- 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.
I had been using Ubuntu 8.4 very successfully on 3.0 (an unofficial build release). I upgraded to Parallels 4.0[3540] and apart from loosing the network, Ubuntu would become slower and hang after a while - rarely could I get more than a very hours work out of it. Start up again and it would be ok for a while then begin to slow. If it was left with an active log-on screen for an hour of two, chances are it would have already hung. Very frustrating. I loaded a new VM with Ubuntu 8.10 which works well (including the Parallel Tools) except I am getting the feeling it is slowing down also. It has not hung (yet). Now Parallels 4.0 officially supports Ubuntu 8.4! Fixing Ubuntu 8.4 support would probably fix Ubuntu 8.10?
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.
Solution? Seems to work! I have confirmed the setting of the three sets of parameters above does work for both Ubuntu 8.4 and 8.10. That should give the Parallels chaps at least a starting point to fixing the problem.
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!
