Parallels 4 and Ubuntu 8.10

[mojo6771]

- 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.

Hello.
note, that Ubuntu 8.10 is not officially supported, you can see this in the User Guide.

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

already existed.

And John@Parallels who posted here

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.

We are investigating this case now

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!
