Parrallels Toolkit Breaks Kali Rolling

After installing Parallels Toolkit to a Kali VM I get this screen upon reboot

I have been able to reproduce this twice on my personal machine now. Here are the steps.
1. I am using the Kail 64bit ISO from https://www.kali.org/downloads/ in Debian Linux VM
2. Once the VM is installed I do the following terminal commands
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade -y
  • sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
  • restart
3. Then I try to install the toolkit by mounting the cdrom from the nav bar and then
  • umount /media/cdrom
  • mount -o exec /media/cdrom
  • cd /media/cdorm
I did those steps in 2 because of the comment from https://forum.parallels.com/threads/kali-2016-cant-install-parallels-tools.331796/ User MauricioB1. I was having problems related to that thread.

Same problem here!

Actually, any display manager fails to start. Lightdm simply fails with blank screen, with sddm from KDE I've got segfault:

Seems that this is X server startup problem because other system parts operates normally.
 
Yep, it is it. Here is X server log:

I've decided to run Kali from VirtualBox, because using it without VM tools is a subpar experience.
 
Same problem here!
macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (Host) and Kail 64bit (Guest).
There's some workaround?

This issue seem to be solved now. First I updated to Parallels to 12.1.2 (41525), then I installed Kali from kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso and ran dist-upgrade before installing the drivers.
 
Same problem! OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (Host) and Kail 64bit (Guest).
Just update Parallels Desktop to version 12.1.2.
