs after probably 20 or 30 minutes. The only thing I can do is restart the VM. Any ideas on what the deal is? I'll try and do an install of Ubuntu 8.04 and see if it makes any difference on Parallels 4.
Solution? Hi John, Thanks. I've found that following some of the directions in this thread seems to have stopped my Ubuntu 8.10 install from locking up. Specifically: Shared Folders -> Both Items Unchecked Services -> Sync Time with Host machine disabled Optimization -> Adaptive Hypervisor checked I was able to run my 8.10 install without any lockouts or slow-downs yesterday for approximately 12 hours. Before that I was lucky if I got 10 minutes. Now I changed all of those settings all at once, so I'm not sure if only one of them is responsible for the lockups or if it's a combination. Hope this helps.
What Versions Are Affected? I ran into this problem a couple days ago...I too would have to reboot the virtual machine to make it work. One time, however, the virtual machine would not respond and Parallels would not stop/restart/kill the VM. I tried everything on the Mac to kill it....even using the unix "kill -9 pid" command. My Mac wouldn't even restart or shutdown. I had to unplug it to shut it down. So I have two questions: first, is it only the 32-bit versions of Ubuntu that are affected or is the 64-bit version affected as well. Second question: Was this problem fixed in build 3810? Thanks for the info!
