I've installed Parallels on my Ubuntu 6.10 laptop. I've run parallels-config, which runs correctly (using the #!/bin/bash change suggested in other threads).

However, when I run parallels, I get this:

Code: 
matt@matt-laptop:~$ parallels
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
  Major opcode:  145
  Minor opcode:  3

I've seen other threads where people say they've fixed segfaults by entering an activation key, but I don't even get a window, so can't enter a registration key.

Can anyone help. If this works well, I'll buy a license. I just want to test it to make sure it works well.

Cheers

Matt
 
I've also tried putting in the trial registration key using:
Code: 
parallels -r [registration-code]
which gives an identical result.
 
What are you getting when you run parallels-config?

Are you running parallels as root?

Did you download the debian package file or the tarball?
 
parallels-config runs without error.

I am not running parallels as root.

I downloaded and installed the .deb file. Presumably the tarball that they offer still only installs binaries (except for the kernel modules), so I'm not sure how that would change things. Or am I missing something?

I'm seeing the same problem. I get parallels to start, then when i try to start a VM, it crashes and says that message.
 
This has little to do with license issues. For reasons known only to the Parallels developers, it needs to temporarily rename one of the Qt libraries during initialization. This will succeed only when started as root.

Try invoking as 'sudo parallels' and I'll bet it comes to life.

It would really be nice if Parallels development could comment on this!
