Parallels Tools for M1 aarch64 not working (Kali 2021.1) - Does anyone know any workaround?

Since I am not able to install Parallel Tools, the screen resolution of the virtual machine is not configured properly.

Code:

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/media/kali/Parallels Tools]
└─$ sudo ./install                                                        102 ⨯
[sudo] password for kali:
./install: línea 43: /media/kali/Parallels Tools/installer/installer.aarch64: No existe el fichero o el directorio

Code:

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/media/kali/Parallels Tools/installer]
└─$ sudo ./install-cli.sh --install-unattended-with-deps                                        102 ⨯
Started installation of Parallels Guest Tools version '16.3.2.50531'
Error: Xorg version 1.20 not supported

 

Still looking for a solution! Any help?

FYI: I tried to manually configure /etc/default/grub as described in https://wiki.debian.org/GrubTransition

Code:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Also with vga parameter. But, neither of these worked.

 

I made it!

I realized the option to install Parallel Tools from menu did not mount the latest tools available, so I manage to do all the process manually:

1) I copied the iso file /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin-arm.iso to guest linux
2) mount iso file
3) run installed

 

This is still an issue 2022-08-24;

Solution:

On host macOS open up terminal and run:

```
cd /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools
python -m http.server
```

On the guest VM open a terminal and run the following:

```
curl http://10.211.55.2:8000/prl-tools-lin-arm.iso -o /tmp/prl-tools.iso
mount -oloop /tmp/prl-tools.iso /media/cdrom0
cd /media/cdrom0
sudo bash install-cli.sh --install-unattended-with-deps
```

Wait for the installation to complete, reboot the guest VM, Toiols are now installed, your `/media/psf` should once again have shared folders within; aswell as other functionality (drag and drop, clipboard etc) don't forget to go back to the macOS terminal and press ctrl+c to exit the python process serving the http server for the directory.

`10.211.55.2` is _normally_ the ip of the macOS host, however yours may vary, review this on the macOS host, you _can_ also use the LAN ip address, to find that head to System Preferences > Network, the ip address for the connected network will be displayed on the right of the window; similar to the following:

```CONNECTED

Wi-Fi is connected to NETWORK-NAME and has the
IP Address 123.123.123.123.
```

The ip address listed can be used in the above curl command to reach the python http server and pull the ISO file into the guest.
